Haley's problem is the same problem all Republicans have. What they and more importantly their donors want (in Haley's case the Koch organization) is to repeal all social programs--Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, etc. But they also know the American public--including their own MAGA base--would be 100% against dumping the programs.

I listened to Haley speak to the SS question. What a word salad! This position is as unpopular as the abortion issue.

They know it, too. Which is why they hide behind vague language.

As far as framing the issue to help Haley. The media wants a horserace and pretend that Haley has a chance to win the primary, even though she's riding 50 pts behind Agent Orange.

It's noise.
