Well there goes my assumption about her strategy. I thought she was positioning herself as the person who would not kiss the ring if Trump should lose, as the “obvious” choice to lead the party that feels they need to throw trumpism under the bus.
Now, it seems pointless, she had both appeared too anti Trump and also ultimately just another Trump adherent. Seems to be a good way to alienate both sides of the Trump phenomenon.
Nikki Haley is very much like Donald Trump: She only does anything because she thinks it will benefit herself.
She’ll risk trashing American democracy if it means she has a shot at being the next president to do it some more.
Typical republican traitor.
Exactly what I expected. God forbid you have a backbone and stand up against a criminal.
Spineless, utterly fucking Spineless.
traitors usually are
I’ll say it again, a WOMAN of COLOR being a republican has to be the biggest class traitor of all time.
TIL that she’s Indian-American. I always just assumed she was white and had slightly tanned skin.
Well, just goes to show that you don’t need to be white to be a total piece of shit. (Though it sometimes helps.)
The caste system is still a thing in India. Isn’t it just slavery with a different name?

Lol I really hope this isn’t some revelation to you.

Did you forget about Ajit Pai?
He is a good example that pieces of shit come in all different colors and shapes.
There’s a number of rightwing indian Americans in the US and it honestly gives me secondhand embarrassment as a fellow brown person.
I live in Seattle and met a few Indian dudes at a networking event the other month who were both enthusiastically discussing a move to Texas where housing and taxes were really low. I’m white and from the south originally, I did my damnedest to warn them but they looked at me like was crazy.
I could be wrong, but I think it’s because Indians who’ve immigrated to the US are disproportionately upper-caste ones.
Judging by Modi’s electoral success there are a lot of rightwing Indians in India as well. Just goes to show that conservatism can take many forms and doesn’t have to adhere to any (specific) racial bounds.
Either way, I feel for you.
At its core, conservatism is all about preserving hierarchies. When you think about that and India’s history of its caste system, it’s understandable they’d be particularly susceptible to the ideology.
That’s because racism, religion, etc. are tools conservatives use to get rubes to vote against their economic interests. For the people in power, it’s only about power and money. They couldn’t give two fucks about culture wars, abortion, immigration, or anything else outside of riling up and distracting poor people so they fight each other and not them. Some tools work best in the US and different tools are needed in India. You just need the right tool for the job.
Preach on. It’s all about messing up the class consciousness of the working class, using whatever tool is right for the job.
i agree with that but pretty sure she is trying to pretend to be white.
Normally I wouldn’t care, but when someone goes out of their way to do so it’s hard not to.
She changed her name.
For the same reason Ron DeSantis wears those weird shoes.
What about Log Cabin Republicans?
What’s that?
Those are the gay Republicans. IIRC during the last midterms they got refused entry to CPAC for being gay.
Oh wow I didn’t know that … I guess only thing worse would be a gay, colored woman, Republican.
Gay colored muslim trans woman.
Haha true! Can we go deeper?
Accomplished, educated, special needs.

Pathetic
Spineless bitch. Just like the rest of them.
To quote 21 Savage on his song “Running”:
“Pussy. Pussy! Pussy!”
What a complete and total coward. She did do one good though – she showed that a sizable number of Republicans aren’t happy with Trump, and could be up for grabs in November or just might not vote at all.
Most Republicans who oppose Trump are cowards.
They will defend Trump, vote for him, and be happy about it.
That’s one thing I like about Trump: the contempt he has for the GOP party.
Jan. 12, 2021: In an interview with Politico, Haley said of Trump, “We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Hey now, she didn’t lie. She’s not letting it happen again.
She’s making it happen again.
Being a Republican
Having real convictions
Pick one, because I haven’t seen the ability to do both.
For her sake, I hope she negotiated a cabinet position before jumping back on the trump train.
Because of course she will. Republicans are vampires.
They all fall in line behind Don Poorleone.
Don Poorleone.
I like. 😁
They are NOT in a Cult!
No shit. Did anyone have any doubt she wouldn’t? So much for Biden “picking up the Haley voters”
Nope. Just like all republican politicians, I expect them to fall in line behind Donald. Never expected anything else no matter what they said.
