Republicans almost never fail to fall in line for their party. This is probably why the party is so politically effective. I wonder if it has something to do with their worldview and belief in hierarchy. Or, maybe they just don't want to be exiled and unable to continue their grifts.
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.
You're going to have to do more than that, Nikki, if you want Trump's endorsement—a lot more.
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.
I'm wondering how much did it cost to change her opinion. When she suspended her campaign she had such a beautiful speech about holding values and doing what's right.
Edit: this is a reminder that all Republicans are corrupted to the core and vote for any is not much better than voting for trump. She didn't have to endorse Biden, but kissing up to trump makes her pathetic especially after her speech. A good president supposed to have some kind of principals.
At times you don't have to pay Republican whores much.
(and before anyone cites me as being misogynist, Haley isn't half the two-bit whore that Graham or McConnell are)
Also Barr.
What a spineless cunt.
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.
Pathetic
I’ll be honest, I fell for it. I thought I had my naivete under control, but man she was convincing to me.
I really didn’t think she would endorse him. Didn’t think she’d endorse Biden either, let’s not be ridiculous. But still. I’m embarrassed that I’m disappointed in her.
They are so in their bubble and wrapped up in their tribalism that the very idea of voting Democratic is just so anathema to them. Even if the alternative means the end of the United States.
She's a Repub.
She obviously wants her political career to continue. I wouldn't trust her if she switched sides and if she didn't endorse Trump she'd probably get canceled.
Yes, it'd be a case of actual cancellation. Not the kind that the repub party whines about constantly.
Her extreme policy positions should have given it away. But it's a shame they've all rallied behind the wannabe dictator nevertheless.
Don't be embarrassed that you thought better of someone. That's their failure, not yours.
We hope for people to be better, don’t we.
Spineless bitch. Just like the rest of them.
