Nikki Haley? Be Serious.

The Koch bunch will 'mobilize' behind Gov. Haley.  Surber has something to say about that--and there's a surprise at the end of this quotation:

...In 2016, [Haley] used her spot as the Republican response to Obama’s State of the Union address to attack Donald Trump.

She said, “During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.”

And nearly 8 years later, she collected her reward as the presidential candidate of Never Trumpville, where it is all about cheap labor and the illegal aliens who provide it. If open borders also bring in fentanyl, gang bangers and terrorists, Koch and the rest don’t care because they can afford private security.

What likely cost DeSantis the Never Trumpville endorsement is the Never Trumpvillains are uncomfortable with his willingness to take on social issues. No one wants a puppet who can think.

Plus, maybe the RINOs believe he would have a better chance than her of winning next November....

That's as close as Surber has ever come to an endorsement of DeSantis.  But given what Haley/Koch stand for, DeSantis is certainly preferable.

That said:  Trump still walks away with itThere will be massive election fraud, of course; but can it overcome a likely Democrat-voter turnout problem?  Or Democrat voters who vote against Biden?

Heh.
