    Just wait until she drops out:

    “Trump is the leader we need, he’s bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he’s super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah.”

      I’m hanging on to the pipe dream that she eventually drops out and endorses Biden. Can you imagine the reaction of Trump and his gang, the sheer apoplectic fury would like to make his head explode.

      I’m hoping her strategy is to stay in until the bitter end just in case Trump gets disqualified from the ballot.

          If nothing else, I want her to keep running because she’s just causing further chaos for Trump and splitting the Republican votes

            i live in a red state, so much so that some races in the general election are uncontested. if i don’t vote in the republican primary, i essentially don’t have a say in anything because i will be out-voted in the general even if there are multiple candidates. so i hold my nose and try to find the least bad option in the republican primaries. I did vote in the democratic primary in 2016 and 2020, though, b/c i had to support the Bernie man, so it depends on the circumstances. This is what our FPTP voting system has reduced me to.

    Yes? Everyone has known this since 2016 at the very least. You lost Nikki. Trump’s supporters like that he’s unhinged and demented. They’re hypocrites.

    Be that as it may, Trump is going to crush her in her home state. She trails Trump 63% to 32% in an average of the state’s polls.

    At some point in the next month or so, she’ll drop out and endorse this unhinged and diminished

      She won’t drop out as long as people are donating to fund her campaign operations (which no doubt includes living full time out of hotels at the campaign’s expense). I’m convinced most campaigns are really an excuse to get a free vacation.

      IF she drops, and that’s a big if, she wouldn’t do it before SCOTUS makes it’s decision on Trump’s eligibility. Even after that it would behoove her to stay in because DJT’s unhealthy lifestyle could catch up with him at any moment.

    Part of me is going to enjoy watching her debase herself to kiss the ring and endorse Trump when she loses. These people have no spine.

    Wow, 34 indictments for the Stormy Daniel’s affair? I’ve been following Trump’s legal problems fairly closely, but that nugget escaped me (that’s what she said).

    Hasn’t Haley already practically lost the nomination? Or is she aiming for the miniscule chance of Trump going to prison?

      She’s staying in the news, which is valuable and a strategic approach to take, especially with how old trump is. Her time will be in 4 years or less.

    That is it? That’s the best you got?

    The man is a walking attack ad generator and all you can say is “unhinged and disminished.” Name one way Republicans don’t suxk.

      Someone I know thinks that the Russian war / Israel war didn’t happen during Trump’s term because they were too afraid of Trump’s unhinged trigger finger to risk it but we’re fine attempting it with Biden as president 🤣

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Donald Trump is “unhinged” and “diminished”, said Nikki Haley, the former president’s last rival for the Republican presidential nomination, on Wednesday.

    In the 2016 campaign, Trump mocked John McCain, an Arizona senator and former nominee for president who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

    Having avoided the draft for that war, Trump was expected to pay a heavy political price but did not, going on to attract controversy in office for allegedly deriding those who serve.

    Haley’s use of the word “diminished” spoke to concerns about Trump’s age – 77 – but also that of the president, Joe Biden, who at 81 is facing a barrage of Republican attacks about his fitness for office.

    The former president also faces civil suits over his business affairs and was on the receiving end of an $83.3m judgment in a defamation case arising from a rape allegation a judge said was “substantially true”.

    After supreme court arguments last week, Trump looks set to survive state attempts to remove him from the ballot for inciting an insurrection, the attack on Congress of 6 January 2021.


    The original article contains 579 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Unhinged is such a meaningless word. It’s as bad as “slammed”

      Everyone deserves to be addressed they way they prefer to be. Pronouns, nicknames, hyphens, it’s not your call to make for other people.
