[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] "Real Republicans" - those who hold to the traditional cornerstones - fiscal responsibility, strong foreign policy, conservative values - can take heart from the views held by one Journal columnist and their Editorial Board: [URL=https://www.wsj.com/articles/adults-on-the-gop-debate-stage-election-politics-debate-gop-ramaswamy-haley-pence-c37d985a?st=kw107rkgi9de6qj&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink]Kimberly A. Strassel[/URL]: [QUOTE]The good news for the party is that this was a solid event, showcasing several capable, qualified and at times inspiring contenders for the Oval Office. Donald Trump chose to duck the debate, and one consequence was that he was largely reduced to an afterthought. The eight participants instead sparred over their own differences—on domestic policy, global involvement, priorities and qualifications. Nikki Haley was notably adult. The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador showed a command not only of policy issues, but of her own convictions. She broke with the others to make a compelling case for Republicans to approach the divisive issue of abortion with more compassion, and to leave the tough particulars to the states. She called instead for federal lawmakers to focus on widely held “consensus” views—on late-term abortions, the merits of adoption, the need for available contraception.[/QUOTE][URL=https://www.wsj.com/articles/nikki-haley-gop-presidential-debate-donald-trump-tim-scott-mike-pence-abortion-spending-2125403c?st=vj7ts4thbzobyjx&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink]Editorial Board[/URL]: [QUOTE]Ms. Haley’s honesty didn’t stop there. “Donald Trump added $8 trillion to our debt,” she said. “You look at the 2024 budget: Republicans asked for $7.4 billion in earmarks. Democrats asked for $2.8 billion. So you tell me who are the big spenders.” Those figures are backed by a Roll Call story last month: “House Republicans have so thoroughly stacked the earmarking deck in their favor in appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year that the top Democratic recipient doesn’t even appear in the top 60.” Then there was the elephant not in the room, as Fox News host Bret Baier put it, meaning former President Trump. “Three-quarters of Americans don’t want a rematch between Trump and Biden,” Ms. Haley said. “And we have to face the fact that Trump is the most disliked politician in America. We can’t win a general election that way.”[/QUOTE]All told; "Nikki, Nikki, she's our gal." [/QB][/QUOTE]
