Republican voters who are considering supporting Haley told CNN they welcome the fact that she doesn’t lead with her gender as she campaigns, but many said her experience as a mother and a military spouse were part of her appeal.
They would be dumb enough to think "military spouse" somehow makes her qualified for anything...
So… she was a dependa?
YOU WILL ADDRESS HER BY HER HUSBAND'S RANK!
Qualified for tricare and commissary privileges.
As a 🦅conservative®🦅, I don't see gender.
It makes dating difficult because i still hate homosexuals and have had to break up with partners when i found out they were ones.
She's still an insane piece of shit.
I know very little about her, but the fact that she's a republican presidential candidate and referenced Thatcher in a positive way told me all I need to know.
Smart choice. Both because Republicans don't think being a woman is an asset, and also because gender/sex should not be a political selling point
Nikki Haley’s ~~gender is~~ rarely mentioned
i watch Futurama on Hulu to sleep every night, and she's got a couple ads that come up very frequently and it pisses me off how fucking stupid, yet effective her message is to idiots. it's literally just "china BAD." then I can't sleep. then by the time I'm almost asleep again. boom. Nikki Haley. rinse and repeat.
Haley: Climate change is real… Me: Oh? Haley: But what about China! Me: Oh…
Vague platitudes with no action is American politics 101.
Ey yall want federal abortion bans, lgbt bans, and further stripped environmental protections? Keep advertising this monster on here
They know the supporters.
Margaret Thatcher said, ‘If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman,’”
Sexism in reverse is still sexism.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
When Nikki Haley took the Republican presidential debate stage alongside her seven male rivals last month, she shone a spotlight on her gender only once – evoking a former British prime minister.
Republican voters who are considering supporting Haley told CNN they welcome the fact that she doesn’t lead with her gender as she campaigns, but many said her experience as a mother and a military spouse were part of her appeal.
GOP strategists say that by simply showing up as who she is, and weaving elements of her gender into her pitch, Haley is likely to boost her support among suburban female voters – a constituency that helped fuel President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020.
“There’s no need for her to light her hair on fire and [stress] the fact that she’s a woman because she uses her ability and experience as a way to connect with voters,” said GOP strategist Alice Stewart, a CNN political commentator who advised former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann on her 2012 presidential bid.
When Haley, a former US ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, speaks on the campaign trail about personal experiences that have informed her policy positions, she underscores her identity as a mother, wife and female politician.
“I think there are two key issues that she addressed on the debate stage that are helping in fueling their fundraising drive, and the nuanced position on abortion is one and her strong support for Israel,” Stewart said.
