Haley campaign: DeSantis, Ramaswamy ‘fall all over themselves’ to copy Trump

Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign bashed her GOP competitors Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday, accusing them of trying to copy former President Trump.

Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said in a memo that Haley has not been afraid to be open about the areas in which she agrees and disagrees with the former president and that she is the only one who can defeat him and President Biden.

“Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy fall all over themselves to copy Trump on everything from policy to his leadership style,” Ankney said.

It's funny watching a woman appeal for power to people who think the only place she should be is in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant serving her husband. Just wild.
- If that's the center of the Republican party today, you should be voting for the traditional center of the Republican party, the Democrats.

  If you are a centrist republican then the only option is Biden. Even centrist republican politicians share many policies that echo policies of Nazi Germany, and the radical republicans that are running the party have been trying very hard for full on fascism.
  
  I don't think that's really true. In particular, I think most or all of the saner/more stable/more centric Republicans abandoned the party in the wake of Trump's insanity and are now Independents. Because only the lunatic fringe stayed on the ship, it's now genuinely a lunatic fringe party overall.
And you plan to do what different, exactly?
- Nuzzle his orange grundle even harder!

  I freaking love the use of orange grundle
Something something broken clock? Only time they make sense is when it serves them
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The memo comes two weeks after the first Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee, in which Haley’s performance received praise from many observers.
She had several memorable moments during the night, including a clash with Ramaswamy over foreign policy and a branding of Trump as the “most disliked politician in America.”
She has also stayed in the news following the debate, saying she does not expect the country to be willing to vote for Trump if he is convicted in any of the four criminal cases against him and continuing to spar with Ramaswamy.
Ankney argued in the memo that Trump is “essentially” running as an incumbent and has a lead, but polls in the early states still show most voters are looking for another candidate to support.
DeSantis, who like Trump has expressed some hesitancy about continued U.S. support for Ukraine in the war with Russia, referred to the conflict as a “territorial dispute” in March before walking his remarks back following backlash he received.
The memo notes comments that Haley made recently criticizing “out-of-control spending” from Democrats, Republicans and Trump, and for a lack of “moral clarity” in dealing with China.
