Nikki Haley, asked if she thinks Trump is a "good candidate," replies "I think he is the Republican nominee"
Nikki Haley tells CBS News' Margaret Brennan she doesn't agree with Trump's style, approach or communications, but she backs his policies.
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.
133Edit: 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.
-85In 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.
28Would you describe yourself as an “effective communicator”?

No spine. Unprincipled. Glad she's not the nominee.
79On the other hand, I'm pretty sure she'd be a better candidate than Donald Trump. Very low bar, but still.
5She 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.
2They’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.

Party Over Country every single time
56That tells you more about Republican Party than about Trump
53That they hate America? Yeah, I gathered that.

Of all of the candidates, he is one.
44"Is it more important that democratic elections continue, or that your party win?"
"Well I do like being on the winning team..."
35backs his policies
Which can be summed up as "do whatever puts more money into the pockets of rich people, especially Trump himself".
33Translation: No, not at all but just in case he wins I don't to be on his hit list.
29Trump 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.
26"I don't have to think. The party has already told me how to think."
26He will unleash a bunch of unhinged right-wing radicals on my kids and try to ruin my life if i don't support him, so of course i support him.
6The 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.
3But then the corporations wouldn't be able to control legislation and that just won't work (for them).

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?
23Translation: "How dare you ask me this"
21she already flat backed herself by endorsing the orange traitor / brain worm infected MAGA ticket. Her days in the GOP of the future are done.
17If 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.

Completely feckless
14This gives me hope, if people truly hate the populous figure head, then it’s not sustainable long term.
Then again, people hated Stalin…
13Marshawn Lynch voice: "I'm just here so I won't get lynched."
10Then why did you work for him and endorse him?
9Air head. Susan Rice and Samantha Power both dance circles around her in terms of foreign policy prowess.
7What a nimroda 🤦♂️
7"Well... he's A candidate"
6Moral and Ethical Nikki Haley after Trump offers her a job in his Cabinet: Trump is THE BEST CANDIDATE in the World!
