Nikki Haley: Trump Campaign is Too 'Bromance'

"This is not a time to have anyone criticize Puerto Rico or Latinos," Nikki Haley said Tuesday. "This is not a time for them to get overly masculine with this bromance things that they have got going. 53 percent of the electorate are women. Women will vote. They care about how they are being talked to and they care about the issues. They need to remember that."

The former South Carolina governor and GOP presidential candidate went on to say Hinchcliffe's remarks and the attacks Trump and his surrogates have lobbed at Harris' race and gender were hurting the campaign. She added she remained on "standby" to help the former president campaign, but that she had not heard from him since June.

"I mean, look, there is no reason to have a comedian at an election campaign event that had so much energy and so many good issues. Why have a comedian that separates people," Haley said. "This isn't about people being sensitive. Puerto Ricans, that's personal for them. They take that personally."

Thank goodness Trump failed to utilize the most influential woman in the Republican Party due to his own ego and misogyny even when she begrudgingly offered her help. Every single day we watch all the Trump bros falling over themselves in giddy joy because they think that men are going to deliver Trump a second term.

As Lee Corso says every college football Saturday, "Not so fast, my friend," you'd think that both 2018 and 2022 would have taught Trump that women are the key to every election in America because they have influence beyond just their numbers - but their numbers alone always dwarf those of men, and they faithfully show up to vote, especially when their own health and freedom are literally at stake.

It's 2 days from Roevember.

I thought the reversal of Roe was politically impossible, but here we are....and it's the first presidential election since this happened and we now have what many women have been saying they wanted their entire lives.

We have a whole new slew of restrictive laws on abortion depending on where you live. This is my question to all the women who wanted this........happy now?

Forget Trump for a minute and let's try to imagine a less abrasive and less POS candidate...hell, let's just imagine it's Nikki Haley.

The first republican campaign for president post-roe might seem "overly masculine" due to the notion that the republican party just delivered on a massive life-long campaign promise. Again......happy now?

Regardless of the candidate.

My message to Nikki is that you're a member of a party who's been promising this for 50 years...but you're whining the campaign is too masculine? This is what you wanted.........right?

Trumps message is garbage.

Trump said the rally at MSG was a love fest. Others, including Haley, are referring to it as a bromance. Doesn't this whole bromance meme build on the 2016 locker room talk characterization of Trump's grab them by the ----- comment? The Republican party hasn't been very female friendly ever since Trump took over.

Cadet Bonespurs, who can't even carry his own golf clubs, has to do something to appear manly.

How the republican campaign appears is why I thought Roe was safe.

Do you get the feeling the GOP is running on abortion? They have for the past 50 years and we all know what those campaigns looked like.

Now? I get the feeling the GOP is running from abortion. Not "on" it.

The other thread on the woman dying in Texas.....THAT is what this should be about. that should get rubbed in of the GOP but I don't really see that happening like it should.

As a group, there's nothing in the least bit "manly" about the endlessly whiney, self-pitying Trump and his mob of supine incels, betas and those who manipulate them.

Haley, like Mike Pence, has no political future. Sad that she has not acknowledged that fact, and continues to hold out hope that Der Dotard will point his jaundiced gaze in her direction ever again, even if only to thank her for the release of her primary delegates. If he gets to the White House again, Der Dotard will probably have a list of deportees with her name on it. Maybe not in the top 50, but on a list...

There's already a Magadu thread.

Nikki should have learned opera.

Bro-mance? More like Brokeback Mountain.

11. Exactly. Call it what it is, barely veiled homoeroticism. Just look at the nooner.

More vacuous and spiteful talk from a party that 'just likes to talk'.
The GOP has taken 'flinging red meat and a room full of hot air' at both
the cameras and its own adherents to a new level. So much so, that it
has started to believe its own rhetoric (even though in most cases it
lacks any knowledge or substance behind it). No surprise from a party
that started lying to the American Public in the 1980's, and who has only
doubled down on that lying every decade since, culminating in the reign
of the Orange Menace and the rise of the MAGA ------.

Here's a 'handful of crocodile tears' for a party choking on its own
refuse.

Nikki Haley should just stfu, she sold out her vote and soul. She is now completely irrelevant, the female equivalent to Linseed Gayham.
