…first came to my state and told his fans (in Cedar Rapids) to beat up their fellow Iowans at a rally and that he’d pay their legal fees.

When Biden got elected, I scheduled the cutoff for right after Inauguration Day.

Best decision I ever made!

From article I posted.

‘ Haley is set to deliver a speech to supporters announcing her run in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday, and then travel to New Hampshire and Iowa, the first states on the presidential primary calendar, in the days after. ’

Ugh.

Nikki Haley announces 2024 presidential bid, mounting first GOP challenge to Trump

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nikki-haley-announces-presidential-bid/

Washington — Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, announced Tuesday that she will make a bid for the White House, becoming the first Republican to challenge former President Donald Trump for the party's nomination.

Haley, who served under Trump, made the announcement in a video posted online, in which she declared that "it's time for a new generation of leadership."

"I'm Nikki Haley, and I'm running for president," she says at the close of the video.

The daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, and would go on to become the state's first female governor and the first Indian-American to lead the state. If she wins the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, she would make history again as the first woman and first Asian-American at the top of the GOP ticket.

Haley is set to deliver a speech to supporters announcing her run in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday, and then travel to New Hampshire and Iowa, the first states on the presidential primary calendar, in the days after. Haley will return to South Carolina in mid-March for a conservative forum.

I have to admit I hope Cheney runs. I doubt she would run to win, because she is sane and knows she wouldn’t. But she would do a lot of damage to these other psychos.

My bad for not getting this right.

But to TDFG, he will come up with something demeaning about Sikhs as well.

He's not going to go after her. In fact, he welcomes her participation, because it will further dilute the voters that wouldn't vote for him anyways. He still retains his base.

He could call her “quickie Nikki,” and then claim to know from first hand experience. Like everything else with Trump, no one will care if it’s true or not.

to make sure that the vote is split enough that his hard-core magats are enough to give him the nomination.
