CNN — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley plans to vote for Donald Trump, she said Wednesday in her first public remarks since exiting the Republican presidential primary more than two months ago. Haley said Trump “has not been perfect” on policies important to her, including foreign policy, immigration and the economy, but President Joe Biden “has been a catastrophe.”

“So I will be voting for Trump,” said Haley, who served as US ambassador to the United Nations under the former president. Haley’s remarks about the 2024 race came during a Q&A session following a speech at the conservative Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, where she now serves as the Walter P. Stern chair.

Haley said she has “no regrets” about her GOP primary bid: “We left it all on the field.” She also thanked the primary voters who have continued to back her even after her departure from the race — a potential warning sign for Trump. And she reiterated the call she’d made when exiting the race in March for the former president to reach out to those voters.

“Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that,” Haley said.

1. My gawd...what the FUCK is wrong with these people?

If I was one of her supporters I'd be beyond pissed right now..............

[TheBlackAdder]

48. It must have been Trump's stance on doing away with Birth Control that did it. 🤣

All of the power that she got, was just thrown away.

Perhaps he said she would be her VP pick, but knowing how Trump operates he just played her.
He could have hinted at it, and then he'll do a Lucy and snatch the ball from Charlie Brown at the last second.


What could she say to her base at that point, "Ops, just kidding?"




Trump will get revenge on her somehow.

[brush]

2. She went thru all that campaigning to the bitter end to just finally come out with that.

She amounts to nothing. Stands for nothing.

[Vinca]

3. In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.

[Ocelot II]

4. No surprise. She's still the opportunist she's always been,

and she knows she won't get a job in the Biden administration, but she might still be a long shot for a cabinet position with TFG if she grovels and repents enough. And she will, if that's what it takes.

[llmart]

58. Or she may end up like...

Mitt Romney. He groveled and Trump shoved him to the curb.

[onecaliberal]

5. In other news, water is wet. There are ZERO good recons.

This sad excuse for a woman worked for a rapist, happily. Someone should ask her why she supports a rapist to be potus?

[SamKnause]

6. And ???

Liars vote for liars.

No surprise.

So many people sucking up to gain importance in such a shitty cult.

The cult of lies and hate.

[LuvLoogie]

7. So will most people who voted for her.

She just endorsed him.

All these breathless "disaster for trump" headlines because Nikki Haley got over 10 percent in late primaries. Pffft.

She's angling for VP even now.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. I don't think that many who voted for her

which has been a consistent 12 - 20% in almost every state with a primary (and I think the last primaries are June (edit)), will move to vote for 45. Some might, but they were voting that way for a reason.

[LuvLoogie]

13. I don't know, droogie.

They're GOP voters in the 2020s.

RNSTL E

Know what I mean?

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Remember this guy?

Asa Hutchinson says he won’t endorse Trump and won’t vote for Biden

There are a bunch of them like that out there.

You know why? Because they gerrymandered their states and still control a good number of governorships and state legislatures and they have been very successful shunting stuff through the 5th Circuit Region of courts (specifically starting at the TX District Courts) to get what they want WITHOUT 45 at the top of ticket.

ETA - you also had this guy - Pence says he ‘cannot in good conscience’ endorse Trump (although he seems like a coward and might vote for him anyway, but he does represent a religious christo-fascist constituency that is not too keen on 45's dalliances).

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

27. And they knew this was a primary.

They’ll be voting for Trump in November.

As for Haley, an earlier poster was correct-she is an opportunist. She tries to come across as more reasonable than Trump but deep down, she’s just like him.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. All of them are "opportunists"

but you still have some Raygun sycophants in the party (note that a number of leftover Raygun, Poppy, and Shrub Judges have consistently ruled against a lot of 45's nonsense).

These are people who WILL vote (R) for their "row offices" (municipal/county/state) but may skip the top of the ticket, and in some cases, may even split the ticket for referendums/state offices.

We actually saw that here in PA after 2020 where a pile of (R)s actually crossed over and voted for Josh Shapiro (D) and that was during the 2022 election, so they were already breaking away even then.

[tanyev]

60. Yes. I think most of her votes after she dropped out are not pro-Haley,

they are anti-Trump. However, some of them will still hold their noses and vote for the Republican candidate in November, even if it’s Trump.

[oldsoftie]

24. The 3 Haley voters I know will not vote for trump

One told me a week ago he didnt care if Haley endorsed him or not he was done.

[LiberalFighter]

34. It will add up.

[ificandream]

45. Just recently I posted...

…
That it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump picked her for vice president. I’m wondering if this is the beginning of that.

[2naSalit]

8. Or just a polite way to...

Get people to not continue to vote for her in the primaries because it's making cheatolini look bad and showing the reality of the party split?

[colorado_ufo]

15. You may be overthinking this.

She was a dumbass at the UN and continues to be. She has never come out with one intelligent policy or original thought. I also wonder if she has some sort of eating disorder! During her campaign she kept getting thinner and thinner and was covering it up with the bulkiest sweaters she could find. Check out past videos. She was looking terrible with a stressed, angular face and thin hands.

[2naSalit]

16. I'm not giving her credit...

For the idea, I suspect she may have been instructed.

[colorado_ufo]

36. True dat.

[msongs]

9. another republican willing to abandon her moral and family values for....what exactly? Veep? nt

[Mr. Evil]

10. Yes, she's angling for the VP position.

She knows at TSF's current mental and physical state that he most likely won't last through another term (should he be elected). Therefore, she becomes president by default. She's disgusting.

[oldsoftie]

25. IMO, she's the ONE choice that would bring trouble for the Biden campaign.

People will see her as someone who would be able to take over & also someone who may be able to stop trump if he goes nuts

If he picks one of the list of whackos I've seen, it'll hurt him. She wont. And the VP matters more in this election than ever before. Its an issue whether we like it or not.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

43. "...someone who may be able to stop trump if he goes nuts.."

IF? It's a given. Also no one, not even Princess Sparkly, has been able to stop him.

He won't pick her because she will upstage him. He needs an empty vacant bland body bag like Pence McFly to stare adoringly at him while he spews and farts and death-threats.

[oldsoftie]

54. I agree; she'd get more attention & he cant handle that.

But thats what HE needs. He's just too stupid to understand it. Hopefully he picks a total sycophant and people see the pair for what they are.
He has said she's NOT the pick but politicians lie & he's an expert at lying. if she IS picked watch his umbers go up. I hope I dont get a chance to see if I'm right

[ificandream]

12. The Trumpozoids got to her.

She was threatened, I'll bet.

[angrychair]

14. Wow, her supporters must be pissed

To go through all that and say all that stuff about TSF and all her supporters voting for her even after she dropped out to then bend the knee anyway has got to be a shock to her supporters.

Personally not shocked but I am disappointed that it ended up like this. Republicans never disappoint.

[SoFlaBro]

33. Her supporters are shitty, too. Just another side of the same pissed-on fucking turd. All of MAGA are garbage humans.

[truthisfreedom]

18. And she wants the 1800s again.

Take away all women’s rights. Nice choice, Haley! But honestly, we could give a fuck what loser repukes do.

[Scalded Nun]

19. Who in the world could have seen ths coming????? Oh, yeah.

[Ray Bruns]

61. Everyone?

https://m.

[bahboo]

20. of course she is...

and how exactly has Biden been a catastrophe? I'm sure she can rattle off some facts, right? Piece of shit...

[PlutosHeart]

21. She holds similar positions to some of the

Maga so why would she not?

[Emile]

22. The power of the magic R.

[PortTack]

23. She's as sick as he is!!

[PghTiny]

26. Welp! She ate the meatloaf.

Kissed the ring. Sucked up to the orange sick f***.

[Mike Nelson]

28. Huh?

... she thinks Trump is "not perfect," but Biden "has been a catastrophe." That's odd... the only catastrophes I recall have been the last years of the GWB and Trump administrations. Haley has memory lapses.

P.S. She got something, undisclosed, for her comments about voting.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. Couple of things

1. How much of her campaign money is she giving to TSF if he makes her his running mate?

2. She must believe he's going to ask her to be his running mate. And she also must believe that he's going to drop dead and it's the quickest route to the WH.

[J_William_Ryan]

30. Haley hates America.

It comes as no surprise.

[SoFlaBro]

32. All GQP and MAGA lowlifes are turds. Stop trying to polish these fucking turds. Piss on the whole pile of them.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

35. Oh pleeeze pick me for veep, mr president, sir. nt

[AZ8theist]

37. CAN YOU SPELL "SPINELESS"??????????

[Deminpenn]

38. Just heard Mark Leibowitz

say on Alex Wagner Tonight that Haley calling Biden a "catastrophe" is somehow going to sink Biden's campaign. Really?

[Martin68]

39. So Haley is a true believer. Too bad. She almost seemed normal.

[DENVERPOPS]

40. Of course she is.

Is anyone surprised ??????????????

[RussBLib]

41. Jeez

...to quote Costello.

Give it up, Nikki, you will never be president. I don't expect all those voters who were voting for Nikki after she dropped out are now going to reflexively support for Trump. But I've been wrong before.

The only answer is to crush them at the ballot box.

https://russblib.blogspot.com

[FakeNoose]

42. Also she'll never be vice-president

Even if Chump picks her as his running mate - and he won't.
Chump is doomed and anyone who runs with him is toast too.

I can't wait until the Repuke Party destroys itself. I wish it would hurry up and do it this year.

[LisaM]

44. I think she's hedging in case he has to drop out.

She doesn't care about him. She wants to hang on to his voters.

[ramapo]

46. Next up ...Chris Christie

I am so sick of it all.

[Xipe Totec]

47. Myyyy... Precioussssss..... nt

[Turbineguy]

49. Trump was right then.

She really is a bird brain.

[Old Crank]

50. Republican morals

On full display.

Nothing to see.

[XorXor]

51. Disappointing.

I guess I need to stop being so naive in thinking people are better than they are.

[raccoon]

52. So...who gives a shit, Nikki Wikki, I mean Nimrata.

[2naSalit]

53. I suspect...

That a lot of these hacks are SAYING they will vote for the orange anus but I think they won't actually do that.

[tavernier]

55. Of course he will pick her as VP, and immediately replace her

on his first day as dictator. Does anyone think he won’t be able to do whatever he likes? That is why they want him.
Nikki, Nikki, that you don’t realize you will be in the trash can like yesterday’s bad fish, shows how dumb and naive you are. He can promise you anything. He’s done that to women all his life.

[poozwah]

56. on schedule

as predicted by many, haley’s vomit has reappeared.

[myohmy2]

57. good...

...that takes her and her appeal out of the anti-trump camp and puts her squarely in the magat camp...

...trump ain't going to be around for ever and she was well positioned to pick up the pieces after he was gone...

...bye bye nikki, have a good day...

[Javaman]

59. she really never had any spine.

she like to pretend that she did but, in reality, she is just another right wing sociopath opportunist.

she has always enjoyed playing "both sides" of the repuke coin, but then only reveal later that she was always in the bag for whomever pays the most.

[Shrek]

62. Didn't she pledge to support the eventual nominee?

Is this a surprise?

[berksdem]

63. This is truly shocking!

[Gamecock Lefty]

64. Spineless Cowards They ALL Are!

I know exactly why she's endorsing him.

She wants him to stop making fun of her name.

All of them - soulless black holes.

[Upthevibe]

65. BumRushDaShow..........

I'm shocked! Shocked...

[Marthe48]

66. haley looks like the Martian woman in Mars Attack

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MartianVFX.jpg

[Paladin]

67. What a gutless wonder. (nt)

[Hotler]

68. Don't forget, the end game for these rat fuckers is religious rule by Christian dominionist, our Taliban.

We're not pushing back on the religious Right enough. America needs to know there are bad Christians out there trying to control of every part of our life.

[Emile]

69. So her message is, she is voting for a convicted felon.

and she a approves this message. 👌
