Fact remains that unless one of the others gets within 10 points of Trump in Iowa or NH, it’s game over. This primary will be done by second week of February.
Nikki Haley surges past DeSantis in New Hampshire as Trump maintains lead
- Thread starter cigaretteman
- Start date
Nikki is the one most capable of beating Biden imo. I think she would. She would get the suburban soccer mom vote.
I don't understand how Rs can't see this but given the state of the party, it shouldn't surprise me.
Heard Christie question the tiny sampling size of this poll.
I think he will be #2 in NH.
Haley's column in Sunday's DMR was total pander to Iowa farmer
and full of misinformation.
She could be viable if she was not such a liar and lacks courage to hammer Trump.

For a current republican nominee Haley isn't bad. I would put Christie ahead of her for me personally. He seems more genuine and is more willing to call out Trump than any other candidate. I could live with either of those candidates becoming president. Vivek and Trump are the no-go's for me.
She has proven during this cycle she is by far the most competent and capable candidate to take on Biden. Unfortunately the Maga Crew will not allow it to happen.
You and I agree on something. I don’t agree with her on everything by a long shot but she’s not a complete psycho either. And she would have competent people around her.
But it ain’t happening with Trump still breathing.
You're worse than I thought...and I thought you were pretty bad to begin with.
She doesn't. It's people who would vote for her...after she acknowledges she would vote for the biggest PoS politician in US history...a guy who tried to overturn the election and encouraged people to attack our nation's capitol, that irritate me. Again, as much as you say you don't care for him, supporting a candidate who would, while he's in prison, says a lot about her and you for being fine with it. That's on you. Be proud. Gross.
If Trump is not on the ballot, does anyone really think that he won't be screaming about a rigged primary, and how he was cheated, and Haley is a Soros controlled plant, and the Marxists are trying to keep him from saving America? He will burn any other candidate to the ground versus support them. It's yet another of the fundamental errors that Ronna McDaniel and the rest of the establishment have failed to see in courting Trump and his cult.
When did she say she’d vote for him if he was in prison?
I do think it’s even money that Trump makes it alive to Election Day ‘24. Dude is looking worse each and everyday.
I think the ones supporting Trump are the ones motivated to vote in the primary. If voting was mandatory he wouldn't stand a chance. Apathy will nominate Trump a third time.
It's been game over since Trump declared his candidacy. It's not known as the Retrumplican party for nothing.
I would say she is acknowledging that his economic program/tax rate reductions in combination with his full-blown support of domestic drilling leads to prosperity. She will probably want to incorporate this stuff into her own administration.
This bent-knee hyperbolic rhetoric is simply spin from the radical Left. (Is she supposed to change her position on things or ignore the successes of President Trump? ... just to show that she is her own woman?) A candidate needs to take what was good under Trump and get back to that in a hurry once elected. Burned bridges hinder that. There was a lot of good in the Trump administration, but it was hidden behind the Russia nonsense.

Sorry. There was and is nothing good about Trump. He is the worst threat to our nation since the Civil War, and those who continue to support him are complicit.
She said she would support him even if convicted of every crime of which he has been accused. She said she would pardon him of everything if she were president.
She bent the knee. And she did it because GOP voters across the country are so despicable they won’t support anyone who does not bend the knee to their idol.
Given the state of the GOP, we're not going to see a candidate that appears to be of decent character or someone who will take a principled take on Trump or even reveal their honest feelings about him.
Those types of candidates are not viable given the repulsive nature of the GOP base. With that understood you have to just hope that the relatively better ones rise to the top, that would be at least a sign of progress and Haley certainly seems to be among the relative best.
That said, it is almost certainly hopeless unless Trump dies, which depending on the circumstances would be absolutely terrific news.

I am not a radical lefty and I simply cannot support any politician that looks past Trump’s attempts to dismantle our democracy. Let alone says they would support him again. One of my best friends is a Haley fan and I get it on so many levels. There is a lot to like about her on many fronts. But sometimes in life you have to draw a line in the sand and I don’t believe it is hyperbolic at all to say Trump attempted to overthrow a free and fair election.
I don’t look down on Haley supporters, but she crossed my personal line in the sand. It’s honestly too bad as I know several people that feel the same. I guess she hopes we will forget about this come November 2024…and she is probably right, maybe most will. I will not.
No Republican should pardon Trump. He wouldn’t quietly go away. We all know that. He’d immediately declare he’d the true leader of the party and issue edicts and opinions on everything, and attempt to browbeat whoever the president is.
Anyone but Trump….except Haley, DeSantis, Pence, Scott…oh we will accept Christie, but not Ramaswamy.
Every liberal on this board.
It doesn’t matter who the Republican’s pick in the primary, they won’t remotely support. Even if it is Christie, they are voting Biden. JFC, you all argue the same points every day, every week, every month. Rinse and repeat.

Christie is no longer a trump bootlicker, but he once was. The rest of them all suck, although at one time, I would have liked Haley.
The GOP went all in on Trump and isn't worthy of a vote. You're finally starting to get it. Miracle
It's one of those things where I don't believe anything a politician says in a primary. I actually don't think Haley believes most of what she's saying in this primary. I plan on caucusing Republican and I'll probably vote for her.
Yes
Also, I’m ok with someone who admits to not knowing everything. Better than Trump or DeSantis, who believe they are experts in all areas s
Why would you expect us to support someone of the opposite political party?
What a weird statement.
I agree. Not a fan of hers for that reason.
I was referring to the tweet and the snippet of the UN quote.
She’s the most palatable of the current GOP crop, though.
