“What they like about Kamala is that she’s being hopeful,” Haley said of undecided voters. “They don’t want a former president talking about the past.”
Nikki Hayley is an opportunist. She sees Trump potentially losing and is shifting herself into a position of plausible deniability.
If Trump were doing better she'd be completely on his side like she was when she was his spokeswoman.
She knows he won't live until 90 and is positioning herself to become more powerful in the republican party.
Most politicians, really, but the Republicans have distilled the narcissism and made it the core foundation of the party. That's why you'll occasionally find a Democrat or third party candidat being a self-serving sycophant, but it doesn't mean both sides are the same.
This phenomenon is known as “phantom soul”. It’s when sometimes you still feel your soul, even though you had it amputated for political gain years ago.
"They don't want a former president talking about the past"
Telling the "Make America Great Again" guy to stop focusing on the past... lmao
He literally tried to rebrand MAGA to KAG (Keep America Great) in 2020, and it didn't stick.
One of the fundamental tenets of Conservatism (at least before Trump), as it relates to Liberalism is to be staunchly resistant to change.
You can't be forward-thinking if your primary goal is to maintain the status quo. Doubly so if your whole campaign is about rolling back the clock and returning to the ways of a former era.
Kamala is campaigning on a future that could exist. Trump is campaigning on a version of the past that never existed.
Nimarata, your entire party decided to fully back a con man grifter insurrectionist with overt dementia. He is a vain clown obsessed with crowd sizes and other superficial shit. He has always been this way. He was too vain to wear PPE and turned a nonpartisan crisis into a wedge issue because of it. He was this way when you personally endorsed him, Nimarata.
