Nikki Haley : 'We shouldn't have followed him'

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/538573-haley-breaks-with-trump-we-shouldnt-have-followed-him

'Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued stunning remarks breaking with former President Trump, telling Politico in an interview published Friday that she believes he “let us down.”

“We need to acknowledge he let us down,” Haley, who served in her ambassador role under Trump, said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” '

...she believes the Senate will acquit him and he will be the nominee in 2024. That can't happen! She is supposed to be the nominee in 2024!

that goes for just about all of the Rs (or are they Qs) in elected positions. A whole box of them would produce less light than a firefly.

Nikki is either stupid or complicit. Either way she is a disgrace.

Then they would not have made the mistake of following him.

Damn, nobody told her and them that he was a con, and a liar, and a racist, and a facist...

saying something strong about Trump, getting headlines like "Haley breaks with Trump".

Then turning around and saying "give him a break".

A lot like Lindsey Graham, it's how they roll in S.C.

It means more and more establishment Rs are unafraid to toss Trump under the bus and move on.
