    Haley also told Brennan she hasn’t been asked to campaign for Trump and isn’t advising him or his campaign, but she remains “on standby.”

    and there you have it. happy to be his dishrag - pulled out and put away as needed.

      Edit: word, republican-lites


      It reminds me of the Republican-lites.

      Bernie Sanders fell in line in 2016, 2020, and now in 2024.

      As well as the squad and AOCPelosi.

        In the US Republican and Democrat (with a capital letter) aren’t used to talk about political leanings, it’s ok to call the Democrats by their name while also keeping in mind that they’re mostly conservatives by international standards, it makes it much easier to understand what you’re talking about than “Republican-lites”.

        At least Sanders and the likes don’t care much for the establishment so they do come out and say things that go against what the Democrats platform is. They’re much more like the Cheney (Dick and Liz) that announced they wouldn’t vote for Trump than they are like Haley that doesn’t have the guts to actually say she lost to a sociopath.

          Conservatives hate books. They ban them and burn them every chance they get.

      On the other hand, I’m pretty sure she’d be a better candidate than Donald Trump. Very low bar, but still.

        She would easily win against Kamala. Thank God the base is dumb enough to keep supporting Trump.

      And Trump is… better…?

      She’s an absolute dipshit, but I’d swap her out for all the Trump idiocy in a heartbeat, simply because of the potential for harm and massive amounts of stochastic terrorism that Trump inherently poses.

      They’re all like this. Ted Cruz’s wife gets called ugly and Ted sucks him off. Lindsey Graham says something innocuous about Trump, Trump tells a reporter he doesn’t give a shit what Lindsey thinks. Oh shucks, well, whatever. Most republicans are reported to have talked about how bad for the country he is behind closed doors, INCLUDING TRUMP’S CURRENT RUNNING MATE, but that person is also too unprincipled to do the right thing. Even in spite of the family members he says he worries about under a Trump presidency.

      Republicans simply cannot rebuke Trump anymore, because the idiots who vote for him are single issue voters now, and the single issue is whether or not the candidate is endorsed by their golden spray tanned god. Those people are deplorable. Their hate is the one thing driving their political opinions.

    Which can be summed up as “do whatever puts more money into the pockets of rich people, especially Trump himself”.

    Trump is the most accurate representation of conservatives in U.S. politics. This has been proven time and time again for over a decade. He accurately represents them. He is them.

      The reason there is a “party system” at all is because of our voting system. It forces a two party system and if you don’t listen to the parties you’ll throw your vote away. If we switch to Ranked Choice Voting this wouldn’t be a problem anymore and we’d be able to actually elect the most popular candidate.

    Hey Nikki? Hey, maybe that’s not a good thing. Maybe that’s something you shouldn’t be happy about, and something you should push back against if you actually care about your party or your country.

    What’s that? You only care about your own skin?

      If trump is elected, she will be lucky not to be in a gulag of some sort within the first six months. They’ll retroactively remove birthright citizenship, including hers, and round her up with all the other undesirables.

    This gives me hope, if people truly hate the populous figure head, then it’s not sustainable long term.
