Looks like he’s gaining on AOC in the stupid race.

So you’re the one giving Trump the super grown up nicknames?

Giving? Selling! A fella has to make a living, AtHeist_Factor.
Ok, that wasn’t my best. Give me some time.
I would say the clickbait headline is more stupid than anything Beto said, but I guess most people only really read headlines nowadays.

It was a big war. Very big war. A long time ago. In America. Americans against Americans. My people told me that. They are very smart people and they told me it was Americans against Ameri (pause) cans. Who would have thought of that? I’m telling you, it was bad. Really bad. Sad that Ameri-ca (stress the last syllable and exhale ) had to go through that. Very sad. And now Hillary (pause) and the Democrats want another war. So that we can lose. Because it’s America (?). (crowd erupts in cheers and starts chanting “lock her up”)

Yep, sounds right. Uncanny, actually.

Brought to you by the same people that call taxation slavery. Go figure.
I sure hope that 1) Haley is laying low for 2024 and is keeping herself out of the current shit-show for a reason and 2) she doesn’t have some huge skeleton in her closet.
It may sound bad…but I just may Vote for no one in 2020 if what I am left with are 1) Trump and 2) What is working out to be a “March Madness Bracket” of DEMS that I have zero enthusiasm for.
Also (and sadly) you are probably right…and person with enough pull to raise money and survive an election probably has more shit covering them than a pig Framer.

In fairness, that’s mostly due to the 6 gins he has at lunch.

(From March, 2019-Washington Examiner):
“Republican Nikki Haley is meticulously laying the foundation for a presidential bid in 2024, forming a nonprofit organization to sustain her political-rock-star profile while she builds a financial nest egg so her family can afford her political ambitions”.
“Party insiders keeping tabs on Haley say the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations wouldn’t challenge her old boss, President Trump, in the 2020 primary. But the dynamic ex-South Carolina governor, just 47, is expected to mount a campaign four years later. With a coterie of advisers, Haley is choosing each step to maximize her notoriety and chart a course to the White House”.
“Amid quiet maneuvering, Haley’s immediate priority is making money. Neither Haley nor her husband are wealthy. With two children now of college age, Republicans familiar with Haley’s planning say her desire to put family first is a practical necessity, not a cliche”.
It may all turn out to be a dud…who knows…but my mind is moving further and further away from what is working out to be the circus shit-show of 2020.
Are people amongst the right thinking this is likely? I feel like she graciously bowed out of the Trump admin and vanished into the night.
What’s she doing for work now? Is she from money to be able to just bench her salary for 5 years?
Edit: shoulda scrolled. I see it
What would you be enthusiastic about as an independent?
What does the person who earns your vote prioritize and push for (theoretically).
The Daily Wire? Clickbait millennial “journalism” that is the definition of fake news. Beto did not compare the electoral college to slavery. Do you even read the articles you post here?
She is in High Demand to speak.
Her Husband is an officer in the South Carolina National Guard.
In terms of what I’m looking for in a candidate?
-
Some sense of at least a little sanity.
-
Some idea of how our Republic Functions and of the Constitution
-
Evidence that they can work in bi-partisan ways. (Haley is a female Sikh elected twice in freakin’ South Carolina. She knows how get a consensus among diverse views).
-
Proven themselves on the World Stage among World Leaders; who also believes in strong alliances.
-
Doesn’t appear to have a trail of dead bodies, criminal ties, shady (at best) business dealings, racism, sexism, Porn Stars, creepy tendencies, and/or socialist AND/OR fascist leanings.
-
Again; some sense of at least a little sanity.
(Being our first Female President would also be a plus for me, and I think the Nation…)
(That’s my starting list, @pfury…)

You genuinely don’t get that from a single Dem candidate?
I think if she wanted this she’d need to wait until 2028 and challenge the Dem at the time.
If Trump wins reelection like you think, I can’t imagine a world where a woman is able to draw Trump’s base. A base that has become a cornerstone of the republican party. She might as well be Muslim.
I did like this about her. She always had a sense of class as well.
I wouldn’t mind her as the first female POTUS. Obviously don’t have her views on everything flushed out, but she seems pretty good
I do get some sanity, @pfury…but as a whole, the Party is getting pulled far too Left for me.
Geez…these days, Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi are the voices of reason…

She came to Biden’s defense today. He’s not a creeper at all.
One other thing, @pfury…
I don’t have a single “Litmus Test” that would completely eliminate a candidate for me.
To each his own…but I personally don’t have one.
For me it’s more a “composite” of the candidate.

If they could not get behind a candidate like Haley (and I am not saying you are wrong…)
They are bigger dumbasses than I thought…
Right. And that’s what I’m asking you. Not a list of concepts like sanity and presence.
What positions on what key topics signify to you the above things.
Well think about it. She can run anti institution, shes a professional pol. She left Trump because she couldn’t hack it. She’s starting a nonprofit to retain political power while she doesn’t hold office? (Straight up HRC ripoff?)
There’s very little about her that coincides with what Trump’s base sees in him. Maybe he could endorse her and that’s all it would take, but it doesn’t seem likely.

This is important. All the members of Team Trump who are behind bars or headed behind bars are going to need work at some point.
