Nikki Haley: "We've never been a racist country."

WTAF? A former Governor of the first State to secede and the first to fire a shot in the Civil War claims that the USA has never been a racist country?

WT(A)F ?

The 'A' stands for absurd, perhaps ?

The Koch family PAC is against Trump in Kansas, and they run the show. Niki was our only hope, after Pence bailed.

Our six electoral votes go where that PAC says. Media manipulation.

What The Actual Fuck?

So, do you vote exactly as the Koch's tell you to? And if you don't, what makes you think others do?

A Republican has carried the State of Kansas since Ike Eisenhower.

Biden is not even under consideration. The Koch's are going to spend $17 million against Trump. That's a lot of money.

The 40% loyal Trumpkins are going to rebel against the Koch PAC, unless they cave in.

It's a mess.

The fact that a given state is reliably one party or the other is hardly a new or threatening phenomena. Indeed, it's largely true for most states other than the so-called "swing" states of which there are only seven.

As for some rich conservatives opposing Trump, all I can say is that it's about time.

Very interesting.

Did you notice that your link does not mention the crux of the 2000 election, that it went to the US Supreme Court for a decision ? It's language makes reference to that year being something of a 'watershed', before and after.

Just about 60,000 people voted in Iowa primary yesterday and Nikki Haley had spent over $30 Million in advertising.
What a waste!
