        I love it when libs just stan Republican politicians because the TV man told them to. I had to talk my mother down from the merits of Chris Christie after a week of lifeline puff pieces from CNN on how "tough" he is against Trump.

        I could be wrong but from what I understood she was opposed to introducing a bill for a national abortion ban because it wouldn’t pass. I think her main opposition was strategic.

          She should've ran as a Democrat then, going against their voter bases' wants and needs in order to be "strategic" only to eat shit and die is their thing.

        Afaik she is anti-abortion but wants exceptions for a number of things. This was the standard republican position before Roe was overturned. Still probably the majority position but the nutzo evangelicals and trad caths have become all about removing any exceptions and prosecuting the woman involved in an abortion with murder, so Haley might as well be pro-choice to them.

        It's funny how the media played her up and she still came in behind meatball. They don't realize that people just lie on phone polls, it's why Ben Carson was the front runner for a bit early in 2016.
