I didn’t create the thread but if you go through it people talk about signs she may run. I have no idea if she will or not.
My post was in reply to someone else’s post about her playing with the evangelical vote. You’re mad that I didn’t stick to just talking about her is fine. But we had people communicate in Spanish for 5 straight posts and nothing.
Have you checked your own posts in this thread? You essentially haven’t said anything about the topic at hand. You’ve done what most people in PWI do which is respond as the conversations shift. I’m totally fine with that since essentially everyone does it. But why call for everyone to discuss Haley and stay on topic in a thread that you haven’t done that?
The fact the headline mentions infanticide tells me it’s not journalism but propaganda by morons, for morons.
The actual things that are happening are being misrepresented by people like Jill Stanek because she is a weirdo with an agenda. The hospital where she worked, btw, never performed an elective abortion. Religious people are just nonsensical. It’s ok to keep someone alive in a vegetative state, hooked up to a machine, instead of letting nature take its course. Whatever happened to the will of God?
@doogie mentioned Nikki Haley in another thread; so I thought I would bump this.
Her site and e-mails have taken on a much less “Trump Lite” tone. Perhaps I was not the only one who e-mailed her and felt that the “Left Wrong!/Right RIGHT!” rhetoric and links to questionable right-wing sites was not something many Americans (myself included) needed coming for her right now.
No…she is FAR from being a Leftist; but after Trump I hope Conservatives don’t label her a RHINO (or worse) and don’t support her should she decide to run. (Again…we can hope, right?)
Her publicly leaving Boeing during its greatest time of need in the past 2 decades left a bad taste in my mouth. It seemed like a move meant purely to preserve her reputation so it couldn’t be tied to business failure and be used against her in subsequent campaigns. But, that meant abandoning american workers and one of the companies that defines america.
Instead of working her ass off to secure private funding to keep Boeing solvent, she bailed at the first hint they would consider a govt bailout. This was done as either a political stunt meant to publicly show she didnt support government bailouts, or because she didnt want her reputation tarnished by being associated with a failing behemoth. No matter, she wasnt needed there - Boeing secured private funding and declined any government bailout… no thanks to her at all.
That said, her actions are not a deal killer for me. Ill be interested to see what she brings to the table in 2024.
When one actually becomes a candidate is when all kinds of things start coming out of the woodwork, often taking some of the “shine” off.
Compared to the crap we’ve had to deal with the past almost 4 years (and most likely four more)…I’m okay with her making politically-based moves here and there.
Yep, id count the Boeing deal as more of missed opportunity than a BIG negative. All she had to do was sit on the damn board for another few months and she could have taken credit for rallying private funding, saying no to government bailouts, and sticking with the american worker through the thin times.
I really don’t have a clear handle on the balance in the Senate nor which seats will be most contested in 2020 (Some would would say I don’t have a good handle on the Presidential Election either!)
SHOULD Haley choose to run in 2024 (she sure is taking all of the pre-requisite steps); after 8 years of Trump she will have one helluva’ tight-rope to walk…namely continue to broaden what appears AT THIS POINT to be a fair level of bi-partisan support (especially with independents) while not alienating the hard-core Trumpubilcans. (Keeping in mind that once in the fray of being in a true election and becoming a true candidate, everything can change).
Also in 4 years some Conservative Fire Brand could come forward and completely upend this whole discussion.
While everything I am writing at this point is pure speculation, I do think it still warrants discussion.
He isn’t seasoned enough, and I wish he had more non legal experience, but l like Josh Hawley - calm, intelligent, conservative.
Off topic, but sometimes men come forward to give steadiness in turmoil. I have felt this about Grassley. Not familiar with him until Kavanaugh hearings.
