The harshness of the Bulwark's coverage of Nikki Haley is emblematic of the publication's institutional inability to envision any future Republican coalition that it does not oppose.https://thebulwark.com/nikki-haley-has-a-superpower/ …

Dan, I think you’re being way too overly solicitous to Haley. She could just be silent on political matters. Some would drag her. But she’s not even doing that. She’s actively out there w/pro-Trump nonsense. That’s a sign of having 0 character.
-
And I agree with Dan that America needs a center-right alternative. But the current GOP needs to learn the price of betraying the country. If that means the Dems run the country for a while, so be it. This can't ever be allowed to happen again, and voting against them is the way.

Hoping the institutional GOP is wiped out and younger conservatives take those spots or create a new party. (Or create a centrist party splintering from the Dems). As Jimmy Malone says: “If you're afraid of getting a rotten apple, don't go to the barrel. Get it off the tree.”
-
But the "younger conservatives" who won't be like Trump in office *are* people like Haley, Rubio, Cruz, Walker, Sasse, et al - the Gen X/Tea Party crowd. You burn that cadre down, you don't get Abe Lincoln, you get Charlie Kirk.

The Bulwark staff is convinced there is enough time to solidify the base and ignore the 47% for a successful Jub! roll out in '24.

Haley is just doing what politicians the world over do, stay relevant & in the game. Politicians - of all stripes - are incredibly malleable & change w/ circumstances & respond to market forces - at least those who want to get elected. I'm not saying it's ideal, but it's reality.

This is simple. Just vote for non-Democrats who didn't subordinate their principles, integrity, or judgment to Trump

Watergate ultimately gave us Reagan, remember, and even Ford brought in a whole new, younger generation of leadership, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al.

If you say that having a center right alternative to the Democrats requires my support of any of the existing
@GOP appeasers of Trump, there is no alternative to satisfy my vote. I expect politicians to disappoint me, but this has gone too far and cannot be forgiven.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
