Why won't Nikki Haley be the first female POTUS?

Nikki is running for 2028.  Ron is running for…Casey.

The good news for Biden is that Trump will go hard at Nikki and Ron’ and trash them and their supporters as RINOs. That’ll leave a mark that doesn’t scrub away easily. There’s already been Nikki and Ron supporters who were on CNN, etc. and then got trashed by MAGA on their social media accounts, and it’ll only get worse.

If he  loses NH, he will also attack NH in that the election was rigged and most likely fake votes were submitted. Did Trump ever acknowledge that he didn't win each 2016 primary or caucus? I believe Cruz won a few and maybe Rubio one or two.

Trump cried fraud from the very first caucus.  Even after he won the nomination he literally said “it was all rigged but I don’t care because I won.”

Jonathan Lemire suggested this morning that after she gets beat in NH she might withdraw to avoid the humiliation of being destroyed in her home state where polls have Trump leading by double digits. I hadn’t considered that. I still expect her to stay on through SC then enthusiastically endorse Trump afterword in hopes of salvaging her bid to be his running mate.

Lemire also reported this morning that Trump was considering Elise Stefanik for his running mate so that’s another possibility. I don’t know how likely that is but apparently he was asking his staff about her. 

[Underdog 28611]

If he wants to lose he’ll pick Stefanik.  I can’t imagine anyone would be comfortable with her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency.  But this is the Trump party we’re talking about, all norms are out the window.

It would seem like it would be embarrassing for her to get her ass kicked in SC only to drop out afterwards.

Yeah, they've ignored multiple acts of treason in the form of an insurrection and documents theft, what should be illegal dealings with foreign countries while in office, the general demeanor of a toddler, promises to literally end SS and Medicare, call outs to Hitler and immigrants polluting our blood, the promise to pull entirely out of NATO, and to basically fire every permanent government employee to eliminate the Deep State, repeated racist comments, etc, but you know what picking Elise Stefanik to be the VP, THAT will be the straw that broke the camels back on this one. Right.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13510]

Can’t wait for her at the cnn townhall tonight in terms of addressing her ridiculous statement that America has never been a racist country. I assume she will treat this stupid comment like she did with the Civil War/slavery screwup. 

”I’m not saying that America hasn’t had racists or even racist laws and policies. I was saying that in their heart, good American people are not and have never been racist.”

[BamaATL 16593]

I stomached a few minutes of the town hall, and I will just say this, Haley, and her campaign have about the same amount of heat as a fresh dog turd after a few minutes during an arctic vortex.  

[Nice Guy Eddie 13510]

SIAP. What’s up with Nikki and names? I’m just reading that she disliked that her then-boyfriend-now husband’s name was Bill when she met him. His first name is William and he went by Bill. Nikki decided that his middle name Michael was a better fit, so she asked that everyone call him Michael which they did. He goes by Michael now.

to be clear, this is Nikki’s telling of the story in her book and not someone making up a story.

i can maybe understand that a girlfriend prefers to call a boyfriend William instead of Bill. Very weird to require that everyone start using his middle name too. Of course she decided to go by her less formal middle name of Nikki.

Maybe she was big into that whole porn name thing, you know, take your middle name and street, and bingo there is your stage name?  I just find it sort of hilarious someone that clearly goes by a different name for fear of societal rejection (even prior to politics) can say that there is no racism here.  Mind you, people have every right to go by what they want to go by, however, I think I'd respect it more if she leaned into it and said she changed her name for fear of not getting opportunity because of her real name.  Being dishonest about it makes it a punchline.  The joke isn't that she felt the need to do it, that part I get, it's that she is pretending that isn't why.

Just a special reminder -

Rafael Edward Cruz is okay to go by Ted
Nimrata Haley is okay to go to by Nikki

Because "Canadian Cruz" was already stitched into his jean jacket in high school.  I really don't have issue with Ted as a name.  I know a handful of Edwards who are white and go by Ted.  Happens a lot.  And folks from Asia modify their names all the time when they move to this country because a lot of people in our country are fucking assholes to people from Asia.  Beto always seemed silly to me only because my mother and her family are from Mexico, but my father is from Germany and I have an extremely sounding German name.  So I'm of the opinion to either pick your first or middle name and just go with it.  But then I see so many white folks in Texas go by shit that isn't either of their names.  When I transferred to UT, I legit thought "Tex" Moncrief was the guy's real name.  I thought like Dr. Crentist, what are the odds?  Turns out "Red" McCombs wasn't his real name either.  I knew it happened with actors and singers, but not billionaires.  

Anyway, watching Nikki grapple with this name/religion/immigrant/Indian thing while trying to pretend the Civil War was a misunderstood fraternity prank from Wofford is just amusing to me.  She's smart enough to not have walked into this shitshow, but here we are...

She'll neve be the nominee.  Precisely because of the reason you're askign about (well, and also because her last name isn't "Trump").

But in an amazingly fantastical imaginary world, in which a female brown person somehow sneaks her way into the GQP nomination.....she gets completely trounced in the general, because at least a third of the GQP voters will never, ever show up to vote for a dirty brown terrorist slut.

Oh, and I meant what I said about nobody who doesn't have the last name "Trump" having any shot at the GQP nomination in the near future.

2024: Donald Trump is a lock.

2028: if he's still alive, Donald Trump is a lock, again.  And yes, even if he wins in 2024, becasue the GQP will give zero fucks about term limits, and the SCOTUS will back them.  In the event that Donald Trump is dead by 2028....Donald Trump Jr. is a lock for the nomination.

2032: Dad Trump has to be dead by then, right?  Donald Trump Jr. is a lock for the nomination.

2036: the United States, and presidential elections, will not exist by that point, so this is a pointless exercise now.

The craziest thing about this is that it’s not believable or currently happening, but that it’s the fucking Trump family. If it was Bush or Kenedy or Clinton or shit even Koch or Murdoch or literally hundreds of other names you’d be like well they have the background and resources to pull this off. Donald trump is a fucking clown (with makeup) and the shittiest business person, he was a joke in the 90s making Pizza Hut commercials to make ends meet, the apprentice was a joke that he did for money because again, he’s a shitty actual businessman.

From the very moment she declared, I have been saying there is Ø way in heII any true Republican would ever vote for someone named Nimarata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley.

If she were to somehow win the GQP nomination, all Biden would have to do is run ads with her real / full name next to her face & 75% of the red hatted crowd would stay home.
