> [@PhillyGuy](#): > > Maybe she is thinking Trump could appoint her Secretary of State, and that she could exercise some control over him in office. That’s what people said when Trump got elected the first time. He’s a crazy idiot but he’ll have good people guiding him. Instead, Trump uses people and tosses them aside. He refuses to listen to people who don’t tell him what he wants to hear. He carries printouts of opinions favorable to him like a toddler with a security blanket. She will have zero influence over him and would be his puppet or will get replaced. ---

Nikki is over in Israel writing the words “Finish Them” on bombs.

Poor choice of wording; if she’d just written “Finish **Hamas** ” it could have avoided massive misunderstanding. ---

I have it on good authority that she intended to write: > Finish the most regrettable taking of human life and end the threat of Hamas for both the sake of the Israeli people living with this threat and the long-suffering Palestinians caught in the middle. But she ran out of ink after “Finish the m”. Oops! ---

You how when Mike Pence ran for president and _everyone_ but the man himself knew he was 100% doomed to abject, embarrassing failure? Nikki’s suffering from the same syndrome. So, Nikki, if you’re listening: “Jackass, you sold out your dignity for NOTHING and you will NEVER be president, you will never be anything more than you already have been because you stand for fucking NOTHING, you spineless wretch!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nikki-haley-announces-us-presidential-run-for-2024-not-trump-please/979953.md?page=42) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nikki-haley-announces-us-presidential-run-for-2024-not-trump-please/979953.md?page=44)
