At this point in the race, after several humiliations—while totally pissing off the conservative base—

if she thinks she has any future in the Republican Party,

she is disqualified based on her complete lack of situational awareness, total unwillingness to accept reality and absolute lack of common sense!

Hopium by RINOs. I do not hate Nikki at all, its just when you take that DC RINO money, you become a smush.

I’d now vote for slo-joe before I’d vote for the Nimrod-ah.

Me too.

The Republican establishment is a greater threat to what's left of this country than any Dem.

“Confirms my decision to cancel my subscription to The Epoch Times,”

Yup—this was one of the dumbest articles I have read in a long time.

Even most leftist rags are not that stupid on the subject of Nikki.

I will read all the other comments and see if there is any meat left on the bone to chew on....

;-)

It’s helping Trump, and hurting Democrats. As long as the primary is on, even if it isn’t competitive, it means more attention for Trump, and it starves attention from the Democrats.

______________________________

It also keeps Republicans from voting in the Demonrat primaries for someone other than Biden as an Operation Chaos move. Instead, they vote for Trump in the R primary out of antipathy for Nimrada.

Too many votes against Biden makes the Demonrats worry too much about getting rid of him any way they can. I want him to stay in the race.

Lets go through some other basic facts the article missed—and have not been commented on to date:

—The all time record for major candidate primary humiliation goes to Udall. He managed to lose six primaries in a row before throwing in the towel. On Super Tuesday Nikki has a chance to blow away that record with close to twenty consecutive primary losses. That really could happen—she is not close anywhere according to the polls but DC has not been polled so who knows—she might squeak by in the March 1-3 DC primary. She is currently polling more than thirty points behind even in Massachusetts and Vermont.

—Udall eventually got a Cabinet Post but was never again a factor in electoral politics.

—President Trump’s three quarters of the Republican Party is never going to nominate her for dog catcher of her local town. If she ever wants to run for public office again she better become a Democrat. The Republican Party has made a generational shift—not going to change in 2028 or the foreseeable future past that. This will be true regardless of the outcome in November. Our folks can smell Deep State rats a mile away—we will fight them tooth and nail no matter what their name is.

—The article did mention her big donors have abandoned her. She is out of money running a weak advertising and marketing effort for Super Tuesday. If she continues past that (unlikely but possible) her staff is going to be eating dog food and be all volunteer whether they like it or not.

—She rolled the dice and lost. Now she gets the consolation prize—holding hands with Liz Cheney at the University of Virginia Republican Quisling Foundation.

That is just stupid. It didn't work in 2008, and it won't work with an incumbent president. Are there any numbers on how many Republicans did it in 2008?

It hurts Republicans, because the vast majority will forget to reregister, and it will help Democrat registration numbers.

6 - She is making a lot of money from Democrat donors that is being stashed in secret overseas accounts.

Nikki stays on because she needs a job.

Past tense—she “was” making a lot of money.

The well is currently dry—and her road ahead is looking a dusty desert.

I’m hoping we’ll see a REAL generational change and Cornyn will go down in flames in his bid to lead the Senate Republicans in the same way Nikki is going down in flames against Trump.

Here are the 5 reasons.

1. photos of a live girl in her bed

2. photos of a dead boy in her bed

3. photos of farm animals in bed

4. financial “irregularities” that are felony and federal crimes found in an audit.

5. family member facing federal criminal charges.

#6) Trump is my age and could suffer a “normal age-thing”

Even more than an age thing, NH is playing with house money and may darkly figure if the worse happens, she could end up being top R candidate.

Oh, that NBC thing isn't even a speed bump, as Obama demonstrated.

#7: Skew enough support away from Trump with the women and minorities to help whoever the Dems will run.

Ross

I think if enough money's dangled she'd party-switch. They really have no one better since Big Mike's too used to the easy life, Hillary's too despised and Kamala...
