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.
Lay into meaning she’ll pledge her loyalty to him?
Probably after he guarantees her the VP spot.
Honestly that’s like a ticket to become president right there.
Trump has some kind of degenerative dementia and he’s losing what’s left of his grip on reality quickly. If his decline continues at the same pace he’ll be incapable of doing any of his duties in the first year, if he’s not dead from it.He was incapable of doing his daily duties 7 years ago and that didn’t stop him.
He was unwilling 7 years ago, he chose to golf instead.
I mean a vegetable, unable to even be propped up on stage for his supporters and utterly useless to the party.Weekend At Donnie’s
It did, though. He didn’t do any of his daily duties. Plenty of daily doodies, I’m sure, thus the smell.
Yeah stefanik is already gargling trumps balls (probably quite literally) for that and several other positions.
And who will remove him if he doesn’t want to resign?
If he’s a vegetable what’s he going to do about it? They’ll just wheel his ass out.
Can you tell which one of his bootlickers has the courage to suggest their dear leader should be removed or step down because he has dementia or some other issue affecting his super stable judgement?
exactly
And then she’ll fall in line because Republicans are spinless and have absolutely zero character.
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.
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.
Journalists really do need to engage their critical thinking skills,
What’s a jerrrn-ull-esss? Is that something from the before-times?
No, it will be watching a loser insult a bigger loser, i.e. boring.
And it’ll be fantastic for Trumps polling numbers.
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.
