As Trump snarkily dismissed Hillary Clinton’s impeccable vaunted establishment credentials in 2016, “sure, she’s got experience. But it’s bad experience.”

This can also be applied to Nikki Haley.

Kind of like the guy who has driven automobiles for 50 years, including ten arrests for driving under the influence and half a dozen crashes, lots of experience.

Much like Kamala Harris in 2020, Haley is not in the race to win so much as she is in to get the right kind of attention from People Of Influence And Authority, by saying the things the bigwigs want to hear, and thus to position herself for Bigger And Better Things.

Also like Kamala Harris, Haley is as ambitious as Lucifer, and about as unprincipled.

Haley, Trump, Desantis ... Cream certainly doesn't rise to the top in the political world. I guess it comes down to this. What sane, kind, insightful person would ever put themselves in the viper pit? Thus it is we keep electing the vipers.

At least Desantis shows some administrative skills. The problem is, as president he may put those skills to bad uses in the foreign policy sphere.

Indeed. Based on what Daniel's has written about Desantis, it seems he will continue the descent into the abyss.
