Appreciate the replies. I say this, because I know I'm growing more cynical as politics get darker.
Michael Savage is devoting a good part of his show to this subject.
He's calling "Nikki Haley, the new quisling of the republican party."
So, I confess, had to refresh my history.
Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonsson Quisling was a Norwegian politician. His pro-Nazi government was known as the Quisling regime. He collaborated with the Nazis in Germany's Holocaust. A traitor to his people.
Not only the rinos, but MSM also loved her speech.
CNN Issac Bailey: "Haley was so good that she should have run for President."
Krauthammer: "...her response was the best he has ever seen."
Frank Lutz, famous for his what I surmise are staged focus groups: "measured record-high favorability ratings."
Callum Borchers, WA Post: "...this speech cemented Haley's status as a thoughtful conservative."
Like myself, & some posters here, others see it differently.
Laura Ingraham: "The Haley speech was an echo of the GWB, Jeb, Lindsey Graham-style Republicanism."
Rush Limbaugh: "Nikki Haley is proof elites are trying to decide who is & who isn't qualified to be a republican."
