Nikki Haley says the RNC is ‘clearly not’ an honest broker after calls to unify around Trump in primary ( www.nbcnews.com )

She acknowledged that she must do better in the South Carolina primary than in New Hampshire to continue her campaign.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly.

“Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”

“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out there?” she said. “This is a democracy. The American people want to have their say in who is going to be their nominee. We need to give them that.”

Haley noted that it takes 1,215 delegates to reach the nomination, the majority of which have yet to be allocated.

Sounds an awful lot to me like the statement of a woman who is surprised that the face-eating leopard she helped to raise in the first place is now looking at her with that hungry look in his eyes because the "them" that he was supposed to be attacking in the first place is no longer enough to feed his hunger.

Neither the RNC or the DNC have any obligation to run their primaries truly democratically and they know it and flex it all the time. RIP Bernie.

Yepp... 3rd party is the only way out

How about no parties. Just vote for whoever is best at your local election without any party affiliations and then let them figure shit out when they get to their seats.

Rather than voting along party lines and nothing ever getting done they will vote however they think will get them voted in again. Republicans in California have different views and priorites than Republicans in South Carolina, same as Democrats in Oregon and Democrats in New York. Get rid of the Ds and Rs and you will end up with much better and honest representation.

I'd imagine ranking through the RNC is a lot like climbing the hierarchy of the Klingon Empire.

I don't think so. Much of Klingon culture is based upon honor and avoiding actions that bring shame. The modern day RNC appears to entirely lack both honor and ability to experience shame.

That, and there is a lot more stabbing in the Klingon Empire.

Yeah they're more like the Romulans with all the mind control stuff they do.

The Klingon empire is corrupt as fuck all throughout DS9 so maybe they are closer than you think lol.

The only Klingon who actually gave half a fuck about honour was one raised completely outside of Klingon culture.

Don't forget about Kern! He sure did!

You’re getting there, Nikki. It’s taking awhile, but you’re on the right track to finally realize what a shit group of people you want for friends. If you actually care though…that’s another question.

I think that applies equally to the RNC and DNC. It's why we don't have meaningful debates anymore either.
