The notion that Nikki Haley was ever some kind of principled outlier has always been silly to me. She is, as is/was, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, etc. an empty vessel that needed to be imprinted by supporters.

The notion that Nikki Haley was ever some kind of principled outlier has always been silly to me. She is, as is/was, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, etc. an empty vessel that needed to be imprinted by supporters. They, and there are many more, were never policy wonks that tried to do anything other than the tried and true (from the 1980's) tax cuts, defense spending, free market, stuff that hasn't applied to the changing world for decades.
George H W was probably the last Republican with "principles", all the others just wear a costume that the voters have sewn for them.
The mythical "normie" Republican hasn't existed for DECADES.
I too am Astonished when I hear people touting the airheaded “I like (his) their Policy”; or “tRump did so much for this country...”. What?
He completely stopped Agricultural Trade with China and essentially crippled American soybean farmers & other farmers, while shifting the trade to Brazil and his authoritarian buddy Bolsonaro. He called known violent people (and some gullible) to DC that attacked, killed, murdered, maimed police officers While He Tried to Steal a legal, fair election; and he & his supporters claim to support “law & order” and police! He tried (still tries) to steal an election he lied for about for a year about being stolen from him. {That’s Rich!} And he lied even before even a single vote was cast? In fact, that’s what he started claiming in ‘16 when he ran against (a popularly LOST) to Hillary.
The “policy” of: Have Russians with only Their Reporters in the Oval Office and give them Israeli military intelligence; policy to: play quid-pro-quo with Ukraine to try to hurt Joe Biden; make sure women’s right to Private healthcare was damaged with the appointment of “Justices” that Lied about their views on “settled, precedent & supported Law” to get On The Court to show how much they lied; oh yeah The Tariffs that tRump said China would pay When it showed his Stupidity Because Americans pay the tariffs when in Walmart they buy the goods from China.
Then there’s the total disrespect for our allies- shoving aside other World Leaders to get in front of a TV camera& his idiotic lies about Putin being a great guy & leader, his love & love letters with Kim,having Xi at Maga-Lago and overheard discussing US policy & secrets with the Chinese dictator.
Good Gawd- what the “F” are these people swallowing to Think any of this is:
1) WHAT Policy that Helps “we the people” and Our Lives or this country and our safety???
2) WHAT policy, behavior and ideas that Improve the world we all live in together (like that fact or not).
3) Policy to throw children into pens and tents in 100 degree weather in TX and separate them from Their Parents & deport the parents to add more Mental Cruelty.
Are these Dignified and/or even Respectful of The American People, Our Ideals and Our Way of Life???
Totally baffling as “good policy”!!
His overall policy appears to Actually Be Work Against America Interests & The American People!
"The notion that Nikki Haley was ever some kind of principled outlier has always been silly to me. " I can't think of anyone, outside of Nikki Haley, who has ever claimed this about her.
Haley has spent her entire campaign not speaking frankly or clearly about Trump. Why are we surprised that she can't speak frankly or clearly about the Civil War?
