Re: Nikki Haley question for those willing to be honest.

Answering a bit late, but wanted to chime in.

I was/ am a Nikki Haley supporter. I voted for her in the primary, and if she was on the ballot I would have voted for her instead of voting for Harris. I would have/ and never will vote for President Trump. My beef with him and his companies started way before the 2016 election. So I was a never Trumper before that was even a thing. I think he is a dishonest person. It has been proven multiple times over, prior to 2016. I still do not understand how the Evangelical Right has been able to overlook his short comings and make him their choice. It is what it is, but its still very troubling to me. Take that for what you will.
I think if Haley would have gotten the nomination, I think she would have won the election if she faced off against Harris. I feel like she would have beaten Biden. But honestly am not sure. There is still a large portion of “women” voters that do not believe that a women should be president. So that is the reason for the bit of doubt if that would have been a scenario.
You ask, “do you see what many of us saw?”. No. I don’t. I still just see a con man. I say this because of your question. I will try to be respectful to President Trump out of respect for the office. But I wanted to answer your question honestly.
That all said, I will concede that I feel like the democrats messaging of “Protect Democracy” fell on deaf ears to me after the Biden/ Trump debate which lead to the appointment of Harris as the nominee. Even though procedurally it was ok for the democrats to do this, the whole situation made me extremely disappointed in the democrat party as a whole. A issue with the health of our president was covered up, no primary process, an appointment of Harris for what I feel were demographic reasons/ promises. Because if we are being honest, for over 3 years, she was pretty much off the radar on any real policy issues. And the only thing I heard her name attached to was the boarder, which I think most would agree is/ has not been a positive for either party. So again, nothing to really hang your hat on. But its also the Vice President so outside of having a pulse, its usually a silent job the majority of the time.. I voted for Harris and Waltz, but it literally was only because I was voting against Trump. Both parties, let me down in that regard when it comes to candidates..
I will close by saying I hope this election cycle puts to rest the whole “rigged election” nonsense. I pray that our moderate senate repulicans have some input regarding the replacement of C. Thomas and S. Alito that will sure to happen in the next 2 years. I hope 2 moderate candidates will emerge so that we have a good balance of ideas and thoughts in that branch of our government. I pray that the house and senate will be able to pass a balanced budget. There should be no excuse at all. They have the super majority that should not be a problem. In general I will just say a prayer that our elected officials do their very best to make the best decision they can with the information they have at the time.
I love my country!

I thought Trump was going to get absolutely dog walked. The policies that I like of Trump's over the Blue Team's weren't enough to win the election. He's such a doofus.

Edit to Add: I voted for Vivek in the primary.

But then, he started putting together an extremely diverse team. Diverse in thought, the diversity that matters. RFK Jr. Tulsi. Vivek. Then Elon got on board.

I'm leaning towards him learning some lessons and surrounding himself with people that actually share his vision (and yes, I think amongst all the dumb ####, he does have a non-Fascist dictatorship-esque vision. that was propaganda).

Thankfully the Blue Team was so arrogant in their notion that they thought the only thing plaguing this country was abortion. B/c they never pivoted or shifted their focus to counter this.

When Ron Paul got in at the last minute, I knew they were done. When I saw the early voting data, I put $20k down on it.

I didn't anticipate the bro vote pulling him over. The Gen Z males? C'mon. The hispanic population? No way. When he won Miami-Dade and Duval counties, I added $10k to my position.

There's a great energy around de-centralization across numerous pockets of policy and I'm all for it. Getting Ron Paul a seat at the table, hopefully, is the universe making things right.

Bro......if we go after the Fed. Coupled with an appropriate BTC strategy to hedge Brics de-dollarization efforts? Pants = creamed.

We comin baws. I'm euphorically optimistic for the time being. I'm sure that will subside, lol. But seeing the reaction at the polls is indicative that a lot of the elitist rhetoric falls flat on it's face.

I thought Haley was the best choice to win, but i think i was wrong...

THere's a huge chasm between "politically correct" and what Trump says.***

You chose the wrong candidate because he's a moron

Re: Nikki Haley question for those willing to be honest.

No...what was said about Haley at the time was true...

I voted for her in the primary. Why? 1) she's not a scoundrel (adulterer, 1/6er)

RFK is a kook.

Re: RFK is a kook.

Trump said he'll have it all fixed up in 6 months.

Not a kook. The Deep State killed his uncle and his diddy.

Hey, have you heard about Qanon?
