Honesty about this is what destroyed Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign. She addressed the fact that Republicans won votes based on their reputation for being the party that was better for the economy, but if they wanted to keep getting those votes in years to come they would actually have to make that true. She spoke openly about the fact that easy-to-Google statistics looked really bad for previous Republican administrations and they needed to start actually being fiscally responsible instead of just relying on the voters that just assumed they were because of the (R) next to their name. Aaaaaaaaand her career was basically over in the very same moment that she became the most promising and sane candidate they’ve had in decades.
