While defeated, former President Donald Trump is comfortably ahead of Nikki Haley in South Carolina, this does not deter him from personally attacking her family.
Over the weekend, Trump took aim at her husband Michael who is deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard. Trump said, “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone.”
For her part, Haley responded, "If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don’t deserve a driver’s license, let alone being President of the United States.”
But we've all been here before. In 2016, Trump famously mocked the physical appearance of Ted Cruz's wife Heidi and also claimed his father Rafael was involved in the JFK assassination. Cruz demanded that Trump, "Leave Heidi the hell alone!!!" Regarding his father Cruz said, “Donald Trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating JFK. Now let’s be clear. This is nuts. This is not a reasonable position. This is just kooky.”
Yet by September 2016, Cruz was willing to forgive and forget. Today, Cruz enthusiastically endorses Trump.
Nikki Haley will follow suit. Because like Cruz and virtually all Republicans, she has no dignity.
Trump knows it and it is why he'll keep attacking Haley's husband.
