Haley vs. Trump vs. Biden She beats the President by 17 in the latest WSJ poll. Trump wins by 4. https://www.wsj.com/articles/most-transgender-kids-turn-out-to-be-gay-gender-affirming-care-conversion-therapy-58111b2e?mod=WTRN_pos2&cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_171&cx_artPos=1
Too bad she has no chance of being the nominee unless Trump goes to jail. And even then, most polls show that Desantis would be the choice of Trump voters if Trump wasn't an option.
Nikki Haley, asked what caused the Civil War, leaves out slavery. It’s not the first time APNews.com BY MEG KINNARD Updated 11:46 PM EST, December 27, 2023 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was asked Wednesday by a New Hampshire voter about the reason for the Civil War, and she didn’t mention slavery in her response — leading the voter to say he was “astonished” by her omission. Asked during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, what she believed had caused the war — the first shots of which were fired in her home state of South Carolina — Haley talked about the role of government, replying that it involved “the freedoms of what people could and couldn’t do.” She then turned the question back to the man who had asked it, who replied that he was not the one running for president and wished instead to know her answer. After Haley went into a lengthier explanation about the role of government, individual freedom and capitalism, the questioner seemed to admonish Haley, saying, “In the year 2023, it’s astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word slavery.” “What do you want me to say about slavery?” Haley retorted, before abruptly moving on to the next question . . . Issues surrounding the origins of the Civil War and its heritage are still much of the fabric of Haley’s home state, and she has been pressed on the war’s origins before. As she ran for governor in 2010, Haley, in an interview with a now-defunct activist group then known as The Palmetto Patriots, described the war as between two disparate sides fighting for “tradition” and “change” and said the Confederate flag was “not something that is racist.” During that same campaign, she dismissed the need for the flag to come down from the Statehouse grounds, portraying her Democratic rival’s push for its removal as a desperate political stunt. Five years later, Haley urged lawmakers to remove the flag from its perch near a Confederate soldier monument following a mass shooting in which a white gunman killed eight Black church members who were attending Bible study. At the time, Haley said the flag had been “hijacked” by the shooter from those who saw the flag as symbolizing “sacrifice and heritage.” South Carolina’s Ordinance of Secession — the 1860 proclamation by the state government outlining its reasons for seceding from the Union — mentions slavery in its opening sentence and points to the “increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery” as a reason for the state removing itself from the Union . . .

Turns out its not the first time haley stumbled while avoiding answering the question in an effort to avoid upsetting extremists...
Who cares even if it was a plant? She still botched the answer and was a coward. She can answer the question no matter who asks it.
She’s a mix of incompetence and evil, never a good combination. every politician is self serving, but few are complete menus for the elite and establishment like her. she has a pre-rehearsed response for everything which is why you see her fall flat o frequently with stuff like this. I was in SC and knew ppl in her periphery well when she was gov.
