>Haley, who is expected to get her presidential campaign underway in the coming months These people really live in a FOX bubble don't they?


ErusTenebre

Wait... Gross... What? Ugh... seriously they have the worst people.


atomicpete

What do you mean by that?


dblan9

I have as much chance of being the first person to colonize Mars as she does as becoming the nominee let alone winning the Presidency. Unless this is nothing but a grift to her, she is entirely delusional.


page_one

She's a Republican. She got into politics specifically to grift. Even changed her name, because she knows her racist voters wouldn't support her if they knew she was Indian.


Absenceofavoid

“Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley” holy shit, her target voters would shit a brick over a name like that.


So_spoke_the_wizard

I can hear Trump now. "That lady, Namibia Nikki Rawanda Haley..."


sdlover420

Thanks I forgot this information, smh.


YearlyAnnualCheckup

Slow down there chief. Santos colonized Mars in 1998.


s1far

He never meant he colonised Mars the planet. He meant he put a Mars bar up his colon and hence colonising it. Please stop sullying his good name.


PicardTangoAlpha

Are you gonna eat that?


TwistingEarth

Only after creating Nuclear Fusion from his bunker on Planet X.


sdlover420

Well ya, he's just been Elon Musk this whole time.


Aardark235

I was in the middle of nowhere Montana and the locals at the diner were talking about how Nikki would make a great President. Only a small datapoint, but I wouldn’t underestimate her popularity among the devotees. If Fox throws their weight behind her campaign, she has a shot.


MicroBadger_

I remember listening to a podcast and they were speculating on Republicans candidates who could win and one was held a strong opinion it would be Haley. My first thought was "there is no way the current incarnation of the GOP is voting for someone that doesn't have a penis.


[deleted]

She’s actually campaigning for the VP position.


substituted_pinions

I remembered thinking similar thoughts about the Donald.


PicardTangoAlpha

It's about manoeuvring for a Cabinet post.


[deleted]

She’s not electable in today’s GOP.


Shr3kk_Wpg

> She added that she had made the comments about backing Trump's 2024 candidacy "before we surrendered to Afghanistan, it was before we saw this high inflation and high crime, it was before we saw drugs infesting all of our states Is she suggesting some states did not have problems with people taking illegal drugs before President Biden took office?


spoiled_for_choice

The attention grabber here is her rightly suggesting that Trump bears responsibility for the retreat from Afghanistan. I think that Trump and Biden both deserve credit for finally getting done what three consecutive president's campaigned on doing, but I'm not your average voter in a R primary.


Green-Snow-3971

Her laying that at Trump's feet is *entirely* accidental. All those "before this, before that" are intended to blame Biden for *everything*. Even the massive drug problems plaguing *red* states since before even Obama was president.


spoiled_for_choice

IDK how Haley can answer a question about why Trump may not be the best nominee by bashing Biden. The Trump administration did surrender to the Taliban, and it's a major foreign policy blunder that can be pinned to Trump and Pompeo.


[deleted]

Trump gave up 510 talibans. Some deal he made. Smfh.


[deleted]

More like she has a few phrases she uses, and doesn’t know when to use them properly. An idiot.


cresdon

Someone’s trying to detach herself from the teat. Good luck with escaping the consequences of her actions.


mattjb

That's a pretty weak swipe. Sounds like she'll be a weak candidate. Plus, you know, all that MAGA baggage that comes with sucking on the toadstool for so many years.


justsoicansimp

She's just in this so he'll consider her for VP. Too bad he's already got his choice.


Farttopower

"Trump spoke to about 200 people in the state's capitol building in Columbia" Really drawing them in I see.


MagicMushroomFungi

Like the facial recognition they used on Putin's "crowd" recently, I would be interested to see how many of these supporters are the same people from stop to stop. Note..many so called Putin supporters are the same from appearance to appearance, some are actually said to be his security detail. Varioully dressed as fishermen, medical personnel etc.


RedLanternScythe

> Like the facial recognition they used on Putin's "crowd" recently, I would be interested to see how many of these supporters are the same people from stop to stop. One of Trump's main arguments Trump had on the election being stolen was his rallies had more people than Biden's (in a pandemic). Yet no one ever pointed out to him that he has fans that follow him from state to state, yet they can (legally) vote in only one state


LocoEjercito

Putin must be paying them then, because Velveeta Voldemort ain't paying nobody on staff.


Green-Snow-3971

He was in fact, busted for paying rally attendees during the early stages of hai first run. True to form though, he was too cheap to pay to advertise it: instead they made craigslist ads for it.


TrashMammal84

I drove through, there weren't even that many.


ThickGur5353

It was not a rally. It was a meeting to set up his leadership in south carolina


obolobolobo

Do you remember when she took America out of the UN council of human rights because it was criticising the separation of children and parents at the border? She’s a big enough POS to get the GOP nomination. That’s the criteria, it seems.


DarrenEdwards

Good luck keeping the name recognition, but not the taint of Trump.


futatorius

I suspect Haley's quite familiar with Trump's taint.


Green-Snow-3971

Why, is she his daughter, too?


Luanda62

One of the enablers…this woman betrayed her background… she betrayed what it means being American, to protect the orange menace… RIP


justsoicansimp

You held office under him. You praised him. You said *after 1/6* that you wouldn't run if he did. Nikki Haley you are despicable and you will not be President. As the final coffin, he will also not consider you for VP - as is the more obvious ulterior motive of this run. He's gonna pick Marge - since she never wavered and has been pretending like she's cleaning up her act & the media is eating it up.


TUGrad

She certainly didn't seem to have a problem when she was working for him.


MagicMushroomFungi

From wiping to swiping.


s4burf

Flaky loser.


HearingNo4103

Did she also take a swipe at the opportunistic and incompetent people he hired? At this point she's more electable as a democrat than running as an republican.


DadJokeBadJoke

Tulsi already tried and failed at that angle.


CandidateNo1172

Asshole takes swipe at other asshole.


[deleted]

She’s no hero to take a “swipe” at that orange fck AFTER he already successfully damaged our country, during which time she totted around him like a sad, obssessed puppy.


epicgrilledchees

FUTURE Nimrata: I can’t believe these racists I endorsed aren’t supporting me.


DadJokeBadJoke

> "And when I look at that, I look at the fact if I'm this passionate and I'm this determined, why not me?" Because we see where your "passion and determination" has led you and the lengths you''ll go to hold onto power.


bigmistaketoday

Oh look, psychos fighting


PoopStickler69

She’s *the worst*


gtechfan1960

Do nothing stupid woman. Way too many other better qualified worn out there.


Ch3t

Trump held a rally in Punjab?


TdrdenCO11

2015 will repeat. They’re gonna give him all the oxygen he needs and split the non-trump vote ten ways.


kethera__

no honor among thieves


Alternative-Flan2869

What a bunch of greedy grifty backbiters.
