She showed her ass really hard this time around. Glad the warmongering turd is continuing to lose state by state and too stupid to drop out.

WHAT A SURPRISE: Neocon Nikki Rows Back on Pledge to Endorse Trump, Could Stay in Race Until July

By Ben Kew | Mar. 3, 2024 9:20 am

Republican primary candidate Nikki Haley appeared to row back on her pledge to endorse Donald Trump when her failing campaign eventually comes to an end.

“I think I’ll make what decision I want to make,” Haley said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “But that’s not something I’m thinking about.”

The Republican National Committee (RNC) required all candidates who appeared on the debate stage to sign a pledge indicating they would support the party’s eventual nominee. When asked about whether she would endorse Trump even if he were convicted , Haley raised her hand.

Howeer, Haley added that “the RNC is not the same RNC” and that she no longer feels bound by the pledge.

The establishment candidate also suggested that despite many of her largest donors pulling out, she may stay in the race until the Republican National Convention in July, fighting out Donald Trump to the bitter end despite having lost every single race so far.

“If the people want to see me go forward, they’ll show it,” she said. “They’ll show it in their votes. They’ll show it in their donations.”

Haley also cast doubt that Trump would follow the constitution if elected, feeding the left-wing narrative that he plans on ruling by decree.

“I don’t know. I don’t – I don’t know,” said when asked about it. “I mean … you always want to think someone will, but I don’t know.”

She continued:

"You know, when you … go and you talk about revenge – when you go and you talk about, you know, vindication [and] when you go and you talk about – what does that mean? Like, I don’t know what that means, and only he can answer for that.

What I can answer for is, I don’t think there should ever be a president that’s above the law. I don’t think that there should ever be a president that has total immunity to do whatever they want to do."

On Friday, Haley picked up endorsements from RINO Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, both of whom voted to impeach Donald Trump.

“Two strong senators in one day. I’m grateful to have their support,” she wrote on the X platform. “Thank you Sens. [Susan Collins] and [Lisa Murkowski]. We have a country to save!”

RINOs endorsing a RINO. What a shock. Lol.

^^^^
Was just coming here to post the same thing, Doc. That bitch just keeps stepping on her own dick. How ANY "Republican" can support that moron is beyond me. But we all know 98% of her "voting base" is Demotards trying to skew the numbers and have no intent WHATSOEVER of pulling the lever for her come November EVEN IF she were the R Candidate, which she won't be.

“If the people want to see me go forward, they’ll show it,” she said. “They’ll show it in their votes. They’ll show it in their donations.”

What people? She got 19% at our Caucus yesterday, and 0 delegates. Trump got 81% and all of the delegates.
The great majority want nothing to do with her.

Never Nikki.

I can’t wait to see her lose to President Trump in the DC primary.

And we don't know what percentage of her supporters are even Republican voters to begin with.

Lincoln County MO was Trump 342 to Haley 17.

nikki needs to just blown on down the road to be never seen or heard from again. Oh, and take liz cheney with ya....

Nikki Haley’s complete ignorance of her own party is why Trump is the last candidate standing

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...standing/ar-BB1jeFwS

As the window closes on her presidential campaign, Nikki Haley is changing her tune.

She’s no longer just attacking Donald Trump, she’s also attacking Republicans who support him.

All of them.

Losing is a kind of death that concentrates the mind, and with Super Tuesday likely to be her last stand, Haley is unleashing on the people whose votes she courted for more than a year.

She didn’t persuade enough of them, so now she’s blaming them for not being the right kind of Republicans.

“I get why Republicans are leaving the Republican Party, because we were just always about small government and freedom: economic freedom, personal freedom,” Haley told a gaggle of reporters Friday.

“You don’t see economic freedom coming from Republicans now.”
In the next breath, she threw the media under the bus, saying, “All of you have made this race about Trump. You haven’t made it about a primary, you haven’t made it about the direction of the country. You’ve just made it about Trump.”

If that wasn’t confusing enough, she insisted she’s not against him.

“I’m not anti-Trump,” she claimed.

“This is about the fact that I think America is better than this. And I think that the Republican Party is better than this, and I think we can do more than this.”

Minutes later, she took a rally stage and eviscerated Trump over the national debt, tariffs, threatening to leave NATO and pretty much everything else she could think of.

Out of step

Even allowing that Haley has little to lose at this point, her burn-it-down day was extraordinary.

It also illustrated why she has seen her GOP support actually decline during the primaries and why she gets much of her backing from Democrats, some of whom want to boost her because they believe she would be easier to beat in November.

For all of Haley’s energy and commendable record of public service, she’s out of step with the party she wants to lead.

She doesn’t seem to like it very much and its voters have returned the favor.

After her chat with Washington reporters, some described her as appealing to a party that no longer exists.

As Bloomberg news put it, she “lamented the direction of the Republican Party — claiming it has abandoned its core principles of small government and free markets.”

Naturally, this angle was framed as an American tragedy, as if those reporters had great affection for the GOP until Trump ruined everything.

If you believe that. . .

In truth, Haley’s not wrong that the party has changed.

But she doesn’t seem to understand why it had to change.

It would help if she at least recognized that radical leftists now control the Dems’ agenda and that a collegial GOP approach is doomed to fail.

Like the media, Haley yearns for the days when the GOP was genteel, united — and comfortable with losing.

Enter Trump, and whatever anyone wants to say of him, most of which is true, his GOP is no longer comfortable with losing.

He survived the spying of the FBI and CIA, defeated Hillary Clinton and is again under relentless attack from Dem media and prosecutors.

He has somehow survived it all and that is why he’s going to be the party’s presidential nominee for the third consecutive time.

And don’t forget that his policy record is far superior to President Biden’s, especially on the border and economy.

Trump’s ace, of course, is that his supporters see in him a defender and street fighter they never had in Mitt Romney, John McCain or either of the Bushes.

And Haley, despite her racial background and pioneering efforts to break the party’s glass ceiling, more resembles the GOP nominees of yesteryear than Trump.

Her temperament and policies are why many Trump supporters call her a RINO — a Republican in name only.

That’s the ultimate insult, reserved for those who are willing to compromise with Democrats on the assumption the favor will be returned.

Anyone who believes such give-and-take Dems still exist isn’t paying attention.

Dems stick together

Three examples of how today’s Dems play by the cutthroat rules formerly ascribed to leaders of the Soviet Union: What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is negotiable.

First, despite a historically-narrow House margin and internal splits, Republicans took the rare step of expelling one of their own, George Santos, after he was indicted on federal charges.

A Democrat, Tom Suozzi, recently won the special election for the New York seat.

By comparison, Dems control the razor-tight Senate, but there was no push to expel one of their own, New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, who was indicted on more serious charges, which included being a foreign agent.

Second, consider how each side views impeachment.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Dem-controlled House ginned-up charges against Trump over Ukraine during his presidency, and produced two articles of impeachment.

Both were approved, with only two Dems voting no on the first and only three voting no on the second.

On the second Trump impeachment, after Jan. 6, 10 Republicans joined all Dems in voting yes and GOP Rep. Liz Cheney was a chief architect of the House hearings that followed.

Now Republicans have the House, but struggled even to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his refusal to secure the border.

The first vote failed in a tie, a second vote succeeded by one vote as three Republicans joined all Dems voting no.

Notice how Dems, whatever their differences, stick together for the big votes?

As for impeaching Joe Biden over his corrupt family schemes, the GOP had trouble getting a majority of its members just to support a formal impeachment inquiry.

All Dems voted no.

During hearings, Dems try to derail witnesses and downplay testimony, and unite in defending the president despite evidence Biden participated in the schemes.

No matter that testimony and bank records show he got money from his brother Jim Biden, who got it from foreign clients.

There is no Dem version of Liz Cheney willing to break ranks, nor is there enough GOP support to even consider an impeachment vote.

Ruthless politics

Third, there’s the unprecedented move to prosecute and bankrupt Trump, with indictments and civil cases coming from New York, Georgia and federal authorities — all led by Democrats.

In addition, numerous blue states outrageously considered or tried to ban Trump from appearing on ballots.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on the matter.

Lest anyone think the legal assault is organic, The New York Times reported two years ago that Biden was unhappy that Attorney General Merrick Garland had not prosecuted Trump.

Soon, Garland saluted and obeyed.

On the Georgia case, chief prosecutor Fani Willis hired her lover and appears to have lied about it under oath.

Records show Willis & Co. spent days in the White House, suggesting Biden aides helped direct prosecution of his Republican opponent.

That’s the united, ruthless front Republicans are up against, and it’s why Trump, and only Trump, is the last candidate standing.

But see, she only lost by 60%. And 60% is a long, long way from 100%. So she's really in this thing. It's really a tight race.

Or, as I've long been saying: When Dems utter the word "compromise" what they really mean is "do it my way."

It's worse than that, because, as well as presenting a nearly united front: They lie and cheat. Even with their united front it's still the only way they can win.

And they know it. That's why they do it. That and the complete absence of a moral compass.

Her behavior is bizarre. All this talk about how shadowy, powerful forces are driving her campaign- It could be so, but I don't think that's what's going on.

I think she's a power-hungry opportunist who realizes this is her only chance, if you can even call a non-zero probability a chance. I also think she's not entirely sane, because you'd have to be nuts to think conservative voters would ever put you in the White House after behaving this way. The look in her eyes when she speaks- this chick is not playing with a full deck.

Also, I think this backstabbing bitch has a huge ego which has been severely bruised by Donald Trump and his supporters, and I think that just possibly, this is the key factor affecting her irrational behavior.

And I'll tell you something else, and I know I'm far from alone: You could put a gun to my head and I still wouldn't pull the lever for this crazy bitch. Never, ever would I vote for her. If it came down to her and whatever leftist the Dems prop up, I simply would abstain from voting. I despise this piece of shit.

A rational person would understand that you couldn't even begin to count the voters who feel the same as I, and the same is true for any person with integrity; they simply would not be doing what Haley is doing. Even Chris Christie figured it out. The voters have made it clear who is their chosen candidate.

As to her career from this point on- I'm certain that someone will hire her, or she may have success on the lecture circuit or whatever, but her political career is over, unless she comes out as a Democrat.

Just ask Benedict Arnold how that worked out for him.

Her handlers had assured her that Trump would not be on the ballot. By hook or by crook, that was their intention. Outlast DeSantis and the others, don't say anything to get MAGA too riled up, and when they removed Trump from the ballot, as the last one standing, she would become the nominee. Nikki the reasonable, Nikki the safe, Nikki the establishment choice.

What happened to McCarthy should have been an awakening, but instead of reading tea leaves, the establishment doubled down on the low road and kept the full-court press on Trump's possible prosecution.

And now that's not happening, so we get the predictable reaction of her going off the rails because things didn't turn out the way they'd planned.

It's too late for her. All the cases against Trump are falling apart (because they were a house of cards to start with) and now she has no path to victory. She can't even win her home state, so winning the nomination is not possible, and because she has stayed in so long and said so much, she can't be a serious contender even as a VP pick.

Much like Liz Cheney, after this election, her days as a "conservative" politician are over. Oh sure, she could probably find a spot as another Murkowski or Collins, but as a serious conservative? Ain't happening.

Sometimes, people set themselves on a trajectory they don't know how to alter, and this is particularly true when things play out in public, and on the national or global stage.

This insane woman stood up and said "I've made a promise I'm not quitting, because that's the kind of woman I am." It seems to be lost on her that no one asked her to make such a promise, or even expressed hope to that effect indirectly. All this "strong independent woman" stuff telegraphs a message that people who express it or are attracted to it, don't comprehend, and that message is one of weakness and insecurity. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to keep saying this stuff.

Haley has no future as a republican candidate. The voting public have this painfully clear. Her flapping her gums against Trump is only another nail in her coffin. She will make a fine democrat in the next election cycle.

She got 7% of our caucus and as we all met as a group the Haley group gathered their items and left.

That's an excellent synopsis of the situation. Thanks!
