What he wanted was a desantis. What he's going to settle for is a pence cut out (let that sink in). They need the evangelicals. There's no path to victory for them in any state without that Gay..gay...gay....marriage.

I don't think so. If you think that, then you don't understand honest and sincere conviction imo. She has been waking people up to the China Threat - as she did on that Video I posted, where most of the others listening to her were skeptical and raising various objections; which she answered with the analogy of Europe having become dependent on Russia, which then caused a problem for them, and saying America should not become dependent on China in the same reason, but rather bolster Trade with India, Japan, Australia and other Allies and Democratic Countries - "in season and out of season", as it were. This is clearly something she genuinely believes and I think she's correct on that. As to the other things, I cannot speak to that, as you Americans would know better about it than me. From my understanding, a significant base of the GOP is White People, and therefore - I wouldn't be an expert on that - as a matter of politics, she has to show deference to Trump etc and to some who might be White Nationalists, I don't know. But I've listened to some videos of her speak, as well as read some of the things she did, and don't think she's inconsistent or "flip-flopping" on policy issues.

Democracy is a Good Ideology, not a Geographic Location. The sooner the Free World wakes up to the fact that we are in Cold War 2.0, and the New Evil Empire is Communist China (which doesn't even make a pretext of democracy; yet absurdly is a member of the UN Security Council; as for Russia under Putin, while it does have elections, it's not a true democracy in practice either, as shown by the fact that Putin has thrown Opposition Leader Alexey Navalny in jail, and killed Boris Nemtsov outside the Kremlin sometime ago, while sadly much of the world looked the other way with the classic modern philosophy/religion of I-dont-careism, which we're now regretting), the better for us all. If the UN and the world is to succeed where the League of Nations failed, and WWIII is to be prevented, then this must be done.
Thoughts?
"A few months after I left the United Nations, I gave a speech to the Asian Leadership Conference about communist China. I warned about its growing military power, its aggression and its threat to America’s survival. I urged U.S. leaders to “think about China critically, creatively and courageously.”

The same Governor and former UN Ambassador has also called for a formal US-India Alliance, which I agree with. It's in America's best interest to do so also imo, and would be good for both our countries, the US and India. Because she is an Indian-American, and has experience of both India and America, she has imo a fair perspective of the common threats the world faces both in the Transatlantic region and the Asia-Pacific.
"It’s Time to Formalize an Alliance With India
A U.S.-India alliance would allow both countries to expand their global strength."

Nikki Haley is an idiot and a con-artist. Of course she'd love to make an alliance with the neo-nazi Modi.
No, that's silly. Come May-June 2024, there may well be a New Government in India under Rahul Gandhi. In 2025, there may well be a New Government in America. What is important for World Peace and the safety and security of both the Indo-Pacific Region as well imo of the long term good of the US itself - given those stats I mentioned from the US diplomat, posting again below - is that the US-India Relationship continues strong, and imo, gets elevated to the Level of a Formal Military Alliance, as Nikki Haley and some others have proposed.
Here is what that US diplomat said again: " Washington: By 2030, India might lead the world in every category, a former top America's diplomat has said asserting that the two largest democracies of the world can do much together.
“I look out at the year 2030, for example, and I see an India that may lead the world in almost every category…the most populous nation, the most college graduates, the largest middle-class, the most cell phone and Internet users, along with the third-largest military and third-largest economy, all coexisting in the world's largest democracy, with 600 million people under the age of 25," Richard Verma said on Monday."

Showing deference to Trump and white nationalists should be a non-starter. But it really doesn't matter who their next president is. What matters is who controls the US Congress. And - while it's a long road to the election yet - things are currently looking positively grim for the GOP.

Boru Also, she will cave on to China the moment she gets her first paycheck from them. Note that will never happen as she will never be president.

Gosh, if Pearl Harbor was such a big threat maybe we should have applauded Japan for doing us a favor and bombing it.
