A quick note: Nikki Haley takes issue
I don't think Nikki Haley will be the GOP nominee.
She won't be brutal enough to win the nomination.
But she raises some policy issues that Democrats should pay attention to.
I suspect the real GOP criticism of Biden will not be about policy. Policy talk will be the window dressing. The real, bumper-strip-size vulnerability of Biden among swing voters will be his capability. In a hundred different ways the GOP will call Biden senile, confused, incompetent, and weak. The campaign will say Americans cannot vote for him, even if they would like to, even if they dislike the alternative. It will be ugly. But amidst that, there are some issues.
In this first email of the day, Haley's campaign outlined some of them. Here is her letter:
Peter,
Since the moment Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office, his presidency has been marked by failure after failure.
Just to name a few (for time’s sake)→
Racking up nearly $5 trillion in new spending, helping fuel the worst inflation we’ve had in more than 40 years.
Overseeing the worst border crisis in history.
Wasting billions on climate change while making it harder for American energy producers.
Pushing policies to allow biological men to keep competing in women’s sports.
Expanding welfare without work.
Pushing burdensome regulations to crack down on gas stoves, gas-powered cars, and more.
Letting China walk all over us.
Overseeing a botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Canceling the Keystone XL pipeline.
…And NOW, he wants to run for another term?!
Let’s get one thing straight, Peter. This country cannot afford another term of Joe Biden, and I’m not going to wait around and let it happen.
