      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.

        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.

        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

          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.

      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.

      Her revenge could be to run 3rd party and fuck trump in the ass with Lady Justice’s scales, but she won’t do that. She’s just another worthless republican traitor.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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

          Also, America is largely centrist, and while I hate the both sides shit as much as anyone, there are a lot of folks around these parts that are simply out of touch.

        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

    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.

      Yeah, the average Republican is way too far to the right to consider anything else but fascist. Just look at this quote from her trying to appeal to them:

      “Not one person can tell you how I wasn’t conservative,” she said to reporters on Jan. 19th. “So you can go and say that I’m moderate. Show me where I’m moderate because I’m not.”

    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.

    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.
