Nikki Haley tears into Trump for defending Putin and insisting
he hadn't 'killed people' after Navalny's death: Ex-president's
final rival unloads on his praise of the Russian leader

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley tore into former
President Donald Trump for previously defending Russian
President Vladimir Putin

Haley was responding to the news of the death of Russian
opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was imprisoned
in Siberia

'Putin murdered his political opponent and Trump hasn't said
a word after he said he would encourage Putin to invade our
allies,' Haley said Friday

. . .

Well, GIVE him a minute ... it's been a 300 megabuck
kangaroo court day for Trump. In any case Trump is NEVER
short on words - for better or worse - so we'll see.

Wouldn't have hurt if she also slagged on JOE'S
absolutely miserable and embarassing "words" on
the Navalny incident late this afternoon. Wow !
Clearly they didn't have time to fully medicate
him and prepare the flash-cards ......

Trump kinda DOES have a certain respect for Putin, but
it's not over what Putin DOES - it's that he's a strong
decisive leader in a world of wimpy directionless pols.
Remember that Trump also threatened Putin with DOOM early
in his presidency should he embark on military imperialism -
and Putin DID wait, until Joe ....

At least for the next year, Putin and Xi can do whatever
the hell they WANT to do - and they KNOW it.

Not good.

As for Haley ... she CAN capitalize both on Trump's
non-immediate response, Joe's non-response and
Putin's atrocities. While I don't see her as the
front-running candidate, she IS the best suited to
be the "backup candidate" if (more likely WHEN)
the Dems legally screw Trump. SHE can bring in those
vital cross-over votes that Trump never will.
Haley's real job now is to STAY IN THE PICTURE -
her time will come.

And Mr. Trump - if you really DO care about MAGA,
quit spitting poison at Haley. WHEN you can't run
SHE has to carry the flag.

Remember - when Navalny ran for Russian prez, Putin
harrassed, raided, attacked and then fabricated a
bunch of 'crimes' in order to make Navalny
ineligible to run. Sounds a bit familiar ......
