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.
@MistyCee She would have to suck up to Trump's base. She needs those votes. Which totally negates any credibility she has.
@Pitchblue Yup, but Trump sympathizers aren't going to disappear, and I'd still rather have someone who talks like Haley trying to get their votes than someone who embraces Trumpist "principles" like dishonesty and lack of respect for other human beings as their prime appeal.

Don't be so sure.
The concept of identifying Trump supporters and punishing them is gaining traction. I fully expect to be arrested for treason any day now.
@Budwick I really hope it doesnt come to that, at least without due process.

As I just posted in another reply, I think the best way forward is through the legal system.

McConnell's judges should be as sympathetic as is possible given the nature of the conduct that might be charged, and Garland was a damned good choice for AG, imo, compared to some of the other prospects.

Also, its sedition, rather than treason I'd be worried about, and I'm really hoping that any prosecutions for that are limited.

@Budwick Maybe you shouldn't have supported a traitor. Just saying.

@OggggO I NEVER had a positive thing to say about Obama.

@Budwick You didn't just swing and miss, you smacked yourself in the face with the bat just now.

Sure, but it still smells like a rat leaving a sinking ship. @MistyCee

@QuietChaos Haley took a lifeboat a long time ago.

She claims to have criticized him over Charlottesville. Anything to it? @MistyCee
@QuietChaos I think she did, but I'm not sure. There's been so much revisionist history, spin and misinformation over the last few years.

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.

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