Look at the long list of conservatives vanquished by Trump


Nov 1, 2022, 1:00 PM

and his idiotic base: Ben Sasse, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan to name a few and many others just because they didn't buy into the crazy...all young sane conservatives. Nikki Haley was one of the few to criticize the craziness who is still intact somewhat. Nikki in 24!

Nov 1, 2022, 1:07 PM

Which she's good at doing. Hopefully she can rise above the crazy in 2024. I hope Trump and DeSantis cannibalize each other in the primaries.

Nikki is a conservative? Who knew? She might do better running as a moderate Dem in '24! LOL!

Hi, can I answer? This one is simple:


Nov 1, 2022, 2:55 PM [ in reply to Tell us specifically why she isn't a conservative.*** ]

She's not Trump, and is mostly above the mudslinging political fray, which as you know, is now "conservatism". How can anybody be conservative without being vindictive and condescending?

And if her odds of becoming the nominee start trending in


Nov 1, 2022, 3:26 PM

a positive direction, she'll become a 'danger to democracy' and 'fascist' overnight.

By some on the far left for sure. But it would bring many

back into the party who left and send many back under the rocks they crawled out of to support Trump.

Nah, that sentiment will go mainstream after a few months


Nov 1, 2022, 4:05 PM

of media propaganda....That's what happens every time. It's a big reason why a guy like Mitt Romney, who you like, didn't win.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Romney lost because he ran against Obama. Obama would have

killed Trump.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He didn't lose by that much, you don't think the whole


Nov 1, 2022, 4:42 PM

'Romney is a sexist, racist, xenophobe' media narrative influenced enough votes to make a difference? From what I recall, the media was pretty brutal towards him in that race. Almost equivalent to the hate Trump got.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Eh...


Nov 1, 2022, 4:47 PM

He lost 332 to 206 and a difference of 5 million votes. By Electoral College standards, it was a bigger loss than Biden vs. Trump.

It wasn't considered a close race.

Teabaggers did not like Romney. That is my clearest memory.


Nov 1, 2022, 5:08 PM

I also remember those comments he made during the closed door donors dinner. That didn’t bode well for him in the media.

Popular vote was pretty close. Going into November it was


Nov 1, 2022, 5:55 PM [ in reply to Eh... ]

Too close to call either way from what I remember. It certainly was no land slide.

narrative.

The thing that Romney got hit for was his tenure at Bain Capital as far as raiding companies ala Gordon Gecko and for laying off workers.

Yea they didn't buy into actually lowering taxes and securing the border, they just talked about it their whole lives. The craziness.

Nikki was able to get 3 hospitals closed during her tenure

including in her hometown of Bamberg.

That's pretty conservative. Should be worth something in Republican circles.
