Just wait until she drops out:

"Trump is the leader we need, he's bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he's super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah."

I'm hanging on to the pipe dream that she eventually drops out and endorses Biden. Can you imagine the reaction of Trump and his gang, the sheer apoplectic fury would like to make his head explode.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago

Not really, they'll just say she was a plant the whole time, like Trump has done with his last 4 terrible lawyers.

Dude, back up off the pipe. She’s not going to throw away all her money.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Things like that have happened a lot and nobody's head has exploded, so I'm not holding my breath.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Omg, you just gave me something to dream about.

I'm hoping her strategy is to stay in until the bitter end just in case Trump gets disqualified from the ballot.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I voted for her in the primaries!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

If nothing else, I want her to keep running because she's just causing further chaos for Trump and splitting the Republican votes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Why? She's also a racist bigot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

i live in a red state, so much so that some races in the general election are uncontested. if i don't vote in the republican primary, i essentially don't have a say in anything because i will be out-voted in the general even if there are multiple candidates. so i hold my nose and try to find the least bad option in the republican primaries. I did vote in the democratic primary in 2016 and 2020, though, b/c i had to support the Bernie man, so it depends on the circumstances. This is what our FPTP voting system has reduced me to.

The only thing you can do is fuck things up in the primaries. Its a good strategy.

"He can grab my Pussy whenever he want, where ever he wants! My name is Nikki Haley, and I approve this message!"

When you're rich, they let you do it.

“Trump must go!”

“Who must go?”
