This Lady is for Turning

 


Nikki Haley once said "Underestimate me. That's always fun."

No one did, I think. Last night's turn up at the RNC to whole-heartedly endorse Trump, despite having previously called him dangerous and unfit, was more or less as expected. Ron DeSantis ate some words. Marco Rubio has eaten some words. Mike Pence endorsed Ted Cruz in 2016 and ate rather a lot. Young Vance had better develop a strong appetite for eating whatever is on his plate and asking for seconds. 

Such is the nature of a party where some attendees at the RNC are wearing sympathy bandages over their ears to match their Fearless Leader, Man of Destiny, for whom God most certainly has a plan. All criminal charges and other lawsuits, all AR-15 bullets and/or shards of Teleprompter glass, are mere devices of the devil fashioned against him.

It's a cult. She couldn't beat them, so she joined them. The modern GOP has no real convictions, other than ones a jury might decide for them. 

And so passes a "Never-Trump" hope from the world.

Round heals or takes a knee?

I would say "took a knee" because she thinks there is a future for her in the party. I would be willing to bet however, the next RNC she will not be a speaker.

Minus the Southern patois that sounds like Senator John Kennedy as rendered by bad AI, Donald Trump talking about groceries sounds like Jerr...
