INGRATE: Nikki Haley criticizes Trump and says he has no future in the GOP

Actually it is the Republican Party that has no future without President Trump, Nikki Haley. Haley has again decided to attack President Trump to appease the Republican Party establishment. This incredibly ill-advised decision will cost her big time when she runs for POTUS in 2024. Haley incorrectly believes that she can win the Republican Party presidential primaries without the support of President Trump’s voters. Even if President Trump is unable to launch a viable presidential campaign in 2024, Haley will run into a fierce Trump loyalist by the name of Governor Ron DeSantis, who will defeat her quite convincingly. Furthermore, Nikki Haley would be a terrible presidential candidate for the GOP. Without the support of Team Trump Haley would lose Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and the entire rust belt to President Biden.

Nikki Haley criticizes Trump and says he has no future in the GOP

By CNN, February 12, 2021

Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley directly criticized former President Donald Trump for his involvement stoking the US Capitol riot in a new interview, a notable condemnation from someone who is widely viewed as harboring presidential hopes in a party that is still in thrall to Trump.

“We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she told Politico magazine in an interview published Friday. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Haley has often attempted to walk a fine line between allying herself with Trump — who remains a hugely popular figure within the party — while distancing herself enough to appeal to his Republican and moderate critics. She notably left his administration in 2018 on good terms with Trump, a contrast to many other officials who have publicly fallen out with their former boss.

In the Politico piece, Haley expressed anger over Trump’s treatment of former Vice President Mike Pence on January 6 and said she hasn’t spoken with Trump since then. Trump attacked Pence on Twitter that day for doing his duty of presiding over Congress’ counting of the Electoral College votes, as the mob of supporters broke into the Capitol hoping to stop the certification, some of whom chanted death threats against Pence.

“When I tell you I’m angry, it’s an understatement,” Haley told Politico. “Mike has been nothing but loyal to that man. He’s been nothing but a good friend of that man. … I am so disappointed in the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I’m disgusted by it.”

She did, however, say that she believes “impeachment is a waste of time.” A majority of Senate Republicans have signaled that they will vote to acquit Trump, and removal from office requires a two-thirds vote in the chamber.

Asked how Trump should then be held accountable, Haley replied, “I think he’s going to find himself further and further isolated.”

“I think his business is suffering at this point. I think he’s lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think he’s lost his social media, which meant the world to him,” she continued. “I mean, I think he’s lost the things that really could have kept him moving.”

The Senate could also consider a vote of whether to bar Trump from serving in public office, preventing him from running for reelection in 2024. Haley, however, predicted that Trump won’t run for federal office again and that the former President will not have a future in the Republican Party.

“I don’t think he’s going to be in the picture,” she said. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.”

She acknowledged that “the love” Republicans have for Trump is “still very strong” and won’t “fall to the wayside.”
