He wanted her to drop put and we all know he hates when women tell him 'no.'

HawlSera ,

Let them fight; even if she gets the nomination, the GOP isn't voting for a woman.

Given the polling she's not going to win the primary.... unless something unprecedented happens. Something that's never happened in a primary before, like for example, the front-runner gets convicted of a crime during the campaign.

Which I suspect is the reason she's staying in.

Treczoks ,

And then Biden calls him a "loser". Definitely not wrong, and a good way to make Trump blow a gasket.

When was that? Did he all caps rage tweet in response?

some_guy ,

I don't like her, but I like her pissing him off.

Haley can sue for malicious intent and defamation of character, after a few weeks of Trump being infuriated.

Now, we know how much it takes for Trump to shut his trap.

This is smart. She’s probably just sitting and waiting for the Supreme Court ruling. By some rare chance that Supreme Court sides the Colorado ruling. Trump is immediately disqualified for running for President and she becomes the nominee by default

makyo ,

It isn't quite that easy is it? Can't they simply rule that CO has the right to run their elections how they see fit without weighing in specifically on whether Trump should be disqualified?

It's not that simple. It sends a message to the entire nation. If it's held up every voter is aware he is an inferior candidate. And if it doesn't, the GOP can say "look how bad they are at it".

makyo ,

That's true, I just don't see how they don't uphold it. Then again, the GOP lives for hypocrisy and their chosen few run the court now so...

assassin_aragorn ,

They have to walk a very fine line, because too far in either direction fucks them. Give the states too much power and they can kick off trump. Give the states too little power and Democrats can counterattack voter suppression

makyo ,

I love the way you think

jaschen ,

Ya, 2020 was the election. That was BEFORE January 6th. Until Trump is in jail, we will continue to have this threat. So far there are 93 indictments. We just need him in jail and then we can breathe slightly easier.

Grandwolf319 ,

I don’t get it, they had 4 years. Why aren’t people saying that the courts failed the country?

EdibleFriend ,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

People are basically saying that on every single news story about the man. People are constantly talking about how anybody else would be in jail for the shit he's done.

PRUSSIA_x86 ,

These things take time to do right. If they rush, they make it more likely that he'll get off on a technicality or plausible deniability that they didn't prepare for because everyone was so focused on getting him right NOW. You need to collect evidence and you need to build a case, and that case has to be air-tight or else the prosecution looks like a bunch of jackasses who wasted public money on an "innocent" man. He cannot be able to win this. The constant stalling and threats of violence from an angry mob of millions of magats gets in the way too.

Grandwolf319 ,

All that while some poor persons’ trial takes like a day. Like I get it’s more complicated but all that it’s proving is that the justice system is a multi tier system.

jaschen ,

It looks Al Capone over 2 years to indict Al Capone and he had 22 indictments. Trump had 93 and across multiple states. Trump took about 3 years to bring his first indictment. So it's not far off from previous indictments.

Crack0n7uesday ,

To bad she's a total war hawk, she might have had a chance against Biden.

TheJims ,

Trump’s long list of Achilles heel’s include rain, wind, 3degree ramps, bottled water and vocabulary.

NegativeInf ,

Bone spurs?

foggianism ,

Trump got more heels than a caterpillar.

Handrahen ,

Trump is himself a heel

dudinax ,

His Achilles heel is people actually opposing him.

Especially when they dare to be women.

wowwoweowza ,

Should Trump despising Biden supporters start donating to Nikki Haley?

IdiosyncraticIdiot ,

Trick question, they have been the whole time, look it up

wowwoweowza ,

Awesome!

Habahnow ,

Lol no. Donate to Biden.

wowwoweowza ,

He has zero opposition in primaries. Winning without being on ballot.

Habahnow ,

He still has to fight against Trump?

wowwoweowza ,

Not if we support Nikki Haley now. This is the whole point.

Habahnow ,

How the fuck does helping your enemy any better than helping your only ally? If she loses the nomination, which is fucking likely as hell, you just wasted money you could have given Biden.
The reasoning is borderline Russia bot speak.

wowwoweowza ,

Wow… I wish just thinking you’re the plant.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Please consider yourself exposed. A five year old can get this:

Nikki Haley has ZERO chance against Biden in fall. We knock out Trump now because he might could maybe slightly stand a chance.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Every incumbent in modern times has done that so what’s your point?

I question my humanity when I enjoy demented orange grandpa screaming in rage.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Nah, he forfeited his humanity decades ago. Enjoy all you want.

CodeName ,

He wants her out so he can start fund raising as the de facto nominee. The other reason he wants her out is that it shows his weakness... even if she loses every race it shows that 30-40% of republican primary voters don't want him. She should stay in at least until Super Tuesday just to piss him off.

detalferous ,

She should stay in until the general election. There is a non zero chance he has a stroke or an MI. He is not doing well.

m0darn ,

MI = myocardial infarction?

detalferous ,

Yes

m0darn ,

Cool, I still don't know what that is but now I can look it up.

nomous ,

MI = HA

fyi

m0darn ,

Lol thanks

archomrade ,

Yuuuuup. I think she's out raising him, too.

TheColonel ,

Last I heard, her plan is exactly that:

Stay in until at least Super Tuesday.

Binthinkin ,

Lets get it right, it’s Russia vs Koch Industries not Hailey vs Trump.

MustrumR ,

You've swapped the order though. Apart from that you are right.

ira ,

Why would she drop out, she's the leading eligible candidate.
