Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Her revenge could be to endorse Biden.

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago (4 children)

She won’t.

Trump’s campaign would be smart to entice her to be VP to win back her voters and put a woman on the ballot in an election cycle where women’s rights are on the line and people are angry.

She’ll ultimately sell out and accept the nomination for VP.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How will she overcome being bird brained?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, put the woman who had to desperately walk back her comments about IVF on the ballot to signal they care about women's rights lol.

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Becoming what she hated the most a run of the mill spineless republican.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does one become what one has always been.

Trump literally just says and does the things he thinks will make him popular. Same as any Republican elected official. Haley will rush to court the mental illness of her voters just as much as Trump will.

Sincerely being a woman she has more balls that all the rest of the GOP together but still on board with "the party" so yes dude, is all a cult of sick MFs.

As someone else said, trump has to be within 1000 big Macs of a fatal heart attack so being next in line would be a smart play for her

Haley won’t announce an endorsement Wednesday, two people told NBC News. Instead she will encourage Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republicans and independent voters who backed her, one of the sources said.

Haley will come around and endorse eventually

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Haley beat Trump in DC and VT, and exposed his weakness in the suburbs and among R-leaning indies and college educated voters. Biden and Democrats can exploit those weaknesses

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But they won't. Democrats are frustratingly centrist now.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not just now, as a Canadian, your Democrats are more right wing than half of our conservatives. Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden are like the worst of the worst on the democrat side, but that's who the party wanted

[–] just_change_it@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Haley beat Trump in DC and VT

Bastions of republican electoral votes to be sure.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Those voters wil never vote D. The best Biden can hope for is they stay home.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Least surprising news in a while. If she actually cares about the country, she'll run as an independent and give her voters the opportunity to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse without having to hold their noses and vote for Biden.

She won't, of course.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I heard that the No Labels ticket approached her to be their candidate, but she declined it. If she's trying to set up a 2028 run, then it seems that switching to an independent ticket now would be pretty damaging to that plan.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes, but if she actually cared about the country, she'd do everything in her power to stop Trump, regardless of the consequences to her career.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Sorry you weren't quite evil enough to entice the average Republican! Maybe if you MC at a few Klan rallies and stomp on a puppy or something you'll have a shot in 2028.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Makes sense, the delegate math says Trump has it locked next week.

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Instead she will encourage Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republicans and independent voters who backed her, one of the sources said.

Her campaign had a slow start, but she gained momentum after multiple strong debate performances last summer and fall.

That criticism grew more strident as the race narrowed and Haley moved into one-on-one combat with Trump on the campaign trail.

Haley told NBC last month that the former president was “diminished” and “unhinged,” explaining away her past support for Trump by bluntly saying “he is not the same person he was in 2016.”

Still, Trump's weakness among independents and non-core Republicans showed in Vermont, and Haley’s campaign for weeks had pointed to New England states as part of her path forward.

Her campaign didn't answer repeated questions in the weeks leading up to Super Tuesday about what her path to victory would look like after the biggest day of nominating contest.


The original article contains 484 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Well, she did hang out in the hopes that Trump gets thrown off the list by A14. Due to the (to put it mildly) creative reading of said amendment by SCOTUS, she has lost that gamble. I hope she manages to hurt Trump, though, by not endorsing him. If he had lost and she won, he would not have endorsed her, anyway.
