Kurt Schlichter is the Don Rickles of conservative political columnists; he’s bitter, over-the-top nasty, and funny … don’t forget funny. Today he writes about the Nikki Haley candidacy, calling her “Nikki Harris” in a comparison with the hapless Kamala Harris and losers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.
The comparisons are overdrawn but, as is his custom, have enough truth to be damaging. Probably the most damaging is that she seems not to believe in much and be consultant-driven in choosing stands to take.
As others have noted, she’s not a believable culture warrior when that’s what many of us want our GOP standard bearer first and foremost to be. As I write this, the dude with the best proven culture warrior cred is Ron DeSantis.
