U.S. Senator Tim Scott suspended his run for the 2024 Republican presidential election nomination on Sunday after months of burning through campaign cash at a blistering rate without making a significant dent in national opinion polls.
Mark my words, Chris Christie will be the last holdout in the primaries I guarantee you. He knows Trump is going to get convicted and is banking on slipping in as the only viable alternative in Q3 of next year.
I'd prefer Haley if we had to end up with a Republican. She at least seems to understand geopolitics and the failing stance of being staunchly anti-abortion more than Christie.
She tows the party line, I think, mostly because she has to, but is more sensible (for a Republican) on many issues.
Haley scares me the most out of all of them. The others fall all over themselves to say what they mean. She cloaks her beliefs in half statements just like W. did in the 00s.
Abortion is a good example, she knows it’s a loosing issue so she has taken the stance of attacking the idea that Republicans would have a large enough majority to ever pass a ban. She never states she wouldn’t sign a ban if it came across her desk.
The electorate won’t know who they voted for until she is in office.
Did you watch the first debate? She openly criticized her own party HARD for fucking the economy with the TC&J Act when nobody else seems to want to touch that one. I find her to be the most honest of the bunch about her beliefs
No, but I did watch the most recent debate where she attacked the premise of the national abortion ban question rather than answering it.
Cudos to her if she would actually seek to reverse the TC&J act. But I consider it a strike against someone’s credibility when they side step a question rather than make their beliefs known.
While I will admit that I haven't been paying much attention to this Calvacade of Also-Rans, I have been absorbing repeated ads on Hulu where Nimarata Randhawa strongly suggests that we should be bombing Iran ASAP.
