This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

That is my issue with Haley right now. by wpkirish

She is unquestionably better than Trump but not if she is still beholden to the MAGA types who are running the House. She has started to attack Trump more but from what I have seen has stopped short of calling him unfit or walking back her pledge to support him if he wins the nomination.

Even when she attacks him she does not come out and say he is unfit for office. Woke up in middle of the night and could not fall back asleep. Flipped on meet the press. The host asked her if the Carroll verdict disqualified Trump from the Presidency. Haley responded the voters not courts should decide who is qualified. The host pressed the question a couple times and got the same response. I thought it was very lawerly answer designed to keep both sides happy.

Welker should have asked if Haley believes a man convicted of sexually abusing a woman is unfit to hold the office. Probably would have gotten the same response but a more direct question.

If the issue is to defeat Trumpism and return the Republican Party to its former rational status I dont think that can happen while appealing to both sides.
