If she can win ~5 states I think she gets to make certain demands at the convention. Such as giving a speech or requiring a platform be written.

No Haley fan, but I am interested to see what or if her plan here is.

Her plan is to be there as soon as Trump goes to prison to say "I'm here, not in prison, and I'm ready to run the country".

Don't mind the fact that project 2025 will be implemented with any Republican candidate.

The plan is to be able to step in if years of grifting or double quarter pounders with cheese catch up to the front runner.

She also might be trying to place herself as a contender for the 2028 election. If Trump wins and doesn't completely up end the two term limit then in 2028 the Republican party will need a new presidential candidate. If he loses he may not live to see the 2028 election and it's the same thing. She's only doing what every sycophant and nonconformist has done throughout human history, planning ahead for when the king dies.

She might be burning her bridges with the Trumpers too though. Hard to know.

I mean, what are they going to do? vote democrat?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Vote for someone else in the primary. Someone who showed loyalty to Trump.

I suspect that Don. Jr. would be the next republican front runner if Trump doesn't live until, or cannot run in 2028.

Don Jr and Eric have no rizz. If big D dies, they'll treat him like Elvis. They'll keep buying the merch but no one bought any Lisa Marie albums.

I hope you're right.
