Is Nikki Haley About to Drop Out?
PJ Media ^ | 02/20/2024 | Matt Margolis

Nikki Haley has yet to win a primary contest and is so far behind Donald Trump in the polls that it made little sense why she didn't drop out after New Hampshire. Many noted at the time, myself included, that she had no viable path to winning the nomination, yet she treated her second-place finish in a two-person race in New Hampshire as some sort of victory. She went on to lose big in the Nevada primary to "none of these candidates."

As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, polls show that she is on the verge of losing big in her home state of South Carolina — a state she served as governor. Is she going to add to her growing list of humiliations by continuing her campaign?

On Monday night, her campaign sent out a media announcement that she intends to deliver a "State of the Race Speech" on Tuesday in Greenville, S.C.

Naturally, this announcement has prompted speculation that Haley intends to drop out of the race rather than face a humiliating defeat in South Carolina. Honestly, her campaign died in New Hampshire, we're just waiting for her to finally bury it, and it's hardly unreasonable to speculate that Haley (and perhaps her big donors) have decided it's time to get the shovels out.

The problem with her dropping out now is everyone will know the reason why. The latest Winthrop University poll of the GOP primary in South Carolina puts Trump at 65% support compared to Haley's 29% — a commanding 36-point lead for Trump.

She just conned the media into giving her a free political ad. Sneaky is as sneaky does.

She's said she's staying through at least Super-Tuesday.

Your annulus is likely near your back pocket, not in it...

I see 2 possible reasons for her continuing:
1. RFK running mate slot
2. Wants to be in position as the “next one up” if Trump is either assassinated (he’d better seriously watch his back) or is somehow inextricably crippled by his legal entanglements.

Super Tuesday is going to be the biggest thrashing in the history of US primary politics.

Grab the popcorn—Nikki is about to become a legendary loser.

Lol.

Agreed... but that’s not her target audience at this point — especially if she ends up being 2nd fiddle to RFK.

Maybe all the SS staff loyal to the Deep State are 100% assigned to Trump.

No. She makes a good foil for Trump.

The brazen bald-face boldness of Democrat actions lately has surprised and enlightened me. No more even pretending to behave with normalcy and fairness. All naked power grabs and in your face snarling.

As I've already stated in a previous post.. "Haley is either STUPID.. or some type of POLITICAL deal has been made that we're UNAWARE of."

What is Nikki Haley going to do with the millions she is raking in her campaign? Stuff them in a mattress like Fani Willis?. Probably saving it for some future campaing many years from now

After Saturday it won’t be about Nikki Haley so much as it will be about Nikki Haley’s donors.
