Discussion: Scarborough Warns Dem 2020 Hopefuls: 'Expect To Be Running Against Nikki Haley'

If I were actually war-gaming this

Sez the political whiz kid who couldn’t see what a tool he was for Trump’s garnering free media on his show (hours of it in 2015-16).

OKAY so when you “war game this” exactly what happens in the next 12 months to cause Donald to abandon his existing reelection campaign?
Are we to believe that Trump just spontaneously tweets “I quit” ?

Amen to that. History is being rewritten even as we speak…and by some of the same useful rightwing idiots and collaborators that played along with the clusterfuck we have today. Its just a matter of time before all these so-called never-tRumpers come up with a new and improved definition of what a real conservative is so they can all jump back in the boat together. All those Republicans that now claim the Republican party deserves to die, will be right back onboard as soon as tRump and Co. is taken down. All of them, even if they have to dig up the dead corpse of Ronnie Raygun to do it all over again.

I would tell everybody thinking about running, plan your campaign against Donald Trump, but expect to be running against Nikki Haley.

He thinks Nikki Haley can win the Republican nomination?

Anything is possible with The Tariff Man.

Naw. Saint Ronnie Raygun’s sacred parts were taken to various places and enshrined into the holy alters of conservatism…just like Christianity has done it for forever. Wander around Europe and be amazed (or not) at the grandeur of the medieval churches, and be slightly cheeped out with you find that such and such church has the right big toe, the thigh bone, and the left testicle of saint something or other as their ‘holy relics.’

Do YOU really want to know where Saint Ronnie left testicle lies?

You’re one funny-ass guy – er, person? But you make a point. I’ve often felt disgust at the parallels of Reagan worship and hagiography. The man was a moron, good at reading 3 x 5 cards, otherwise an essentially ignorant man, a useful idiot if there ever was one. He expanded military spending, attacked regulatory agencies and cut corporate taxes. There wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between his attraction to the voters and that of Trump’s. He ran an ugly, racist campaign, talked voodoo economics.

If she’s pushing the same worn out old republican ideas that have been show not to work I really don’t see why she should be able to win regardless of how popular she seems to be with republicans, who as we have seen with Donald, don’t care how shitty someone is if they are the R on the ballot.

Exactly my thought–a woman of color (even one who’ll never infringe on white, cis-hetero, male, christianist, nativist, etc. supremacy)?

Spot on! I said for years after W’s final departure (w/ the rise of President Obama) that the supposedly non/bi-partisan Teabaggers were really nothing more than (temporarily) embarrassed Republican’ts.[quote=“srfromgr, post:4, topic:81564”]
