Nikki Haley will vote for Trump, trying to redeem her capitulation with a hope that he will appeal to the bloc who have kept voting for her in the primaries. Yikes. What a bunch of smarmy characters— doesn’t do much for one’s faith in leaders doing the right thing.
Maybe she’s angling for Veep?
Haley’s return to earth was predictable, I guess, but it still stings because she said so many derogatory things about Trump along the campaign trail that might have led one to believe she was charting her own course. Then she ends up saying she’ll vote for the guy anyway. Many will never understand the appeal, or the lack of backbone.
And then there’s Trump’s sudden wooing of a voting bloc that’s been voting for some other candidate. It’s cheap on the face of it. Any appeal will be transactional, an act of desperation, a conciliatory effort to get votes—not because he is genuinely selling anything that he believes, or that these voters will want to buy.
He’d just be saying stuff, trying to say the right things long enough to change minds and wear people down, not necessarily because he has any intention of following through. It’s a dirty, disgusting game of shallowness and deceit. Yeah, I had to use one of Trump’s favorite words. Seemed to fit here.
