    I’m starting to think Trump said something personally to Haley that seriously pissed her off, because she must know she’s not going to win.

      I assume she’s hoping to get the Republican nomination by default if Trump is disqualified.

        This would be my dream (as a non-American).

        I want to see if the deep red Republicans hate Democrats enough to vote for a woman, born to Indian immigrant parents just out of spite.

      because she must know she’s not going to win.

      Winning isn’t important. It’s the free money. Colbert showed years ago how PAC money could be transformed into a personal slush fund.

      Might be early preparation for a 2028 run. She’ll be a familiar face who was “strong enough to go toe to toe with Trump” or something. I dunno much about political calculus.

      Plus yeah, this might also be payback to get him tilted.

      At this point she can only win. Winning the nomination and the election this year is a long shot, that’s certainly true. But whether Trump wins the election by whatever means and inevitably drops dead at some point or he wins the nomination but loses the election, she’s in place as his obvious successor.
