Nikki Haley sounds like the future of the Republican Party

The trouble for Haley et al who are no openly criticising Trump is twofold:

1) Why didn't they do it before? They could seem to be opportunists preparing the ground for their own plans to run next time.

2) Much of the country has bought into the Deep State conspiracy and lies of a 'stolen' election. A rational Republican Party of the more traditional kind (non-Tea Party) will be trying to appeal to an irrational, cultish portion of the electorate.

@Frank52 How did that work in Georgia for them?

@tring2222 It was a close call. If the Republicans split Traditional vs Loopy (Trumpist) the Democrats will have a clear run for the foreseeable. Whether that's good or bad depends on where you stand.

She's done a great job of setting herself up as a sane Republican candidate.

I don't know if it will work, but I'm really happy about not having a major party devoted almost entirely towards antisocial principles, and Haley running sounds good to me.

I will of course be supporting Biden.

If Biden chooses to serve only one term, I'll keep on open mind on Harris. But would like to see Jeb make another run.

@beckyromero I would probably have voted for Jeb myself last time around. We'll see what choices we get.

@MistyCee

Jeb had the best debate line of 2016. Ranks up there with "You're no Jack Kennedy" and "Will you shut up man?"

You know there is nothing constitutionally preventing Trump from running again in the next election.. There is an 8 year limit.. Trump has only served 4..

tring2222 · 26-30, F

@Adstar That is correct, but when you are in jail you cannot run.

Adstar · 56-60, M

@tring2222 Well i don't think Trump will be going to jail.. But again technically you are correct.. If Trump goes to jail he will be disqualified from running..

@Adstar He released that video because of what the D.C. Federal prosecutor said I believe.

She was a cheerleader for Trump.
