No thanks.
A big no

That’s trial balloon won’t fly.
More War!
Haley may just end Ron’s run tonight at the debate. All the milktoast GOPers are bailing on Ron and moving towards Nikki.
Haley is a Trump appointee.
She’s not an Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen. Her parents weren’t naturalized citizens when she was born.
How shameless they have become!
Bwahahahahah
These idiots show repeatedly everything that is wrong with the establishmenr.
I'd imagine we'll see a number of accounts suddenly posting articles full of Haley accolades.
Nimarata Randhawa (Nikki Haley) does not have a chance in Hell of being
President, no matter how much rich donors throw money to her.
Icky Niki will disown the MAGA agenda on day one. She wants to worshipped by the establishment like the First Wookie.
No.
Just...
No.
Go away.
