And just like that all the media outlets singing Haley’s tunes in unison. It’s magical.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

almost like there's someone controlling them
It must be the buckets of money that the Koch foundation.
Haley was considered a joke when she was at the UN. It irks me to see her use that as Foreign Relations cred.
Reminder that, nationally, Democrats have been beating the polls by 9+ points at ballot boxes since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Gen-Z has no interest in taking polls, and pollsters never straight up ask you who you're going to vote for, for a reason.
According to a poll, I don't give a fuk about polls.
Even if you did, and the polling methodology was pristine (and it's not), pollsters have been embarrassingly wrong about the outcomes for the last several cycles. They and their predictive models don't understand what is driving Millennials and Gen Z to the booths.
The only polls that matter are the official votes. The rest of these are for the politics-in-media circle jerk.
Pfft, they're not going to ask you to participate in that one either.
The Messenger/Harris surveyed about 2,000 people online last week, with a margin of error of about 2 percent.
This is a poll of only 2000 people. I really don't see Haley winning against Biden. And I don't see known criminal Trump winning either.
Stop voting for Republicans, they don't believe in American democracy.
2000 is a perfectly legitimate sample size, the online part is the bigger question there.
But then I can't be racist, kill gay and trans people, be a massive asshole to those around me, and hurt the people who need hurting the most! - Christians.
I find it laughable that any woman believes she'd be capable of getting enough of the vote from such a misogynistic base. The vast majority of hard-core evangelicals I know are the kind that leave churches when they get a woman pastor because "a woman shouldn't tell a man what to do".
I'm very curious how these people would react if a woman did win the primaries. Would they prefer a woman over a democrat?
Biden will beat Trump, but he won't beat Haley.
If Haley wins the (R) nomination, then I predict that Joe Biden will disclose some unfortunate health issue that "just popped up recently", and will force him out of the race. And then the Democrats will end up nominating... um.... shoot, what was her name again?
Trump will run third party so maybe not. Trump has to go all in to be President to pardon himself for all his felonies.
If Trump doesn’t win the Republican nomination, the Republicans lose. Trump will never accept losing the primary and will run as an independent. Once he peels off all the fascists and epsilon minus semi-morons, there aren’t enough “sane Republicans” left to do anything other than come in third.
I’m cautiously optimistic that after killing so much of his base with covid and pissing off suburban women, even united, the fascists, semi-morons and toadies don’t have enough to win unless their voter suppression efforts are wildly successful (which they might be).
I think so too. Haley and Biden have very similar corporate audiences, and Haley is better for them than Biden.
I think the only way she has a shot is if Trump dies. There's absolutely no way he drops out at any point and I don't think there's a mechanism to remove him from being a candidate before the election. Secretary's of state are really hesitant about removing him via 14th amendment. He's going to bring in 20-30 percent of the electorate no matter what.
You're forgetting the abortion issue, which is a massive voting booster for Democrats who run on the pro-choice platform.
Even if Haley came out and said she supports bodily autonomy, she still has the baggage of being a Republican and a woman, the party historically against female bodily autonomy and women in positions of power. Ultimately, she'd only wind up losing the fundigelicals to Trump, DeSantis, or Vivek.
She doesn't have a shot, if Biden can lean into expanding abortion access next year.
