Whatever she offered him for his support, it must have been good. She doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting the nomination and I can’t believe he’s too stupid to know this. He must have been offered something big to get him to make such a longshot bet this early in the game.
Haley was against Trump, before she was for Trump, before she was hinting that she was ever so slightly not so much for Trump after all without actually mentioning his name.
She was a brown girl in a black and white world, who removed the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds, then went to work for the man who brought that flag into the U.S. Capitol building, then ran a political ad calling Democrats “socialists” and implying somehow that the 1619 Project brought about a burning summer of riots by Black Lives Matter after the George Floyd murder.
Yes, we’ve always known who she is, since her identity is all over the map.
Also, I hate her mincing content-free artificial speech patterns.
I’m guessing he wants Haley in because the more primary candidates there are, the better Trump’s chances become. He’ll be encouraging other candidates to join, especially when Marshall Law (R-Ignorance) expresses some interest.
I wouldn’t count her out at all. She’s what a lot of never Trumpers have been waiting for and a lot of voters who held their noses when voting for Biden will feel a lot better about voting for her. The media will also fawn over her while TFG and DeSantis beat the shit out of each other about how she is so great to stay above the fray.
Rishi Sunak was a breakthrough for the Indian community in the UK. His wife is richer than the king of England, and owns Wendy’s franchises in India, but he was just an average rich kid. I’m pretty sure the much poorer Haley will also be marketed as an Indian success story. Her problem, in fact, may be that she is too poor.
