🗳 Politics 🗳
Nimarata “Nikki” Haley was mercilessly attacked on Wednesday night. Not because she’s a strong target, but because she’s an easy one.
There is supposedly a law of political debates that posits that a candidate being attacked is rising. That is nonsense for two reasons. First, candidates are much more concerned with making themselves look good and will attack any opponent to do so. Second, sometimes a candidate gets hit not because they’re winning, but because they deserve to get hit.
Such was the case for Nimarata “Nikki” Haley in Wednesday night’s debate. Sure, she’s increased her share in the national polls by 3 percent over the last two months and change, but that’s mostly due to other right-liberals, establishment Republicans, and Cold Warriors getting out of the race. Wednesday’s hatchet job of Haley had very little to do with her so-called rise (in the same period, Trump’s numbers have increased by more than five points), and much more to do with the fact that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy saw they could score easy points by deservedly dunking on Haley for her views on transgenderism and foreign policy.
From the start, DeSantis’s and Ramaswamy’s guns were trained on Haley—it appears she left her ammunition heels at home. When DeSantis fielded the first question from moderator Megyn Kelly, the governor said, “I have delivered results. That’s what we need for this country. And you have other candidates up here like Nikki Haley. She caves anytime the left comes after her, anytime the media comes after her. I did a bill in Florida to stop the gender mutilation of minors. It’s child abuse and it’s wrong. She opposes that bill. She thinks it’s fine and the law shouldn’t get involved with it.”
“If you’re not willing to stand up and say that it is wrong to mutilate these kids, then you’re not going to fight for the people back home,” DeSantis said in conclusion. “I will fight for you and I will win for you.”
Kelly’s next question was for Haley, and even she got in on the fun. Kelly noted that Haley had $100,000 in the bank when she left the Trump administration in 2018, and five years later, is reportedly worth $8 million “thanks to lucrative corporate speeches and board memberships, like you had with Boeing.” Kelly expanded the connections to Haley’s campaign: “Weeks ago you met with Wall Street heavyweights including leaders from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock. Several other billionaire investors are reportedly ready to endorse you or recently have, all of which comes with expectations.”
Kelly got to the question: “Aren’t you too tight with the banks and the billionaires to win over the GOP working class base, which mostly wants to break the system, not elect someone beholden to it?”
Haley dodged the question and turned to DeSantis’s criticism, but she did not really address that either.
