Lol I believe this poll. Anyone got a cheap bridge?

On the one hand, if Nikki Haley does manage to dethrone Trump and get the republican nomination the US will be in a better place. (I don’t think she is capable of cultivating a cult-like mentality like Trump so she won’t be a dictator.)

On the other hand, I can foresee a scenario where she is a very difficult opponent for Biden to overcome and actually win the White House. That would pretty much guarantee Project 2025 happening.

@CoffeeAddict @theinspectorst would the MAGAs actually work with her or would they treat her with the same love as they did McCarthy?

@Neblib

If Trump is out of the picture, then yes because she will be their best option.

The problem with that though is I don’t see Trump going quietly into the night. He would need to completely humiliate himself in front of his supporters for them to abandon him. How that could happen I have no idea…

Would be interesting to see the first female US president be a republican.

Only Nixon could go to China...

In the UK, the first Jewish, first (and second and third) woman, and first Asian prime minister were all Tories.
