Former UN ambassador under Donald Trump Nikki Haley announces her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election

As of now she and her former boss Donald Trump remain the only announced Republican candidates for 2024

Expectations are high Florida Governor Desantis will also announce in the coming months. Currently former president Trump has a large lead in opinion polls for the Republican nomination and any challenge is sure to be an uphill battle

If selected former Governor Haley would be the first female presidential nominee fielded by the republican party

What do you think? Who will be the republican nominee in 2024?

Trump 43%
DeSantis 31%
Haley 4%

So she is behind a factor of 10 or so, but I think that's why she announced early - hoping to increase her name recognition ahead of the primaries

the only way I see Haley. even realistically, in the running is if either trump or desantis bail and throw their support behide Haley out of spite so the other one does not win easily..
but I don't see that Happening as trump is going to use Running as an excuse why he can not be indicted

Campaign could also be a ploy to get a cabinet job once she drops out ala Buttigieg

that was my first thought but Headlines are trying to put Haley as "taking on trump, as a woman of color"...I would wait to see what trump has to say about it, as if he Jumps to attack her or/and if she joins trump mocking desantis... a position will seem unlikely. Example = Ted Cruz's horse face wife.

He already attacked her, something about how she is following her heart and not her honor

Anyhow Trump scuffled with all sorts of people in 2016 who he eventually became bedmates with so I wouldn't rule it out

Kamala for instance said nasty things about Biden and look at her now

She lied so many times she has even less chances of winning than Pence (which is none). DeSantis looks as though he'll lose to Trump and instead should have been his VP, oh well.

I'm not saying Trump will win, it just doesn't look good for DeSantis, Pence, or Haley.

Imagine believing you can win the Republican primary as a woman. Might as well be a gay black man.

Hey @x65943, please unlock the Trump indictment thread. There will be updates to it I need to post tomorrow, and it's better if there's only one thread on the topic.

I remember that centuries ago there was a guy that launched himself as candidate saying just that the rent was too expansive. Even his party name was about the rent.

I wonder where is he now, because the rent got way worse since then.

He is my favorite candidate (even that I'm not US citizen, never wanted to be and spent just 15 days of my life in the USA).

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it

    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made

    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.

    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
