Nikki Haley: “I will start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement. Period.”
This is how it was going to end before it started.
Haley never had a shot:
• She was too female
• She was too brown
• She was too birthright citizenship
Only the slim minority of Republicans really considered her.
And let’s face it, the Republican Party literally BELONGS to Trump.
The GOP didn’t try to resist.
The party cheered for its own demise.

“‘Donald Trump is the president who will actually unite this country,’ Ramaswamy said.”
After all, look how successful Putin is!
“(Kerri) Lake began her speech by calling out what she called ‘the fake news’ and ‘disastrous Democrat policies.’”
This is shorthand for “employee markets” hurt business! We need to hurt the economy so that it is an employers market again.
Low unemployment is a ”disaster” to Republicans.

“ In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins afterward, McCormick said Americans need to ‘make sure that we’re not talking in ways that dehumanizes people and ultimately contributes to an environment where violence is going to happen.’”
Trump: When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best…They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
That’s Trump dehumanizing people in 2015.
It won’t change.

Lara Trump: “You didn’t have to love everything he tweeted,” she said of the former president, “but you cannot deny you were better off when Donald Trump was in office.”
COVID, high unemployment, almost a half-million deaths, injecting disinfectant, denying the disease was a problem, acting like an ass with world leaders, talking like Putin was a friend of the US, leaking top secret info, giving tax breaks to 1%, helping, obstruction of Justice, TWO impeachments,…

“Maybe you got to see a side of Donald Trump on Saturday,” she said of his triumphal response to the would-be assassin’s near-miss, “that you didn’t know existed until you saw it with your own eyes.”
I saw a man who attempted to use an attempted assassination for his bid for the Presidency.
None of his values, policies or views towards Americans have changed.
He doesn’t get a “participation” vote from be.
Fist pumping may impress the rubes, but he hasn’t changed.

Anyone who thinks we were better off under Trump was not paying attention.
The man watched TV and played golf.
He engaged in quid quo pro with Ukraine. Then lied about it.
He tried to enforce loyalty oaths and NDAs. A corruption of law and government. Federal workers worked for America, not Trump.
Hiring family? Nepotism much?
The only people that benefited were Trump, his family and the rich.
