re: #79 Unabogie

I’ll state my unpopular opinion that I’d much rather have Nikki Haley than Trump, and it’s not close. I don’t think she’d have different policies, but I think the Republic could survive her and she’d leave office if she lost re-election.

I have never voted for a Republican, and would never support her, but I can still differentiate between them and Trump is an order of magnitude worse.

Haley would be only slightly less awful than Trump - ie she won’t spearhead an attempt to overturn the election if she loses (she’ll leave it to Trump’s remaining goon squad).

The only we she can win the nomination is if she goes after Trump the way Liz Cheney went after him. Gloves off! That would bring back most of the Never Trumpers, it seems to me. But in response, Trump will go full scorched earth on her. He would likely run as an independent and he might even attack her worse than he attacks Biden.

This would hand the election to Biden on a silver platter because the MAGA’s will either vote for Trump or stay home.

The GOP might just considering ceding the election to Biden enough of a price to finally be rid of Trump.
