Nikki Haley walks back pledge to support Donald Trump if he's the GOP nominee

[mzmolly]

WASHINGTON – GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley says she no longer feels bound by the Republican National Committee pledge to endorse former President Donald Trump if he becomes the party’s nominee.

“The RNC is now not the same RNC,” the former South Carolina governor said on NBC's "Meet the Press'' in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I'll make what decision I want to make."

Haley's stance is a shift from an earlier pledge to support the Republican nominee. The RNC required candidates to sign a loyalty pledge to get on the primary debate stage. Trump declined to sign and did not participate in any of the debates.

During the first GOP debate, Haley was among a handful of candidates who said they would vote for Trump if he were the Republican nominee, even if he were convicted of a felony.

1. The new republic party: Loyalty pledges to morons and

electing lying, cheating, thieving, raping, con artist criminals.

2. Like I said before.................................

Haley and her campaign know something.

Also a good chunk of Republicans claim they will not vote for shithole. That's why shithole's primary wins are underperforming (where corporate media rather attack Pres Biden instead of exposing the facts).

Therefore, it's not the Dems but in fact it's the GQP in disarray.

5. "Therefore, it's not the Dems but in fact it's the GQP in disarray."

True.

But given these BIASED and very slanted polls, all usually saying that President Biden's too old and that NO ONE--Even in the Dem party--will vote for him, and that the RAPIST tRump is blowing President Biden away in ALL of the swing states. Oh, and that Pres. Biden & Dems are in BIG trouble come this Fall

13. One does have to wonder why she's hanging in the race,

otherwise. It's not like Republicans have never eaten their own before, or can be trusted even by each other.

Curious as to what it could be, if she does know something the rest of us don't?

3. Another haley flip flop.

A good one, but she's a typical opportunistic power hungry politician. First, an embryo is a baby, a day later she's changed her mind. She used to be a trump cheer leader, now she's not.

Wich way is the wind going to blow tomorrow, Nikki?

[PSPS]

4. Hardly a "walk back." "I'll make what decision I want to make" means that she will still support trump.

She just won't put it so bluntly because she still wants to be his VP or at least part of his junta.

7. Nimarata will kiss RAPIST, racist, treasonous fat boy's stinking, diaper-wearing wide butt IF ....

He makes into November 2024.

10. She's no longer claiming to be committed to support the R nominee if it's tRump.

eom

[PSPS]

11. That's a far cry from saying she's committed to support anyone except trump.

She's just another lying republican. I'll believe her only if, after trump gets nominated, she endorses Biden.

[mzmolly]

12. I don't believe her

or not. I'm merely sharing the article and taking note.

6. haley's best bet for 2028 would be to go against trump

make sure he loses and then rebuild the republican party without maga around her. This would position the republicans to shed the criminals and traitors.

Who know's what she will do - she's been borderline MAGA all along.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Trump won't live until 2028.

If he does he will likely be in prison.

[samsingh]

18. he isn't looking very good at all

[Emile]

8. Neither one of them is fit to be president.

[Freethinker65]

9. The only way she can save what reputation she has left is to endorse and campaign for Biden.

And, she just might

[Blaukraut]

14. I don't believe her and I feel bad about that

I feel bad about having to always be on guard when it comes to anything Republicans say these days. Even the Lincoln Project crowd. I don't trust them not to turn on us at their earliest convenience.

[rgbecker]

15. Clearly realizes she will not be Trump's pick for VP.

Time to cut the apron strings.

[bluestarone]

16. Yea, BUT

She WILL pardon him in a minute. IDIOT!

[ZonkerHarris]

19. She never had a chance not really attacking him when she "ran"
