So, I read today that we lost that fat tub of lard, Chris Christie.\u00a0 He finally dropped out.\u00a0 And probably the only reason he dropped out was to give Nikki Haley a better shot at making it close in New Hampshire.\u00a0 Well, if there\u2019s a candidate I dislike more than Chris Christie it\u2019s Nikki Haley.\u00a0 In fact, I despise Haley more than Christie by whole orders of magnitude.\u00a0 Christie is just an annoying gadfly.\u00a0 He\u2019s on an anti-Trump crusade because it\u2019s the only way he could think of to even reach the debate stage.<\/p>\n
But Haley is an honest to goodness GOPE RINO.\u00a0 She believes in endless neocon war, unlimited illegal immigration, woke evil like transgender pediatric surgery and anything else that progressive Republicans tell her she should believe in.\u00a0 Listening to her explain why we need to be involved in multiple wars makes my skin crawl.<\/p>\n
Currently the plan is for Haley to either win or come close in New Hampshire by means of unaffiliated voters switching their party affiliation to Republican and voting for her.\u00a0 Then when the South Carolina primary rolls around the hope is that she will have generated enough excitement from New Hampshire to win.\u00a0 And you never know.\u00a0 Stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n
So, if she manages to win one or both of those states, she hopes to stay in the race all the way to the convention.\u00a0 Well, I tend to doubt she can make much of a showing.\u00a0 But what she\u2019s really hoping is to be the last man standing if Trump gets disqualified by the Republican National Committee and then be appointed the nominee.\u00a0 Basically, she is JEB II.\u00a0 No, I take that back, she is Mitt Romney 2.0.\u00a0 One thing I am sure of.\u00a0 If Haley is on the ballot, she won\u2019t be getting my vote.\u00a0 I\u2019ll either stay home or vote for Biden as a protest vote.\u00a0 I despise her even more than Biden and you know how I feel about him.<\/p>\n
So here we have the Republican Party doing everything they can to eliminate the candidate that has been polling over 60% for months.\u00a0 It\u2019s demonstrably clear that they have no interest in adopting any of the clear policy preferences of the great majority of the Republican voters.\u00a0 All they want is to force the generic GOPE candidate on their voters and if they can\u2019t do that they\u2019d prefer to lose.<\/p>\n
I understand that in the short term the Republican Party is the vehicle we are forced to vote for to provide the lesser of two evils.\u00a0 But a time has to come soon when a successor party must begin to form around populist candidates who won\u2019t owe allegiance to the donors and lobbyists.<\/p>\n
It would be an enormous thrill to have a party where everything it stood for was anathema to the Bushes, the Obamas and the Clintons.\u00a0 Where Nikki Haley, Mike Pence or Chris Christie would be booed off the stage if they dared show their faces.\u00a0 If I could name it maybe I\u2019d call it the Normal People\u2019s Party.\u00a0 Or maybe we could call it the God and Guns Party.\u00a0 Since these are all the things that Barack Obama hated about America.<\/p>\n
But in the meantime, just look and listen to Nikki Haley and know exactly what the Republican Party is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
