When Biden attacks Trump, it’s dog bites man. But when Haley hits him, it’s news. And she can remind voters of all the bad things about Trump they’ve forgotten.
"Trump has called me a birdbrain, has insulted my character, and has made sexist and xenophobic comments about me.
"Well, primary voters, I cannot let this go without a response! And so, Mr. Trump, hear me now:
"If you continue your campaign of hate and division, I will have no choice but to drop out of the primary and endorse you.
"Make no mistake! I am no threat to you Mr. Trump. None! I will pardon you if elected, but do not for a second misunderstand! I will not be elected.
Unless as your VP. So read my lips: Where. Do. I. Submit. My. Resume.
"I know you like loyalty, Mr. Trump. Well, let me teach you a lesson or two about loyalty: If chosen, I will submissively serve you. And nothing - not laws, norms, or the interests of the country - will slow me down. Hear me again: I will NOT back down from any loyalty test you throw at me.
"In closing, remember: I will do anything to drink from the sweet bloody chalice of power at any cost. Thank you."
Probably after he guarantees her the VP spot.
Honestly that's like a ticket to become president right there.
Trump has some kind of degenerative dementia and he's losing what's left of his grip on reality quickly. If his decline continues at the same pace he'll be incapable of doing any of his duties in the first year, if he's not dead from it.
I mean.. whatever. These throwaway armchair John Madden style articles where the premise is basically "Now what Nikki Hayley needs to do to win this election, is get more votes than the other guy" are a complete distraction, and jesus christ, are they fucking everywhere.
It seems like every 20 minutes one of these, effectively dishrag, tier articles is written, which is mostly just banal color commentary about the drapes. Journalists really do need to engage their critical thinking skills, and maybe slow down the pace a bit.
It's like the pot going after the kettle for being too black. Nikki Haley may be a little easier on the ears and the eyes, but she's still a spineless repuglican coward. Even USA Today called her that and said if she wasn't a coward, she's be brave enough to call out trump for being a rapist, a woman-hater, a traitor to America, a thief, a liar, and all the rest.
She never will. She's too spineless and she's too much a puppet of right-wing nutjobbery.
