The former U.N. ambassador has been focusing in on Trump, his legal trouble and the potential general election consequences.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called on Republican National Committee members to hold an on-the-record vote on a draft resolution that would curb the national party’s ability to direct its funds toward legal fees, including former President Donald Trump’s.
“All Americans, and Republicans especially, deserve a vote on the record on that resolution,” Haley said while campaigning here. “We deserve to know how the RNC is going to spend their money and if it’s going to go towards legal fees.”
If Biden seriously made that offer in b) I would be very strongly tempted to stay home on election day.
People keep lying to themselves and trying to believe that Trump is the problem and that he’s not just the most visible symptom of a Republican party that crossed the line way back in the 1960s when they started campaigning to get the KKK’s votes and undermining our foreign policy/national security for political wins. Haley, Romney, Cheney, etc. - they are all threats to the country as is anyone who collaborate with any of them.
Maybe it’s soft handed liberalism? Too close an examination of the body-politic would make people actually look at themselves and the circles they run with? It might cost you some friends at social events?
It’s not just Trump, though he is the iconoclast. Just like LBJ and Reagan before, a popular(ist) leader will transform the party and nation by shifting the Overton Window of what is ‘normal and accepted’ in the political arena.
Good for you. I know people whose very wealthy California family has been deeply connected to the Clinton apparatus for decades, and who are dyed-in-the-wool third way Democrats, and they have said they’d seriously consider Haley over Biden. It’s amazing what kind of diverse people you encounter outside of social media echo chambers.
Oh I’m sure they exist, there’s a lot of selfish scumbags in this country unfortunately. Thank goodness they only get one vote no matter how much money they hoard.
Gosh, I can’t for the life of me figure out why progressives have such a hard time winning friends and influencing people…
I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’d want to be friends with scumbags. If we had a democracy in this country we wouldn’t have to give a shit what rich weirdos who live vastly different lives than most of us think.
You keep using that word. I do not think you know what that word means.
Democracy without any campaign finance laws is like capitalism without progressive taxation and antitrust laws, feudalism with extra steps
