Nikki’s draft speech leaked:
"Trump has called me a birdbrain, has insulted my character, and has made sexist and xenophobic comments about me.
"Well, primary voters, I cannot let this go without a response! And so, Mr. Trump, hear me now:
"If you continue your campaign of hate and division, I will have no choice but to drop out of the primary and endorse you.
"Make no mistake! I am no threat to you Mr. Trump. None! I will pardon you if elected, but do not for a second misunderstand! I will not be elected. Unless as your VP. So read my lips: Where. Do. I. Submit. My. Resume.
"I know you like loyalty, Mr. Trump. Well, let me teach you a lesson or two about loyalty: If chosen, I will submissively serve you. And nothing - not laws, norms, or the interests of the country - will slow me down. Hear me again: I will NOT back down from any loyalty test you throw at me.
“In closing, remember: I will do anything to drink from the sweet bloody chalice of power at any cost. Thank you.”
Is this really actually Al Franken? If so, huge fan of your comedy and your politics.
It really is in that style.
That’s a strange way to say she will suck his dick and throw her full endorsement behind him!
Perhaps Trump will grab her by the pussy in solidarity.
It’s like the pot going after the kettle for being too black. Nikki Haley may be a little easier on the ears and the eyes, but she’s still a spineless repuglican coward. Even USA Today called her that and said if she wasn’t a coward, she’s be brave enough to call out trump for being a rapist, a woman-hater, a traitor to America, a thief, a liar, and all the rest.
She never will. She’s too spineless and she’s too much a puppet of right-wing nutjobbery.
And it’ll be fantastic for Trumps polling numbers.
I mean… whatever. These throwaway armchair John Madden style articles where the premise is basically “Now what Nikki Hayley needs to do to win this election, is get more votes than the other guy” are a complete distraction, and jesus christ, are they fucking everywhere.
It seems like every 20 minutes one of these, effectively dishrag, tier articles is written, which is mostly just banal color commentary about the drapes. Journalists really do need to engage their critical thinking skills, and maybe slow down the pace a bit.
