Yesterday's shenanigans on the House floor were so astounding and embarrassing that Nikki Haley must be grateful they happened on the same day that she came in second to "None Of The Above" in Nevada.
Maybe pundits won't pay her loss much mind, she must have hoped — particularly when they had utter Capitol Hill chaos to focus on and the spectacle of a bruised and stung Mike Johnson running far, far away from reporters at a speed that rivaled Josh Hawley's. (Sorry, Nikki, but it turns out they did notice Nevada after all.)
Benedict Donald mocked her humiliation, as is his wont — but rubbing Haley's nose in the dirt seemed to take on additional meaning this time, bolstering the contention of many that her veep chances are zero. Why should he pick her when he has so many other bowing and scraping sycophants to choose from?
One particularly pleasing bit of fallout from the Alejandro Mayorkas debacle will surely be the denting of Elise "Elsie" Stefanik as "possible running mate" material. Benedict Donald doesn't like what the entire Republican House leadership looked like — losers. (Never mind that Trump is one of the all-time most accomplished losers himself.) Elsie had stood at the lectern to proudly predict an imminently impeached Mayorkas, only to be proven embarrassingly wrong hours later.
Ohio freshman Senator and slavering right-wing nutjob JD Vance, who has been busy licking Trump's boots on TV (and getting tossed off one show because of it), must have been thrilled. To Elsie, we simply say: "Ma'am — we don't know about this whole veep thing, but please find some clothes that fit you." We cats HISS.
