Trump is further ahead in the Republican field than Biden is in the Democratic. Nikki Haley is lower in the polls than I am, yet she is not called a “long shot” every time her name is mentioned. Why? Because she’s one of the club. (While I disagree with her politics I like her, by the way.) 1/4

The political-media elite manufacturers derision as well as consent, ensuring to the best of their ability that no one is considered qualified for higher office except those whose training is in maintaining and perpetuating the system as it is. 2/4

The qualification most needed at this time is not the ability to drive the car that drove us into the ditch; it’s the ability to drive us out of the ditch. The problem is not that we lack political car mechanics; the problem is that we are on the wrong road. 3/4

The political -media-industrial complex does not want anyone platformed in this contest who is willing to say that, because when people actually hear it the gig is up. I see it ever day - what people see versus what the system does not want them to see. I’m telling you, people are seeing it anyway… 4/4

You thought you were in the celebrity club from grifting stupid actors for a couple decades. Where are all your celebrity endorsements? You certainly are not in the small club of people who could actually run the US. Seems most people know that. You could possibly do better in the Republican Party.
Replying to @marwilliamson
FFS. Your ego is infinitely nauseating. If you truly gave a shit, you'd run for a local office and work within your community and gain governing experience but like a typical rich twat, you think you should be POTUS with no experience whatsoever.

Way to shoot yourself in the foot
Replying to @marwilliamson
Or maybe because she has some credentials. Ya know, actual governing experience. Whereas, you're a schlub who perennially runs for president when you're in need of attention and in between does nothing for 3 years.

Nicki has experience
Replying to @marwilliamson
What do you like about her besides the fact she’s a woman?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You like her?!!!!!!!! @NikkiHaley!! Is she not an evil, warmongering, self-serving psychopath? How could I have so misjudged her!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Are you self-aware enough to realize you've admitted to being "one of the club"?
Replying to @marwilliamson
No, it's because there's still meaningful movement in the Republican primary. The Democratic primary doesn't have that, so there's not an opportunity to flip the tables. But I grant she's also doesn't have a chance.
Replying to @marwilliamson
You have genius, but Nikki has an impossible to define (for me at least) personal quality that makes you (and me too) like her. There's a chance that the media is not being unfair to you, but simply perceptive.
