I don't like Haley, and I will absolutely not be voting for her, but I don't subscribe to domestic terrorism as a tactic.
Unless it's directed at Donald Trump, because he would do no less to anyone, and I would bet good money the hoax callers are his sycophants.
I’m voting for her in a month in my state’s primary. She hasn’t earned my vote, but seeing how much it pisses off Trump is just too fucking good. She won’t win the nomination, but she can absorb his blows for a couple months and it extends the Republican in-fighting.
I would urge everyone to vote for her in your state’s primary. She’s not gonna win the primary, and even if she did, she won’t win a general election because all the Trumper’s are gonna write in Trump
Haley might win. It's conceivable, though unlikely, that the SC will follow the constitution and ban Donnie from office.
As someone pointed out in a different thread, she is the leading eligible Republican.
Beyond that, Trump is also fairly old too, it's not impossible for him to suffer a heart attack or something before the election, in which case the result would be similar of her winning the primary by default as the next most popular candidate. Maybe not likely, but again, possible
In a controlled experiment that is bound by the confines of logic, sure. She’s the leading eligible Republican. But in the real world where democracy in America is close to shattering, there’s no way she wins a general. All the prominent Republicans except for the ones who make their wealth off of free trade have endorsed Trump. Everyone in her home state has endorsed Trump. The governor, both senators, every congressman. They would likely flip their endorsements, but this is unprecedented. Trump wouldn’t accept the results. He would blame the RNC, and people like Ramaswamy and Kari Lake would echo his grievances. She won’t win the battleground states that way.
But in the real world where democracy in America is close to shattering, there’s no way she wins a general.
I think they were talking about winning the primary if Trump is disqualified.
She has very little chance of beating Biden if she wins the nomination, but I was writing about the nomination.
I’m actually switching sides in our state primary just to vote for her and not Trump. I’ll accept whoever is on the democratic side as I’ll vote for them in the general election so I want my vote to go to offset any going to Trump in the primary.
Getting her nominated would split the republican vote, guaranteeing a democrat victory.
AND guaranteeing the end of the MAGA/Freedom Caucus/Tea Party/Q Anon movement that has been fucking up US politics since Clinton was in office
Sadly, I don't think it'll really stop that group. They'll just find another person to rally behind.
domestic terrorism as a tactic
Imagine if we had Police who don't terrorize people based on a phone call directing them to what should be a well known address in their area.
