    The former president again took a mild shot at Haley in an interview with Hugh Hewitt earlier this month, saying, "Nikki suffers from something that's a very tough thing to suffer from: She's overly ambitious."

    Trump said someone's overly ambitious.

    OK

    His normally brilliant insight is slightly askew.

      I think it's fair to say that Trump suffers from something that's a very tough thing to suffer from, too. Tough for everybody else, at least.

      I was only joking

          I don't see her going anywhere. DeSantis has the best shot, but I don't know how he could cleave enough of Trump's base to beat him in the primaries.

          On the other side, I don't have a clue who they will run. I do believe it ain't gonna be Biden.

          I don’t think it gets that far. I think you’ll see something where they rally around the best possible non-trump candidate. There will likely be an intervention similar to the one the Dems pulled to kill off Bernie’s candidacy, only earlier in the process.

          Ultimately, though, Trump’s base is nowhere near as big as it once was.

            I agree it's not as big, but I think he's got a solid 30%. And that can win a primary.

                If a candidate can sound like 2016 Trump, without all the Trump baggage, they could take it away from him.

                      I think it's fair to say that Trump suffers from something that's a very tough thing to suffer from, too. Tough for everybody else, at least.

                          Saw a clip in which she says, "We'll have mandatory term limits for congress."

                          Um... (former) Governor Haley, that's a constitutional thing. Might wanna look that up.

                          "We'll have mandatory cognitive tests..."

                                        Nikki is a nickname in punjabi meaning "small one". Common for some people's nickname to stick with them throughout their life.

                                        Mary comes out looking like an idiot to Indians, but might resonate with people who think Nimrata can't be her "authentic self" and also be Republican.

                                          I think we should have voter literacy tests.

                                          I am OK with that as long as I get to decide what questions to ask in such tests and what the correct answers are for those questions.

                                          When the time comes, ask me. I have given this thought.
