I'm sure Haley couldn't point out a single instance where Trump tried to reach out and appeal to voters who were not in his cult. (If she wants to consider his "outreach" to black people, sheesh...) We all know his "earning" of her endorsement would look like this:

Haley: What do you have to say to me and the millions of Republicans who are not yet ready to support you?

Trump: Go fuck yourselves.

Haley: Ok, good enough for me! Can I get that ambassadorship to Upper Volta?

Had she been a forceful voice against MAGA and Trumpism, she'd have still lost, but she'd have likely scored more delegates, convinced a LOT more non-Republicans to cross and vote for her in primaries (perhaps winning more than just Vermont) and set herself up as a leader in an eventual post-Trump GOP. Instead, she just comes across as a limp noodle, not really knowing what she is for or against.

““It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party who did not support him, and I hope he does,” she said. “This is now his time for choosing.”“ - “I hope he does,” should be written on her fucking tombstone. That’s her endorsement without “endorsing”. What, exactly, does she think that overflowing sack of rancid horse manure is going to do to appeal to voters, with their stubbornly functional senses and prefrontal cortex, who have already soundly rejected him? I refuse to accept that any Republican who refuses to publicly denounce that rapidly decompensating and decomposing traitor for the vile puddle of sludge that he is is doing so for “the good of the country” or “the will of the people” or whatever lies they tell themselves so they can sleep at night. And since that is most of them, they can all fuck right off. Haley most of all. She was the last person standing in the R primary and could have made a decision to call him out for being a treasonous hateful criminal fuck who insulted her husband. (Insulting the spouses of his opponents is a trademark of his. Perhaps because all of his have hated him before he buries them on a golf course.) I wouldn’t dare to presume she’d go so far as to endorse Biden because heaven forbid, the American law of political tribalism won’t allow that. But she could have spoken the truth, or a reasonably facsimile of. Maybe it would destroy her political future in the treason party but so fucking what? If Shitstain gets in again he’ll destroy the country. It’s a more than reasonable risk. But nope, she’s a coward, and an opportunist, and a liar who claims, with a straight face, that decent, competent empathetic Joe Biden is somehow “more dangerous”. I think “more dangerous” is just code for Democrat. She’s no better than all the rest of them and she deserves to lose.
