Haley would have needed to quit halfway through her first term as Governor to have any cred with Republicans.

"Does not have the kind of speaking voice the pundit class tends to worry will frighten men." HA! Republican women need not worry about that. As far as GQPers are concerned, MTG speaks with the voice of an angel while AOC is a shrieking harpy.

You mean do a Palin? Quitting halfway through didn't end up helping her much.

I hate to think that some people base their opinions as to what they want politically on reading opinion pieces as to what a professional political opinion writer believes are the popular political opinions are.

As hominem attacks. Yet another arena in which the GOP fails to armor themselves with any semblance of consistency.

$10 says he wrote the entire article after coming up with what he thought was an awesome turn of phrase, ” There is a great future behind Nikki Haley.”

I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in Nimrata. I really thought she was smart enough to not pledge her total fealty to Trump and could maintain her viability as a “sensible” candidate in a post Trump world, even if that meant reinventing herself as a conservative Democrat.

Even after the took the UN post in the Trump admin, I thought it was a position that would allow her to not appear disloyal to Trump, but wouldn’t make her seem like a shameless Trump toady.

But, alas, she proved to be just as spineless as all the rest of them and has crushed any chance of the White House as a result.

America's political class is in crisis and has no idea what to do in the face of America's current location on the downslope of the arc of great powers.

It's in everyone's best interest to blame everything on Trump.

I sure don't mind. Unless "It's All Trump's Fault" becomes cover and an excuse for not addressing our nation's pressing and intensifying issues. That's the pitfall that worries me.

PAB deserves all the opprobrium we can level at him. We have real issues that absolutely have to be addressed and our political class is like deer in the headlights.

I ran into a bunch of Wingers on Twitter whose whole thing was about how stupid AOC is. Obviously, reality negates this, but there’s a bunch of guys out there that hate that AOC is a unrepentant progressive who makes them feel funny in their bathing suit area.

Really it’s all projection with these folks.

For the gop, conventional wisdom and misinformation are the same thing.

Please review the rules, Item #5. No, there's not a pun exception for sexism.
