In a sure sign of how messed up our politics have become, almost no one has an appetite Trump vs. Biden 2.0.
A rematch is what we are almost certain to get, and any punch that weakens Trump will strengthen Biden.
Her blows are another weapon for the Biden campaign which will focus on attacking Trump rather than defending the president's wobbly record.
Elections are choices and Haley's focus on Trump's character tears another page from Democrats' playbook as it effectively gives a pass to Biden's disturbing behavior.
Despite serial denials, he was an active participant in his son Hunter's influence-peddling schemes with unsavory foreign governments, and he helped secure victory in 2020 by falsely casting Hunter's laptop as a "Russian plant." While it is fair to criticize Trump for continuing to allege the 2020 election was rigged, Biden himself undermined faith in the electoral system by advancing the smear that Trump was an illegitimate president, claiming he conspired with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.
Jan. 6 is a black mark on Trump's record, but the years-long effort by Biden and other Democrats to corrupt the levers of power - especially the DOJ and the impeachment process - to essentially negate a free and fair election was also a grave threat to our democracy.
Even if Haley believes Trump's character is worse than Biden's, is Trump's defeat worth the price of four more years of Biden's policies? If Biden had led as promised - a middle-of-the-road liberal committed to uniting the country - a Republican could perhaps be tempted to answer yes.
