Nikki Haley

That's all she would be offered

 

Good news is that November is a long way off and Biden will Biden.
I like the odds, welcome to the Trump train

 

And yet it is far, far superior to enduring legislation proposed by Trump and his GOP Congress that controlled both houses for two years.

Because their legislative proposal.....didn't even exist.





It's almost as if they were just Conning people like you.

 

Even though she's rilly rilly dumb and has a bird brain?

Weird. Only the best.....




Also, can you imagine hearing that vile, adulterous POS call you something like "bird brain" and agreeing to serve his administration in any capacity whatsoever?

What a world.

 

Ted Cruz would never take such shenanigans.

 

I found a picture of Nikki Haley online....

 

Trump shut what down?
Shutdowns were mandated by the states. Thats my point. The dems wanted shutdowns at a higher degree than pubs. Right or wrong that led to inflation by your account, so taking credit for improving what they caused is sorts silly.

"Please hire me as a waiter. I sweep up all the broken glasses that I drop."

 

Hailey is a good person. I think she may see it as serving her country in SPITE of him rather than FOR him. I think Pence felt the same.

 

That would certainly be ONE WAY to rationalize working for an administration led by a person who has clearly demonstrated a total disregard for upholding their constitutional oath, if not actual criminal actions and intent.

 

As would the vast majority of Republican politicians who have presidential or vice presidential aspirations. If one is looking for politicians who would qualify for a profile in courage award today's Republican party is not the place to look for them.

Edit: I would add that there are some former and soon to former Republican politicians who have been willing to sacrifice their future in the party by deviating from the party's new orthodoxy as dictated by defeated indicted former president, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger and even Mike Pence coming to mind.

 

Lol, and the democrats are even worse

 

The difference is that Mike Pence had the courage to fulfill his constitutional duty of certifying the results of the 2020 election. He refused to cave in to the demands of the defeated and now former president. Nikki Haley on the other hand decided that if she had any future in the Republican Party she had to metaphorically genuflect to its Dear Leader.

 

Obviously just a guess, maybe half of the voters who cast their votes for Haley in the Republican primaries will vote for Trump in the general election. The remaining voters will either vote for Biden, vote third party or just stay home. It's rather obvious that if they felt strong enough regarding Trump's lack of fitness for office to cast a relatively meaningless symbolic vote a lot of them are not going to come home to the Dear Leader.

 

It was broader than that. The entire government, top to bottom, wanted shutdowns at the beginning of Covid. Here and across the globe. This wasn’t a Dem v Pub issue, it was a pandemic involving a disease that nobody knew anything about.

I keep reading the know-it-all revisionists that speak of Covid through its first 1.5 years as if it was a simple cough and sneeze. Yet I remember vividly reading the daily newspaper citing scores of daily community deaths. I remember hospitals overrun to such an extent that outdoor tents were set up, with insufficient health care providers. I remember the daily advisories as to what health care center could even accept Covid patients.

I remember mourning lost colleagues, and parents of close friends.

But 4 years have gone by, Covid is no longer the novel health risk, and the I-told-you-so numbskulls pop up to false tell us how they knew Covid was “nothing.”

 

I mean would you rather the person you described be completely unchecked or just mostly unchecked?

A couple sane voices in a room can change history. Imagine if Pence bows the knee on January 6. Talk about chaos.

No. Give me as many good people in Trumps solar system as possible.

 

I agree for the most part.

She was claiming that "trump" did it.

Liberal state governors (like mine) generally had stronger and longer shutdowns/mandates etc.

 

Hospital overruns in many places were hyperbolic. Ours claimed It. Truth was they had an almost empty floor of rooms "just in case" while other services were denied, "just in case". This was told to me by multiple people directly working there.


The revisionist skepticism is based on stories like this. It sadly led to a callousness towards the heartbreak that you describe.

 

My biggest issue with Trump during Covid was his typical bombastic point-the-finger way of handling things. The best way I can think of describing his handling it is that he was … entirely immature.

But that is who he is - a third grade bully trapped in very large suit.

Your point of the length of shutdowns is certainly well taken, and the statistics are so odd that there really was no rhyme or reason why any state did better than the next.

 

I posted here at the time that his Covid handling was my last straw. It literally put the final nail in my chance to vote for him again. He spent the rest of that year and his time since validating my decision.

 

I obviously cannot speak for NC, but I can say it was not hyperbolic down in South Florida, where I live. Not in Panama City, where my brother is a doctor. Not in Columbia,SC, where my niece was an emergency room nurse.
