Nikki Haley announces White House bid

IMO , a terrific candidate with very very little chance obviously because of Trump and DeSantis in the field

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/14/politics/nikki-haley-2024-announcement/index.html

Haley served as US ambassador to the United Nations under Trump. The former president, who announced his bid last year, recently appeared to bless her entrance into the race, telling reporters that she had called to tell him she was considering a campaign launch and that he had said, “You should do it.”

A waste of her time. Fringe candidate at best.

VP bid?

That occurred to me. Only thing that makes much sense.

She’s a pawn to help keep Trump in the lead. :wink:

Never say never. Who knows how the Republican base will react to her.

I think she could give both DeSantis and Trump a run for their money.

First woman VP!

She is an accountant and small business person who helped turn the small clothing store/gift shop founded by her mother (a Desert Storm vet, turned teacher, turned entrepreneur) into a multimillion dollar enterprise.

She is much better qualified than the endless array of political activists/lawyers who seem to run everything today.

I have long thought that Haley was going to be our first female president. It may still happen, but not in 2024.

I view Haley like McCarthy , a political weasel. I don’t think she’ll do well in the primary against Trump let alone DeSantis and Trump but I thought the Eagles would win so whatever.

I like her. I think she was excellent at the UN.

If Trump has health issues and Desantis defers running I could vote for her.

If it were Nikki Haley v Kamala Harris then no amount of ballot stuffing would help the Dem.

Pretty much, everyone not named Trump or DeSantis should drop out or the orange man returns.

Three options- Noem, Greene and Haley. I would far prefer Haley as VP than the other two.

The Marjorie Taylor one ?

MTG? She has no chance of being VP. Any ticket with her on it is doomed to failure. Just like Kari Lake has no chance of being on a ticket as VP.

I’m fine with my own country being placed first for a change. :wink:

Desert Storm vets have kids old enough to run for President?

Sheesh, makes me feel old.

When Trump loses either the nomination or the general election hopefully that will be the last we see of him.

I also do not want to see Biden run again.

What is this country’s current obsession with having old men run this country.

Trump can win.

I have no idea but it’s depressing.

On a personal level I’m done voting for dinosaurs.

My requirement is that they must have been born after the Vietnam War. So after 1973.

Desantis has some flaws, but he’s ultimately who I’m thinking about supporting in the primaries.
