Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.

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.
- 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.

Moral and Ethical Nikki Haley after Trump offers her a job in his Cabinet: Trump is THE BEST CANDIDATE in the World!
that is, definitely one of the responses.
You think?
Aware.
Translation: No, not at all but just in case he wins I don't to be on his hit list.
This gives me hope, if people truly hate the populous figure head, then it’s not sustainable long term.
Then again, people hated Stalin…
"Well... he's A candidate"
Then why did you work for him and endorse him?
"I don't have to think. The party has already told me how to think."
The reason there is a "party system" at all is because of our voting system. It forces a two party system and if you don't listen to the parties you'll throw your vote away. If we switch to Ranked Choice Voting this wouldn't be a problem anymore and we'd be able to actually elect the most popular candidate.
But then the corporations wouldn't be able to control legislation and that just won't work (for them).
He will unleash a bunch of unhinged right-wing radicals on my kids and try to ruin my life if i don't support him, so of course i support him.
Hey Nikki? Hey, maybe that's not a good thing. Maybe that's something you shouldn't be happy about, and something you should push back against if you actually care about your party or your country.
What's that? You only care about your own skin?
Air head. Susan Rice and Samantha Power both dance circles around her in terms of foreign policy prowess.
What a nimroda 🤦♂️
Trump is the most accurate representation of conservatives in U.S. politics. This has been proven time and time again for over a decade. He accurately represents them. He is them.
That tells you more about Republican Party than about Trump
That they hate America? Yeah, I gathered that.
"Is it more important that democratic elections continue, or that your party win?"
"Well I do like being on the winning team..."
Of all of the candidates, he is one.
she already flat backed herself by endorsing the orange traitor / brain worm infected MAGA ticket. Her days in the GOP of the future are done.
If trump is elected, she will be lucky not to be in a gulag of some sort within the first six months. They'll retroactively remove birthright citizenship, including hers, and round her up with all the other undesirables.
backs his policies
Which can be summed up as "do whatever puts more money into the pockets of rich people, especially Trump himself".
Completely feckless
Party Over Country every single time
Marshawn Lynch voice: "I'm just here so I won't get lynched."
Translation: "How dare you ask me this"
Haley also told Brennan she hasn't been asked to campaign for Trump and isn't advising him or his campaign, but she remains "on standby."
and there you have it. happy to be his dishrag - pulled out and put away as needed.
No spine. Unprincipled. Glad she's not the nominee.
They’re all like this. Ted Cruz’s wife gets called ugly and Ted sucks him off. Lindsey Graham says something innocuous about Trump, Trump tells a reporter he doesn’t give a shit what Lindsey thinks. Oh shucks, well, whatever. Most republicans are reported to have talked about how bad for the country he is behind closed doors, INCLUDING TRUMP’S CURRENT RUNNING MATE, but that person is also too unprincipled to do the right thing. Even in spite of the family members he says he worries about under a Trump presidency.
Republicans simply cannot rebuke Trump anymore, because the idiots who vote for him are single issue voters now, and the single issue is whether or not the candidate is endorsed by their golden spray tanned god. Those people are deplorable. Their hate is the one thing driving their political opinions.
trump makes Dennis Reynolds actually look like a god
And Trump is… better…?
She’s an absolute dipshit, but I’d swap her out for all the Trump idiocy in a heartbeat, simply because of the potential for harm and massive amounts of stochastic terrorism that Trump inherently poses.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure she'd be a better candidate than Donald Trump. Very low bar, but still.
She would easily win against Kamala. Thank God the base is dumb enough to keep supporting Trump.
