The headline reads, \u201cMajor GOP donors eye Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis as the top Trump alternatives<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Farther down it says,<\/p>\n

\u201cMark Harris, the lead strategist at the pro-Haley Stand for America super PAC, released a memo after the debate touting the position of the lone woman in the primary \u201cafter two strong debates.\u201d A Haley fundraising appeal on Thursday told supporters she has been \u201cFLOODED with a nonstop SURGE OF SUPPORT,\u201d following the debate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, Nikki Haley is surging.\u00a0 Her support is rising.\u00a0 Well my stomach is surging and churning and my gorge is rising just thinking about her.<\/p>\n

You know, I think I\u2019d prefer Joe Biden as president rather than Hikki Haley.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to imagine but I can\u2019t think of anyone who wouldn\u2019t get my vote over Nikki Haley.\u00a0 Except maybe Barack Obama.\u00a0 He might be a tad worse.\u00a0 Luckily, he\u2019s blocked on constitutional grounds.\u00a0 But even JEB! would be preferable to her.\u00a0 Romney would be close.\u00a0 They have a lot in common.\u00a0 The smug elitist attitude, the tone-deaf position on conservative issues.\u00a0 But I think even Mitt would get my vote instead of Haley.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing to think that establishment Republican operatives see Haley as a top choice.\u00a0 But it makes sense.\u00a0 She gives them a candidate that they can package as checking off all the right boxes.\u00a0 Female, check.\u00a0 Non-white, check.\u00a0 Pro-abortion, check.\u00a0 Pro-Ukraine, check.\u00a0 Pro-Gaia, check.\u00a0 Smug elitist attitude, check, check, check.\u00a0 These are the people who gave us John McCain and Mitt Romney for president.\u00a0 They know a cheerful loser when they see one.<\/p>\n

So, look, this isn\u2019t shocking or even surprising.\u00a0 The powers that be will select the least authentic, most bought and paid for loser they can find.\u00a0 And that is Nikki Haley through and through.\u00a0 Then, why am I writing about this?\u00a0 Because it makes me crazy knowing that they\u2019ll keep doing this over and over again.<\/p>\n

And this is why Donald Trump is the only candidate I can vote for.\u00a0 He\u2019s the protest vote against all of this phony nonsense.\u00a0 Even after W, McCain, Romney, JEB and everything that went on in 2020 they still try to push Nikki Haley as a conservative.\u00a0 It\u2019s enough to make you want to throw up.\u00a0 Because what they\u2019re saying basically is, \u201cEither you\u2019re too stupid to see what we\u2019re doing or too weak to stop us from doing it and we don\u2019t even care which it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so, if in November 2024 the ballot for president has the name Nikki Haley as the Republican candidate I\u2019ll vote for the Democrat.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s Joe Biden.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s Kamala Harris.\u00a0 Heaven help me, even if it\u2019s the stupidest man on planet Earth, Don Lemon, I\u2019ll vote for him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not voting for their clowns anymore.\u00a0 Bought and sold won\u2019t work.\u00a0 We\u2019ve gotten a look behind the curtain and we\u2019re not likely to forget.\u00a0 So, 2024 can be the beginning of the new world.\u00a0 No one votes for fake conservatives anymore and we abandon federal elections until our choices are credible.\u00a0 No more Mitt Romneys, no more Bushes and definitely no more Nikki Haleys.\u00a0 Boycotting these phonies is precisely what will change things.\u00a0 In the meantime, local politicians will gain in importance and eventually one of them will be the clear choice in presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe a new party will replace the Republicans.\u00a0 The time is past ripe for it.\u00a0 Once the party starts losing every election I could see a massive defection of conservative Republicans to a third party at some point.\u00a0 That would leave the phonies and the grifters like Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham high and dry and all alone.\u00a0 I guess they can call up their old friend Nikki Haley and see what she\u2019s up to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
