Haley's Plummet

Over the decades, the one, consistent through-line of the Modern Republican Party is their reflexive lying about their past every time the wind shifts. 

For example, here is Nikki Haley today:

Nikki Haley tells @TimAlberta of Donald Trump: “I don’t think he’s going to be in the picture. I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far... We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him.” https://t.co/q8F6ZVbzWo

And here is Nikki Haley last month:

Also Nikki Haley last month on Donald Trump and impeachment: “I mean, at some point, I mean, give the man a break. I mean move on.”

Now because the cycle of lies-told/lies-collapsing has been spinning exponentially faster for decades, the frantic retconnings of the past that used to be spaced apart by years, are now run through in a matter of months or days or hours. 

Hell, who among us hasn't witnessed a Republican denying what they said at beginning of a paragraph by the time they've meandered to the end of that same paragraph.

But through it all, one thing remains constant.

There will always be a New Nixon.
