    Just wait until she drops out:

    “Trump is the leader we need, he’s bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he’s super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah.”

    Yes? Everyone has known this since 2016 at the very least. You lost Nikki. Trump’s supporters like that he’s unhinged and demented. They’re hypocrites.

    Be that as it may, Trump is going to crush her in her home state. She trails Trump 63% to 32% in an average of the state’s polls.

    At some point in the next month or so, she’ll drop out and endorse this unhinged and diminished

      IF she drops, and that’s a big if, she wouldn’t do it before SCOTUS makes it’s decision on Trump’s eligibility. Even after that it would behoove her to stay in because DJT’s unhealthy lifestyle could catch up with him at any moment.

      She won’t drop out as long as people are donating to fund her campaign operations (which no doubt includes living full time out of hotels at the campaign’s expense). I’m convinced most campaigns are really an excuse to get a free vacation.

    Part of me is going to enjoy watching her debase herself to kiss the ring and endorse Trump when she loses. These people have no spine.

    Wow, 34 indictments for the Stormy Daniel’s affair? I’ve been following Trump’s legal problems fairly closely, but that nugget escaped me (that’s what she said).

    Hasn’t Haley already practically lost the nomination? Or is she aiming for the miniscule chance of Trump going to prison?

      She’s staying in the news, which is valuable and a strategic approach to take, especially with how old trump is. Her time will be in 4 years or less.

      Someone I know thinks that the Russian war / Israel war didn’t happen during Trump’s term because they were too afraid of Trump’s unhinged trigger finger to risk it but we’re fine attempting it with Biden as president 🤣

      This is a lame attempt at a gotcha and just makes you the type of person you are attacking here.

      No, Republicans hate trans people. My name is not “fake,” and I’m not a pawn for your political bullshit. Fuck off.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Donald Trump is “unhinged” and “diminished”, said Nikki Haley, the former president’s last rival for the Republican presidential nomination, on Wednesday.

    In the 2016 campaign, Trump mocked John McCain, an Arizona senator and former nominee for president who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

    Having avoided the draft for that war, Trump was expected to pay a heavy political price but did not, going on to attract controversy in office for allegedly deriding those who serve.

    Haley’s use of the word “diminished” spoke to concerns about Trump’s age – 77 – but also that of the president, Joe Biden, who at 81 is facing a barrage of Republican attacks about his fitness for office.

    The former president also faces civil suits over his business affairs and was on the receiving end of an $83.3m judgment in a defamation case arising from a rape allegation a judge said was “substantially true”.

    After supreme court arguments last week, Trump looks set to survive state attempts to remove him from the ballot for inciting an insurrection, the attack on Congress of 6 January 2021.
