    On the one hand, if Nikki Haley does manage to dethrone Trump and get the republican nomination the US will be in a better place. (I don’t think she is capable of cultivating a cult-like mentality like Trump so she won’t be a dictator.)

    On the other hand, I can foresee a scenario where she is a very difficult opponent for Biden to overcome and actually win the White House. That would pretty much guarantee Project 2025 happening.

        If Trump is out of the picture, then yes because she will be their best option.

        The problem with that though is I don’t see Trump going quietly into the night. He would need to completely humiliate himself in front of his supporters for them to abandon him. How that could happen I have no idea…

          A non-white immigrant would be their best option?

          Nah. The true maga believers (not your garam variety collaborationist Rs) would stay home. It would be a huge betrayal.
