Nikki Haley's complete ignorance of her own party is why Trump is the last candidate standing
[NY Post] In truth, Haley’s not wrong that the party has changed.But she doesn’t seem to understand why it had to change. It would help if she at least recognized that radical leftists now control the Dems’ agenda and that a collegial GOP approach is doomed to fail. Like the media, Haley yearns for the days when the GOP was genteel, united — and comfortable with losing. Enter Trump, and whatever anyone wants to say of him, most of which is true, his GOP is no longer comfortable with losing. He survived the spying of the FBI and CIA, defeated Hillary Clinton and is again under relentless attack from Dem media and prosecutors. He has somehow survived it all and that is why he’s going to be the party’s presidential nominee for the third consecutive time. And don’t forget that his policy record is far superior to President Biden’s, especially on the border and economy. Trump’s ace, of course, is that his supporters see in him a defender and street fighter they never had in Mitt Romney, John McCain or either of the Bushes. And Haley, despite her racial background and pioneering efforts to break the party’s glass ceiling, more resembles the GOP nominees of yesteryear than Trump. Her temperament and policies are why many Trump supporters call her a RINO — a Republican in name only. That’s the ultimate insult, reserved for those who are willing to compromise with Democrats on the assumption the favor will be returned. Anyone who believes such give-and-take Dems still exist isn’t paying attention. Posted by: Frank G 2024-03-03 |
