We cats were hoping to take a pass on writing or even thinking about Nimrata Randhawa Haley, because she is ridiculous and offends us. But then, the entire GOP does, too, so what else can we do?
It's not just that she tries to pretend that she isn't a sycophant to Benedict Donald — dancing around his 2024 candidacy by calling for a "new generation" of Republican leaders, and claiming that she's sure Trump would pass her proposed over-70 cognitive test. (Anybody remember her being concerned that Strom Thurmond was still representing her state in the Senate at age 100? Neither do we.) It's also that, with the exceptions of Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and a few other awful places, the US really doesn't need to look more like South Carolina.
And who needs another person joining the dubious ranks of Republicans who try to reinvent themselves? Raphael Cruz is quite enough, thanks.
But there's one thing about Nimrata that may make her stand out. It's tempting to think that the GOP girls who are either hinting at running or frantically trying to raise their political profiles — Kari Lake or Kristi Noem come to mind — are actually vying to be Benedict Donald's Vice President. It might even be tempting to think Nimrata is, too. But no. Haley's in it to be Ron DeSantis's running mate. We cats HISS.
