..................

“A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris you know that and I know that,” Haley said during an appearance on “Good Morning America” this week. “There is no way Joe Biden is going to finish his term. I think Kamala Harris is going to be the next president and that should send a chill up every American’s spine.”

“Excuse me,” Stephanopoulos interjected. “One second about that, how do you know that Joe Biden is not going to finish his term? What is that based on?”

“Ask Americans,” Haley replied. “We look at the decline he’s had over the last few years. You have to be honest with the American people, George, there’s no way that Joe Biden is going to finish out a next term. We can’t have an 81-year-old president.”

Haley, who is trailing former President Trump and several other GOP hopefuls in most national primary polls, has routinely attacked Biden, 80, over his age, saying in April that she did not think he would “make it” to 86....................................................................................................

1. My father is 87.

He only just started slowing down.

It's fucking disrespectful to say that shit out loud, and I say that as one of DU's occasional Ageists. I have NOT seen this "decline" she's referencing.

And regardless, a Harris Presidency is bad, why? Because she's not white? Because she's a woman? Because she's a "San Francisco Liberal"?

[riversedge]

34. She is one who has mentioned it several times that I am award of. Nasty woman to say the least.

[calimary]

38. My mom made it to 90.

[onlyadream]

57. My mom is 90 and still chops trees down

We tried to take away her chain saw. 😂

[Dulcinea]

69. My grandfather was still climbing up on his roof to clean the gutters in his 80s.

The only thing that slowed him down was a stroke at age 92.

[Skittles]

90. he's simultaneously "in decline"

yet capable of doing "tremendous damage" - repukes cannot keep their stories straight

[maxsolomon]

96. No need to. They lie on all sides of any issue as it suits them.

They don't have any use for discourse based on facts.

[dchill]

2. Oh. So I'm picking between Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris...

Seems really easy to me! Haley is a poison pill as a candidate and a human being.

[3Hotdogs]

11. Yeah, it's between Kamala and Sidney Powell.

[Scottie Mom]

46. Agree 1,000%

Gawd forbid Joe Biden passes away while POTUS. But I feel this country is protected, lucky and honored with having Kamala Harris to step up. She will carry on his with his goals and traditions IMO.

[Hortensis]

53. Agree. Poison pill Haley's the "spine shiver."

[getagrip_already]

3. Personally.....

I'm just fine with Joe serving however long of a second term he wants.

I'm fuzzy on how pres terms work, but it would be nice if kamala could still serve two full 4 year terms in addition to what's left of Joe's term.

But, I'm not greedy.

I also don't have any spine shivers.

[3825-87867]

7. If Joe leaves after two years into his second term

Kamala is legible to serve two full terms if elected in addition to filling out the rest of Biden's term.

[getagrip_already]

15. That's what I thought but

I remember being corrected on that once. Something about it not being 10 years but 2 elections. Something like that.

I'll look it up when I get a chance.

[3825-87867]

21. Twenty-Second Amendment

Section 1

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

41. I Would Love to See Her as President!

No shade on Joe, he is doing a great job. But if she were one day to be president, I would be soooo happy!

[3825-87867]

4. What if she's elected and

there's some possibity that Haley might not live out her term?

Better not take the cchance! She shouldn't run!

Don't vote for her! Heaven (or wherever), she might not finish her term!

[Beartracks]

37. We're supposed to scared of a Harris administration. Insert eyeroll here. n/t

[colorado_ufo]

55. OK, I'm going to sing it.

Haley at the debate looks as though she has lost a lot of weight! She almost looks anorexic. Compare her prior photos to the image of her at the GOP debate. She does not look well. Very, very stressed.

[onecaliberal]

5. Fuck Haley and her fake bullshit.

[Glorfindel]

6. I'd be thrilled and delighted if Kamala Harris is the next president.

After President Biden finishes his second term and enters into a long, well-deserved retirement, loved admired, and respected by all who matter. (a la Jimmy Carter).

[BOSSHOG]

29. That's exactly what will happen if we get rid of the electoral college

And most likely will happen if we don’t.

The good folk of our country don’t need the antiquated literally useless electoral college. It’s current purpose is to ensure a Republican President every 4, 5 or 6 elections.

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Haley is a big hypocritical asshole

First, whether he stays the entire term or not, he'll do his best to be a President to all of America - not just the hating magats.
Second, there would be nothing wrong with Kamala Harris as President. I would much prefer her to that trump loving indian heritage denying idiot repug from Sour Carolina.

[mountain grammy]

9. Hey Haley

You suck! and you look way older than you are! What is she? 50? 60? who the hell cares?

[Lucky Luciano]

47. I think Haley looks great...until her personality shows itself.

[tanyev]

10. And???

[Hekate]

12. JFK died in office & he was in his 40s. Just sayin', Nikki. FDR died in office age 63. Idiot woman.

Jimmy Carter survived office and is now almost 100.

What is your point, Nikki?

[LoisB]

13. Dear Nikki, unlike your Orange god, President Biden would not run if he didn't think he could

handle the responsibilities of the office. Unlike your Orange god, President Biden has a thing called "integrity" but you folks wouldn't know anything about that.

[COL Mustard]

83. And Dark Brandon isn't

Running (literally or figuratively) from Justice.

[LoisB]

84. Correct!

[delisen]

14. Nikki Haley: the death whisperer

Don’t let her visit any nursing homes. Keepher away from assisted living sites. She will move on the residents like Covid.

[yliza]

16. She says that like it's a bad thing

I’d be more than happy with President Harris, thank you very much

[Think. Again.]

30. I completely agree.

[calimary]

39. So do I.

We could do a HELLUVA LOT worse.

And we HAVE.

[zanana1]

81. So would I.

[Mr.Bill]

17. What makes her think any Biden voter

would rather have any one of those idiots on the debate stage be president?

It's amusing watching someone with Indian ancestry trying to get bigots to vote for her.

[JohnSJ]

18. It would be karma if karma struck Haley. For this alone, she is not a good person

and as others have mentioned, VP Harris would make a fine President in 2028

[Thunderbeast]

19. This nonsense from a party that happily supported Reagan...

...as he faded into dementia.

[Astraea]

20. Yeah?

So what, Nikki? We, the People, voted for Joe Biden AND Kamala Harris. We all know that if Joe died tomorrow, she'd become president.

What's your point?

[Think. Again.]

31. That was my first thought after...

...reading that she said: “A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris you know that and I know that,”

Someone tell her they are on the same ticket, so, yeah.

[onetexan]

22. I get the feeling opportunistic Haley is jealous of Kamala

[calimary]

40. I think you're right.

[PunkinPi]

45. Exactly this. nt

[LenaBaby61]

75. I get the feeling opportunistic Haley is jealous of Kamala.

Extremely jealous of Kamala.

Nimrata whitened herself up. Changed her name to a more Anglo-Saxon name. Whitewashed herself and she's still totally irrelevant, over looked, laughed at and expected to fetch the male GQP'ers coffee if they ask her.

Nimrata, creepy Jindal and the other lying, con man token Swammy are in the same GQP US TALIBAN token row boat together and sinking FAST.

[onetexan]

77. THIS!!☝️couldn't agree more.

[NNadir]

23. She's prematurely senile.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

24. Jeez, what an a$$hole!

Covfefe!

[paleotn]

25. She thinks she's being clever.

Wonder if she's still cheating on hubby? Not that it's any of our business, but the GQP is the party of the "nuclear family" after all.

[NH Ethylene]

26. I'm not fully sold on President Harris, only because I haven't seen her in action enough.

But I am quite certain she would do a better job than any Republican and, most importantly, she would do her best to serve the interests of this nation.

[area51]

27. Sure, Nimrata Randhawa.

If age scares you, why did you serve under #DementiaDonnie, and why won't you bring up his age now?

[flamingdem]

28. She's a real creep!

Apart from her rah rah military patriotism she's just like the rest of the rotten bunch!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. And what's wrong with that

I'd rather have Kamala (the name means lotus flower) than someone who's ashamed of their ethnicity Nimrata.

[Astraea]

33. What is her problem with Kamala anyway?

It's not like her views are very different from Joe Biden. She hasn't been rocking the boat.

So I wonder what the real reason could be.... hmm.... let me think!

[JI7]

36. Warning the Racists a black woman could be President

and the only way to stop that is by voting for a wannabe white woman like her.

[steelyboo]

35. I wish she would make up her damn mind

She says 65 is way too young for us to retire, but by 81, we are apparently useless shells. What's her plan? We work until 78, get 2 years to enjoy the "Golden Years", then she takes out back and puts us down?

[AZLD4Candidate]

42. My grandmother died at 94. My great-grandmother died at 100. Hey Nikki, GFY.

Worthless ageist skazwag.

[ouija]

43. I would have simply asked, "Are you God?" How do you know?

[Lonestarblue]

44. I've been waiting for someone to roll out this attack on Joe's age.

Republicans will paint Biden as having one foot in the grave, and Harris will step into the presidency. To conservatives, it was bad enough to have a black man as president, but a black woman would send them right over the edge since they think a woman’s only use is to have babies.

[NGeorgian]

48. At 81 Jimmy Carter was building houses and.........

writing books.

[randr]

49. She will be next after Biden

After his second term

[byronius]

50. Great American outcome.

Kamala has always been my first pick. Smart, tough, kind, thoughtful. She’d be an awesome president.

[czarjak]

51. Says a Spine-Chiller

[Turbineguy]

52. She's thinking like a republican

where all they want is a brown-noser for a VP

[Hortensis]

54. :) As said, over 81M Americans ALREADY chose Biden and Harris.

I admired her as a senator, was less impressed as a candidate, but feel very good that her years on the job as Biden's "assistant president" are adding unmatchable experience to her own abilities. Other candidates bring their own experience, but not for this job.

[colorado_ufo]

56. She was one who raised her hand that she would support Trump

at the GOP debate! Does she even know how old he is?

[robbob]

58. Where's the "sparring"?

He interjects a mild clarification question (“How do you know he won’t finish his term”), which allows her to spout more lies about Bidens declining health. I don’t call that sparring, I call that enabling.

[Deep State Witch]

59. You Say That

Like it's a bad thing, Nikki. What, you don't like women of color? Look in the mirror.

[OldBaldy1701E]

60. I have one thing to say to 'Hallway Haley'...

We could be so lucky!

[zanana1]

61. We can't have an 81year-old president, huh?

Trump is 77; only four years younger.

[OhioTim]

64. And A Whole Lot

crazier

[Ray Bruns]

62. 'Kamala Harris is going to be the next president'

I'm ok with that. I voted for her in the primary.

[MichMan]

88. Just curious why you chose her over Joe Biden?

Hadn't she withdrawn from the race before the first primary ?

[OhioTim]

63. MSM Treats Haley

like she's a normal person. Stephanopolis (sp) should have said, "at least she's not a criminal".

[ZonkerHarris]

65. gotta attack his age because the economy is doing well.

[AwakeAtLast]

66. Yes she is!

Right after Biden's second term! Thanks so much for the vote of confidence Haley!

[Martin68]

67. Apparently overlooked in all the brouhaha is the fact that Haley expects Biden to win...

71. *ding*ding* We have a winner! nt

[FeelingBlue]

68. Tell this...

To my 94 year old dad- who tears the NYT every day.

[JustAnotherGen]

70. She needs to stop talking

That little snot is not fit to drink Kampala Harris' dirty bathwater.

[CBHagman]

72. Has she decided ageism is her superpower?

Really, when I consider how the president has managed things in a perfectly horrendous time to be commander-in-chief, I'm impressed. I expect it's down to skill sets, temperament, experience, and the team.

[Attilatheblond]

73. ROFL @ her round about way of admitting they got nuttin on Joe

She knows he's been a good, honest public servant and is campaigning against the woman of color* to tap into GOP voter racism instead of trying to defame Biden.


*Which is pretty damned funny coming from Name Changer Haley

[LenaBaby61]

74. Worthless token Nimrata's parents are old. I wonder if they're getting ready to drop dead?

Asking for a friend

[karynnj]

76. One good way that could happen Biden wins and the VP runs znd wins in 2028

Kamala Harris is then the next President

[maliaSmith]

78. ageism

Dimrata doesn't like seniors who are smart and in good shape. She is just another wanna be who thinks she'll be president by attacking Joe's age.

[ShepKat]

79. I don't see an issue with this

honestly- she thinks she's better than Kamala ? HA !
Kamala will be 60 by the next election,
whats'her'name just turned 50 maybe ?

[Novara]

80. She has a sick obsession with Kamala Harris

It's fucking weird.

[duhneece]

82. Clint Eastwood

He’s an ass politically but he made some great movies after he was Biden’s age.

[ificandream]

85. How sure is she that the Republican Dumbo will make it to the end of a second term?

Given his obesity, for one, I'd say he's a good candidate for a heart attack. Maybe overdue. Is there a doctor in the house who wants to address that?

[mzmolly]

86. Well given Kamala gets to decide, according to RW fanatics,

why not?

[calimary]

87. Wishful thinking, Nikki-baby?

I wonder if anybody in school called her "Icky Nikki"? It certainly fits, lo these many years later.

[Marthe48]

89. If only we get that lucky

I had a friend who pulled her mouth like haley does in the pic. Not encouraging.

[truthisfreedom]

91. Projecting like all repukes. She knows her only shot at

Pretending to play president is as a veep candidate under one of the ridiculous repuke males.

[quaker bill]

92. mark me unconcerned

while Harris might not be my first choice, she would be vastly better than any of the republicans running, if it comes to that. My dollar however says Biden will serve the full term. He is still sharper than most of the folks he has to deal with.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

95. Welcome to DU

[Arthur_Frain]

94. She just killed any chance of being the nominee.

Ageism doesn’t wash with the folks in the age group she’s denigrating.

She lost a ton of voters pushing that statement.
