Showing Original Post only (View all)A warning about Nikki Haley [View all]
There are several threads currently about Haley, with excerpts from her recent book. As a SC activist who watched her career for years, you better be very concerned about her.
If you think Trump is bad, think of an attractive Trump with impulse control and political savvy. She is just as far right as the Trumpers but can mask it and present it as a legitimate political stance. Being of Indian heritage, she gets a pass on the racist label while still dog-whistling the rednecks and Nazis.
I saw her do it in SC and she has plans to do it in the national stage.

She's one of the reasons I think Biden needs to expand his main argument beyond "I can beat Trump"

Yes, and if we don't have a woman somewhere on the ticket, we are ceding a good chunk

They didn't run Nikki Haley out of office. She left her position in Trump's good graces

I kind of figured that, from the company she keeps, but it's good to have first-hand observations...
