Her gaffe was being too non-specific in a meandering answer. Slavery is the ultimate deprivation of freedom, and she blathered a bit about the basic freedoms that are denied.

The horror!

There was a barb in that question and, as a candidate, she needed to see the hazard better. But to suggest, as you did, that this erases her body of work as a candidate and somehow puts her square in the MAGA camp is absurd.

That this is getting the level of press reporting that it has is neither surprising and unique seeing how the media - like some posters here - loves any story where it can insinuate “Bad GOP is racist!!!” But Republican voters - including us “establishment types” who dream of Trump being vanquished - have grown quite immune to these histrionics, and it will not make the slightest difference in the primaries.

And because Haley is not prone to making these gaffes, in the highly unlikely event that she does win the nomination, this gaffe will be long forgotten by everyone who is not an employee of MSNBC, and can be easily deflected if resurrected in a debate.

Wow, what a bad take

I never said she’s in the MAGA camp, because I have never thought she was. But she’s doesn’t want to offend MAGA or their leader. And that’s no way to beat him.

And that is what I was pointing out from the beginning. I don’t think she’s racist and have never said so. I even pointed out that she was the governor who had the Confederate battle flag taken down from the capitol.

I don’t like how she doesn’t want to offend MAGA or Trump. That’s a loser strategy. MAGA is voting for Trump anyway. Show some damn guts.

Also, if you don’t think that, in the unlikely event she were to win the nomination, that the Democrats will hang this albatross around her neck, well, you’ve got another think coming.
