    Nikki Haley throws her hat in the ring.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Consitently polling at the bottom of the pack, she has huge growth potential.

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Today's GOP is populist and tolerant of conspiracies. A candidate who doesn't at least speak like a populist won't have a chance. So what potential candidate is most likely to be able to speak like a populist but actually be a normie and moderate in office? Is there such a candidate out there?

                Absolutely brutal article about Kamala Harris in today's NYT.

                https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/u...ct-legacy.html

                But the painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill and around the nation — including some who helped put her on the party’s 2020 ticket — said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.
                Now with Mr. Biden appearing all but certain to run again, the concern over Ms. Harris has shifted to whether she will be a political liability for the ticket. Given that Mr. Biden at 80 is already the oldest president in American history, Republicans would most likely make Ms. Harris, who is 58, a prime attack line, arguing that a vote for Mr. Biden may in fact be a vote to put her in the Oval Office.

                “That will be in my opinion one of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden,” said John Morgan, a prominent fund-raiser for Democrats, including Mr. Biden, and a former Florida finance chairman for President Bill Clinton. “It doesn’t take a genius to say, ‘Look, with his age, we have to really think about this.’”
                Ouch.

                  That must be mostly behind the scenes work, because VP's don't really distinguish themselves as VP's, do they?

                    Ouch.
                    She got so much traction out of a few minutes of questioning during the Kavanaugh hearings.

                    We seem to be so intent on finding saviors in certain packages that we can skip much needed vetting, or just simply ignore warning signs.

                      Lots of VPs have ended up as presidential candidates. Joe Biden, for starters.

                      The problem is that she is about as exciting as cold oatmeal on her best days.

                        I don't even remember what she did in the hearings. If that was the reason why Biden's team picked her, they really dropped the ball on that one.

                          Sure they do. But is that because they distinguished themselves as VP's?

                            I think they usually try not to tarnish their reputations. Harris has that issue. Most VPs can simply say they were so close to the action they got OJT and are therefore ready to step right in.

                              Has she? She's seemed unremarkable one way or the other. Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention.

                                You clearly have not. She is a sinking ship in her own party. Nobody seems to like the prospect of a Harris candidacy.
