Off the deep end
Neocon Nikki Strangelove has finally lost what little of whatever it she ever had. One might say
there's no it there. I can honestly say I never
bought her act for a minute. OK, maybe a minute or two. Picked by the Republican establishment in South Carolina because of her sex and ethnicity as
Republicans never can seem to figure out they
can't out-diversify the enemy.
Even had she been the correct type of black instead of Ethiopian and not a Jew the locals would have voted for a white guy of either party instead of her. Who are
the racists here? They elected Santos so...
So Haley was handily elected governor of South Carolina because of the Republican-dominated electorate. In such states Republicans automagically check the R box
regardless of the name, and often knowing little or nothing about the candidate. Sadly not as reliably as dims but it works in the red states. As governor
she was unspectacular and was selected by Trump for the UN ambassador on the advice of what proved to be mostly some pretty bad advisers. A presidential appointment
to any significant position is an opening to the big leagues.
Since Trump was removed in the 2020 coup she had no political sugar daddy and decided to for the big prize. Whether she was sufficiently delusional at the time to
believe she could to it I dunno. She very likely believed that with the right people and money behind her she could.
She was probably reasonably attractive twenty years ago but that's gone. Her speech has always been at best subpar for politics, say college kid level. I'm
reminded of high school student council speeches when I hear her. More recently she reminds me of
Shrillary . She is on the edge of shrill if not over it,
and the enunciation - as speaking to children - is similar.
Given my assessment of her intellect (somewhere near dead average) she may or man not believe she can be at least nominated in 2028, assuming she actually realizes her
chances for being Trump's VP pick or having some role in a Trump administration is in negative territory. Not that it will matter who the Republican candidate
in 2028 is. If there is an election. If Trump is successfully blocked again the Republic is over, and whether or not the regime allows elections is up to
them. My guess is they won't.
In any case she has made her bones with the establishment and will be financially secure. Corporate board seats, university positions, commentator on the state-run
media outlets, the lecture circuit - political failure can be quite lucrative. And for sure there'll be a
Dollar Tree best-seller or two.
