Remember when our betters in the Never Trump movement thumbed their noses at Republicans who voted for Trump and claimed it was because they were conserving conservatism? Yeah? That was super not helpful and of course, a total crock.
They have figured out the real money is in pretending to be a conservative whose principles DROVE THEM to call out their fellow conservatives and to LEAVE their beloved party to put the country FIRST.
So BRAVE.
So STUNNING.
So FULL OF IT.
Case in point:
"A pro-choice policy won’t give you the satisfaction of decreeing an end to abortion. It will challenge you to find other ways to prevent abortions, by working with women, not against them. But it will honor the principles Nikki Haley articulates." https://t.co/6ZrJ01t2hr

Gotta love the scolding tone of this piece with a dash of finger-wagging.
I'm sure the Left loved this.
From The Bulwark:
On Tuesday night, Sean Hannity enlisted Haley to coach the party on abortion. “What is your message to Republicans around the country, especially if they want to win in swing states?” he asked. The next morning on Fox & Friends, Ainsley Earhardt invited Haley to describe her position in more detail. “You gave a fabulous answer . . . that can attract the independents, that can even attract the Democrats,” said Earhardt, teeing her up.
What is Haley’s secret recipe? She says no woman should be jailed for getting an abortion. She says we should take the issue out of Washington, respect each woman’s personal experience, and let the people closest to the issue decide.
She’s right about these principles. And there’s a simple policy that would honor them. It’s called freedom of choice.
So they're basically calling Nikki Haley pro-choice.
Thinking hat will NOT help her in Conservative circles.
"True Conservatism is murdering babies."
