  I didn't know this garbage human managed to become a governor at one point.  Those people are idiots.
context: Allow me to share with everyone how this will go down. 
  She will run. 
  Trump will make several disparaging comments about her. Some will be sexiest. Some will be right out racist about her background and culture. 
  She will call him out on his lies and other crimes. 
  She will lose the vote. 
  Suddenly she will be on FoxNews stating how Trump is the greatest and he will save America. >
  
  After she loses the vote the next step will be accepting a spot as Trump or DeSantis’s VP and running for president again in 4-8 years. >
  
  If Nikki runs then Trump is the nominee. The only way Desantis beats Trump is if he's the only non-Trump candidate, but as soon as you add Haley and others, the NeverTrump voter pool dilutes and Trump's victory becomes all but guaranteed. >
  
  2016 redux >
  
  With a different ending in November, >
  
  You have far, far to much faith in the public. >
  
  The plop thickens >
  
  Another turd in the GOP bowl. >
  
  time to play "guess Trump's primary nickname" Ill start us off.
  Nikki "too ugly to rape" Haley >
  
  How great would it be if she started calling him "old man" Trump before he had a chance to make up a nick name for her. >
  
  Dementia Donald >
  
  Dementia has too many syllables for trump’s supporters to know what it means >
  
  Dumbass Donald? >
  
  Diaper Donald has the alliteration and the bonus of being accurate. >
  
  She's angling for Veep >
  
  no one ever WANTS to be vice president >
  
  Cheney did. >
  
  He wanted to be president, but that just wasn't going to happen, so he took second best. >
  
  He knew that being VP to an easily manipulated moron with brain damage was even better. >
  
  Cheney very, very, very much wanted to be president. He was angling for it from a young age, not just for the power, but for ideological reasons. 
  Being VP to Bush worked out very well for him, but given the choice, he would have taken President over Vice President in a heartbeat. >
  
  What's going to be her nickname ? >
  
  Her real name, Nimrata.  It's got a good syllable pattern for trump and he can ask what else she is hiding besides her real name.
  Nim + rata.
  He can likely even get a Nimroda out of it.
  After being trashed constantly by him in the primary, she will happily be his VP too.  Yay for women. /s >
  
  Her real name is also Nikki.
  "Haley was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa to immigrant Indian Punjabi Sikh parents at Bamberg County Hospital in Bamberg, South Carolina." >
  
  That is nice, but why would that change anything for trump?
  Don't think like a liberal when trying to understand trump. >
  
  Trump made Nikki Halley the UN Ambassador.  And she did a great job. >
  
  She did a terrible job. She supported the awful resolution to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, assuring that there will never be peace in the middle east.
  She had to resign because she was so awful at it. >
  
  
  She resigned because she wanted to take some time off and work in the private sector.
  
  That's what they always say - that or "to spend time with my family."
  They aren't going to say "I'm resigning because I suck at my job." >
  
  I hope she is prepared to endure unimaginable misogynistic assaults from MAGA nation. >
  
  Just wait till they find out her real name… >
  
  Nikki is her birth name.
  "Haley was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa to immigrant Indian Punjabi Sikh parents at Bamberg County Hospital in Bamberg, South Carolina." >
  
  So Trump will call her an "Anchor Baby". >
  
  No.  He called her UN Ambassador. >
  
  Will. As in the future. He will call her that. >
  
  I doubt it. >
  
  Ok, you know the future better than me. >
  
  I think in the future Trump will call her Vice President. >
  
  Wishful thinking. He has figure other things first and its a long road. Probable indictments coming from Fani Willis , fading popularity, reorganization, DeSantis, his health (age) and Special Prosecutor Jack Smith are just 6 of the top things I can think of that could get in the way of your wishes. >
  
  Because Republicans love women in positions of power, I'm sure that will go well for her >
  
  Haley isn't a women, she isn't even human.  She is a vacant shell of a human  who shills for Russia and spends her evenings on Fox News lying about the state of the world. >
  
  Let's not dehumanize people, that's not helpful. Call her what she is - a shitty person. >
  
  "A shitty person" isn't dehumanizing?  LoL.
  Haley's made a career out of dehumanizing people. >
  
  No, it's a qualitative assessment that still acknowledges her as a person. 
  Two wrongs don't make a right. >
  
  I understand what you’re saying but I don’t like what you’re saying. I’m going to also double down on Haley being “a vacant shell of a human.” 
  I mean… “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, shame on your vacant shell of a human.” I genuinely find it difficult to accept your “two wrong don’t make it right” passiveness, especially when every Republican wrong is actively being rammed down our throats as a right. Guns are wrong, but it’s “my right” to own them. Preventing affordable health care is wrong, but it’s “my right” to do so. Racism is wrong, but it’s “my right” to treat you with contempt because of the color of your skin. Housing for profit is wrong, but it’s “my right” to upcharge you. Anti LGBTQ+ legislation is wrong, but it’s “my right” to impose “my religious values” on you. 
  Enough is enough and it’s time to call it as it is, period >
  
  Can’t wait for trump to call her the most vile, racist and sexist things his chimp brain can come up with only for Haley to then throw her support behind him when he wins the primaries. >
  
  The same Nikki Haley who, about a year and a half ago, said she won’t run for President if Trump does?
  If I didn’t know better, I’d say these MAGA people believe in nothing, hold no convictions, and are just grifting their sheep. 🤔 >
  
  I don’t think she is really running against Trump here. This is all about positioning herself for a VP nomination. She will never get more than like 5% in the Iowa caucuses and she isn’t even polling well in her home state of South Carolina. This is just a political move to attempt to get on one of Trump or DeSantis’s tickets >
  
  For publicity and $ only. She has no chance and she knows it >
  
  Damn, Russia is going to have a lot of candidates in this next election!
  Haley has spent the last year going on fox news and lying about the situation in Ukraine, spouting Russian propaganda talking points. >
  
  She bent the knee to Trump when she was his UN ambassador. She's no better IMO. >
  
  And he'll remind everyone about this ad nauseum. >
  
  Here’s a verbal award 🥇 to show appreciation for this sentence. >
  
  In other news, popcorn reserves are expected to dwindle later this year. >
  
  Biden should release 50,000,000 tons of dried kernels from the national popcorn supply silos along with 5,000,000 pounds from the butter reserves).     
  Maybe to be on the safe side, it's time for the government  to pump out   at least 3,000,000 of liquid caramel from the nation's strategic supply. >
  
  3,000,000 liquid caramel coming your way >
  
  Female And slightly ethnic looking?  She doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning has she met a Republican lately?! 🤨🤯
  They’re all racist and sexist these days, cmon now. >
  
  Pretty sure she's running to be Trump's running mate / VP >
  
  Is career suïcide. The stench of Trump would hang on her >
  
  
  suicide
  
  He tried to kill his last one >
  
  Will this woman, who claims systemic racism is over in America, run under her birth name? >
  
  Why doesn’t she use her real name: Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley? >
  
  This is like conservatives strenuously pointing out that Obama’s middle name is “Hussein” or Trump calling Jon Stewart “Jon Leibovitz.” I know you think you’re pointing out racism, but you’re just reaffirming it. >
  
  I forgot the /s. Kinda figured it was implied, but ok. Will include it from now on for those who don’t get it. >
  
  What’s the joke? >
  
  I'm sure she'll do as well in the 2024 Republican field as Amy Klobuchar did in the 2020 Democratic field. And that only if Noem doesn't also join the field.
  That said, I'd certainly prefer Haley to Pompeo or Pence . . . or anyone remotely MAGA. >
  
  Kids in cages vote for Hayley >
  
  Lmao she thinks conservatives are going to vote for a woman. She's about to get a rude wake up call. >
  
  The more people decide to run and the earlier they start, the more we'll get to see them publicly tear each other down. >
  
  She will guarantee a Desnatis win, which might just be the plan. Plenty of right wingers dislike Trump now, and she might dilute enough of the former and current Trump votes and consolidate a Desantis win. >
  
  This should get interesting: she sucks Trump's ass almost as much as Lady Lindsey.
  For Trump's part, he is clearly dismissive of her chances as he's been quoted  as saying, "I think she should run." A starkly different reaction than how he has reacted to someone that hasn't even announced they're running (DeSantis).
  If she starts gaining on him, it will be interesting watching him change his tune... and how she reacts to it. >
  
  These Christofascists aren't voting for a woman. >
  
  Then how did she get elected in the first place? Or MTG or Boebert or Noem or SHS?
  I personally don't think Haley will go anywhere this cycle. That said, and I'm fairly liberal, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the first female president will be a Republican. >
  
  Dems would vote for a candidate who’s a woman based on her policies and if anything be emboldened by the fact she’d be the first woman to be president (the first point, in combo with gerrymandering and the right wing news cycle being what sunk Clinton).
  Reps would vote for a candidate who’s a woman because there’s an R next to her name and be emboldened by the chance to pretend to be feminist/gender equal and laud it over progressives (like they tried to do on a smaller scale with Herschel Walker).
  I think it’s a distinct possibility this could be what happens. >
  
  100%. I'd even go as far as saying Democrats are extremely squeamish about having a female-led presidential ticket after 2016. They are all about going with the safest candidate possible. >
  
  She'd be a terrible president, but worse than Trump? Is that even possible? >
  
  She'd be more like W.
  Maybe not as openly offensive a person as Trump, but she'll be a neocon and get us in some needless war. >
  
  You mean Nimrata Randhawa? Born to immigrant Indian Punjabi Sikh parents in Bamberg, South Carolina? >
  
  Queue Trump and his moronic attacks.  Queue the trump cult and their idiot attacks. >
  
  Queue Haley lying repeatedly about her connections to Russia.
  Queue Haley praising Trump, after he repeatedly disparages her.
  Queue Haley spending the next decade on Fox news spreading her bullshit pro-Russian propaganda. >
  
  I think out of all of the Republicans running for president she is the one that I’d like to win the Republican nomination. I’m not going to vote for any Republican in any election, but if there is a chance that a Republican will win the presidency, I’d rather it be Nikki Haley than any other Republican. >
  
  Taking bets now on what Trump's first insult against her will be: physical appearance or ethnic background. >
  
  She’s probably the best candidate that the GOP could nominate. She actually appeals to moderates and especially to college educated suburban women. All in all, I’d say that she’s not the worst when it comes to policy. Just a typical fiscal conservative and a moderate on social issues.
  She won’t win. >
  
  I'm praying Trump runs as an independent and destroys the GOP  in all three houses. >
  
  She has not been relevant in years. She is going to be one of the first sacrificial lambs to help boost Trump when he makes her cry and quit.
  Exactly as planned. >
  
  She's running for President with the ultimate goal of her's (and the GOP) to be VP running mate. She'll run, drop out then be courted by the two remaining candidates. >
  
  Another toady Trump apologist. Boo this spineless person. >
  
  You mean Nimrata Nikki Randhawa right?? >
  
  Nikki is, and I’ve always said this since she was picked to be the UN representative, the best possible option for the GOP to move forward from the stench of MAGA that stunk up the party so badly it cleared the room. 
  
  
  No one really knows her, she’s a relatively uncontroversial governor of an ultra red southern state 
  
  
  She was in a very “safe” job, where she was literally just a messenger for the federal government at the UN 
  
  
  She fits the diversity requirements that are shaping up for 2024. She’s an Indian-American woman like Kamala, who may or may not run if Biden chooses to be one and done. 
  
  
  From what I get from her, she’s pretty much a Murkowski tier republican, like a more “moderate” which would appeal to centrists. 
  
  
  She’s actually young and physically attractive, which unfortunately actually does play a role in politics at the highest level. 
  
  
  I doubt she wins but she is their best person. DeSantis is fighting for the same shit water as Trump and the other people are too weak. >
  
  She knows she will lose, she's just looking for a step up the ladder. To think though... she's willing to be sexually/racially harassed (by Trump during mudslinging phase) just to have a little more power... smh >
  
  She won’t make it past Iowa. GQP is to racist and misogynistic. >
  
  There’s the first one. In the coming weeks I would expect to see a bunch of Republicans entering the race. >
  
  Republicans will never allow a woman to hold the highest job in the land. They won't say it with words too loudly, but check out their actions. >
  
  Compared to the other GOP freaks, she's actually pretty normal. That could be dangerous down the line. >
  
  In what world would uneducated white republicans vote for a woman? Not this one >
  
  Nimrata versus Rafael for GQP nomination. The white nationalist chucklefucks wont know what to do. >
  
  Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley >
  
  Trump is going to have a lot of fun with that name. Then he'll say she was the worse UN Rep of all time, going all the way back to Washington.  I'm sure Trump doesn't know that the UN was founded in 1945. >
  
  It's a ploy >
  
  She has Trump style experience in government so I don’t see the distinction, except in hair style. >
  
  So who’s that now? Trump, desantis, this lady.. also heard maybe Newsom? >
  
  In her mind she's thinking "If that grifter with no brain can do it, so can I."
  He's such a narcissist. He probably thinks she's running so she can be closer to him. In his mind she wants to also be considered for VP. It's all about him and the people who want to serve him. >
  
  The dam has been cracked. Who's next?  Let the flooding begin. >
  
  I am looking forward to the debates - oh, wait - will there be any between republicans or are they afraid of intra-party debates too. >
  
  Good luck distancing yourself from Trump.  lol >
  
  This is fantastic news. Haley and DeSantis can go head-to-head, and whenever someone mentions Trump, we can just say, "Would you go away, please?"
  Time for the GOP to show that it isn't really the GQP. >
  
  here we go.. >
  
  Won’t be a hard win after one of the many indictments come through. My moneys on Manhattan first.. >
  
  Trump: “I’m a horrible POS racist monster who’ll continue to let the christo-fascists seize this country while making sure all my rich friends grow their wealth at the expense of the workers.”
  Haley: “ibid., but as a woman.” >
  
  If to many people run they will give Trump the nomination. >
  
  Trump winning the nomination in the face of his convictions is win win.    If they convict after the general starts, he will be an invalid choice. >
  
  This assumes much Trump has yet to get charged  much less convicted. Delay delay delay. 
  Example the mere fact that Trump announced he is running made them have to appoint a special council. 
  The GOP are protecting him. They do not want to be the party with a former president with a  conviction. 
  I firmly believe that if the GOP ever take  the white house they will pardon Trump. >
  
  More to that point, Trump can always trade his rabid simpbase's support for that pardon. He can't guarantee a GOP win, but he can guarantee a GOP loss with a third party run. >
  
  Let's hope that happens but he knows that the Republicans in power will protect him. He is a filled spiteful man though so he may. 
  My hope is that The Democrats can take the trifecta in 2024 and continue to make gains in state and local races. The Republican vision for this nation is frightening. >
  
  Delusional minority woman thinks she can lead a party of racists. She will get the birther treatment for sure.
