Haley's PAC is supporting Harris!

[Couchpotato]

Wrong.
For the Democrats:
Rule 11(H). It said that all delegates to the convention were bound “to vote for the presidential candidate whom they were elected to support for at least the first convention ballot, unless released in writing by the presidential candidate

How does this change what I said?

 

[Foxfyre]

Right... it's just right there in the name of the PAC they gave money to.

You didn't read the article did you.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You didn't read the article did you.

"The political action committee (PAC), previously known as Haley Voters for Biden"

Did you?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I seriously doubt they were ever Haley voters. And you don't know who they supported any more than I do. The fact that she strongly objects to their using her name suggests they probably were not. And if they were it was only to hurt Trump and not because they supported Haley.

Most people supported Biden because he was not Trump, I am sure the same is true for Haley.

I think she has a losing battle as their name is "Haley Voters" and Haley would have to prove that is not accurate.

The "Physicians for Responsible Medicine" are just a PETA sock. All they care about is no animal experimentation, even if it threatens human life.

And of course a meat free diet.

Crepitus just gave us an example of people thinking it's her PAC.

And you know that, yet didn't even donate to them.

So if your goal was to show that what the other poster is saying is nonsense, then well done.

They added, "We did spend $1 million supporting Haley and rallied thousands of voters across the political spectrum to vote for her because she was best for our country. And now we support @KamalaHarris."

Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris

A PAC of Nikki Haley voters announced their support for Kamala Harris' presidential bid on Sunday after Biden announced he was dropping out of this year's race.

www.newsweek.com

Those were republicans, folks. Now they're working for the Democrats.

And Haley ain't happy about it.

Nikki Haley issues cease and desist to 'Haley Voters for Harris' PAC: 'Deceptive'

'Haley Voters for Harris' has pushed supporters of the former GOP presidential candidate to back VP Harris.

So you’re happy a non-existent group of voters is voting for Kamala?

It’s a PAC, not a group of voters in the first place. Money from a bunch of warmongering neocon RINOs. That’s what “support” your side has, the neocon warmongers because Trump/Vance aren’t bought and paid for by the Big War industry.

I’m just surprised Nikki isn’t endorsing Kamala, but she knows Kamala has no chance of winning and Nikki only cares about her political future.

I'm saying that names don't have to mean what they say.

The difference here is a PAC referring to a specific candidate by name.

If PFRM added "Surgeon General's" to the front, I'm sure the government would take issue with it.

I'm saying that names don't have to mean what they say.

But they also cannot be misleading.

I can't start a PAC called "Rapists for reelecting Trump", then give all the money to the Harris campaign.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Crepitus just gave us an example of people thinking it's her PAC.

Is it their fault people are stupid?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If PFRM added "Surgeon General's" to the front, I'm sure the government would take issue with it.

Because the government holds the rights to that.

Nikki haley does not hold the rights to her voters.

But they also cannot be misleading.

I can't start a PAC called "Rapists for reelecting Trump", then give all the money to the Harris campaign.

And the issue would be with using Trump's name.

That's why most PACs have names associated with a cause, not with the candidate they don't like.

It's why Copyright and Trademark laws exist in the first place.

 

[martybegan]

Nikki haley does not hold the rights to her voters.

She has control over her name as a public figure in this case.

They crossed the line using her name.

That's why most PACs have names associated with a cause, not with the candidate they don't like.

See the PAC "republican voters against trump".

 

[postman]

How does this change what I said?

You said the delegates weren't bound.

That said there's nothing that requires those delegates to vote for Biden or Harris or anyone for that matter.

Actually for the democrats rule 11(h) does just that, for the first ballot.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

And that mistake makes Haley's case that the name of the PAC is a misrepresentation.

Nope

 

[my2¢]

I gave it a "Fake News" because as I skimmed through the Newsweek article what I found all it amounted to was the renaming of "Haley Voters for Biden" to "Haley Voters for Harris".
