To the chorus of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' raucous '80s pop hit, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley reached the podium on the 2024 Republican primary night in the state she calls home. The still-strong crowd of supporters began to chant her first name, to which Haley said with a note of affection on what must be a difficult night to remain upbeat, "Y'all are a rowdy bunch, but I love that about you." As we reported earlier, Haley lost the primary, in the state where she served as governor, to former President Donald Trump: Haley began her speech by thanking her family,

Place holder with the thinking they will get rid of Trump and have a stand by ready? If the election is between Haley and Biden, I won't vote for the first time in my life. My older son used to put that scenario to me on many occasions and I'd tell him there would never be a time I wouldn't vote. He's gone now so I can't tell him how right he was.

Let her keep digging her hole... she'll be to her ancestral homeland of India, soon enough.

Her money is on the judges trying to derail Trump.

Talk about dumb and dumber. Maybe she should announce that Mitt Romney or Chris Christi will be her VP pick. Or, maybe she should just declare she is a democrap.

RINOs and Democrats are encouraging her to stay in, in case Trump goes to jail or is ruled ineligible. She'd be next in line. She's creepy.

She's not running, she's raising money. What she doesn't spend she'll keep, that's the plan.

I know I will not follow the advice #1 posted. YES, I would be VERY UPSET if Donald Trump is not the nominee but not to the point that Joe Biden wins. If I were to follow #1's advice, the Democrats will be rewarded with using ANY tactics they choose to get their candidate to win. . .

Her running mate should be Pat Paulson, or Lars 'America Last' Daley.

There is no further reason for her to run than her being a spoiler and bleeding off a few votes from Trump.
The Democrats will keep sending her money for just that reason.

Why would someone want to humiliate themselves like this.? Does she know something we don’t? Is she hoping for something bad is going to happen to Trump or does she know?

Last night after the “onward” speech, Ari Fleischer predicted that Haley is going to stay in as a No Labels candidate.

UniParty Nimarata continues her quest to sabotage 45's candidacy. She will fail, miserably. But she continues nevertheless. She's Newsom's idol. Enough said.

My #1 gripe about Pubbies has always been that they are reactive; they never have a Plan B in place as the Dems do. So I think Haley is actually pretty smart for staying in and admitting that her goal is not to change Trump's base into voting for HER; his base is SOLID and it would be futile to try to convert them. She knows that. But she also realizes that he needs MORE than just his base to win and if Trump gets legally hamstrung and has to drop out, she is hoping to be waiting in the wings offering an option to INDEPENDENTS and those voters worried about Joe's mental health.
She's staying in NOT because she thinks she can beat Trump...but because she thinks she can beat Biden IF TRUMP CAN'T RUN. The Dems think they have a win-win situation because if Trump is the candidate he's so polarizing that Joe has a chance. But their own Plan B is to legally throw everything possible at him so he'll be forced to drop out. Then they can watch our well-established circular firing squad destroy each other because we have no backup plan in place. Haley's presence is not causing worries for the Trump organization, but it IS giving the Dems a case of nasty heartburn. What's wrong with that?

As others have mentioned, her hope is that if the Dems manage to disqualify Trump in some way, she'll be ready to step in as the candidate; however, I know that DeSantis, at least, did not END his campaign, but SUSPENDED it, which means he (and any others who did the same) could re-enter the race were the scenario concerning Trump to play out. And while most conservatives wanted Trump instead on DeSantis, it's not because most see DeSantus as a bad candidate but because it was not the right time - the people wanted Trump. So now that Haley has made it very clear just who she is, I don't think she should assume no one else would re-enter the race, and that if they did, the people would choose her over another candidate. And given just what a slime she is, if, God forbid, that scenario plays out, I'd love to see her lose "bigly", and would take great joy in realizing how much money a bunch of Trump-hating RINOs spent to keep her afloat.

Two images - - - - -
• President Trump surrounded enthusiastically by every leading elected official in South Carolina.
• Nikki up there all by her lonesome - - thanking county clerks for their great support.
Pathetic.

I think almost everybody suspended their campaigns, so if they manage to deprive the country of electing PDT, it doesn't mean second place (only because she's still in the race) Nimrata automatically gets the nomination. I could see a massive revolt from conservatives if that were to happen. I'm never holding my nose to vote for a traitor again. What's the point? We already see her for who she is; electing her as a Republican anything won't change that. She's screaming who she is, believe her! I can't watch her and you don't hear much about him, so I have to ask. Where's Nimrata's husband?

#1, the solution in your scenario is to write in Trump’s name. Just imagine what would happen if 100 million Americans did that.

Haley is nothing more than another feeble democrat/Biden attempt to get Donald Trump. The charges against him are false and the entire country knows it. Those involved have ended their careers and possibly their lives if they persist. I hope Haley is enjoying her paid-for moment in the spotlight now because it's her last.

She's there to troll Trump. That's all there is regarding Haley. She's not running for President.

Like the addicted gambler in the casino with the chip pile getting ever smaller, but just KNOWING that the next spin of that roulette wheel is going to come up a WINNER!......Even when she keeps losing and losing and losing and LOSING.
Go away, Haley. We aren't buying what you are selling. Maybe you can peddle EVs somewhere.

Like #1, I doubt I'd vote for Haley if by some miracle she is the Republican nominee. She represents everything I despise about the GOPe that talks conservative up to the election, then takes a dive every time the Dems raise raise the faintest objection, and considers fighting the Dems "undignified." I'd rather the country got a snootful of real Democrat policies wrecking our country over Dem Lite masquerading as Republican doing the same thing, only slower.

When I listen to Haley, she sounds phoney. There’s something about her that doesn’t ring true.

If she won the Republican primary, who would vote for her in November? She’s more and more unlikeable every time she opens her mouth, in fact, she’s in both Hillary and Kneepad’s league already. I think more people would write in a vote for Trump than she’d get votes.

Super Tuesday, March 5th should finish the old neocon RINOette for good, but the money people will hang on hoping that Mr. Trump gets afoul with all of the spurrious lawfare suits.

At this point, having lost every primary to date, the only way Haley can stay in this is through corporate donations that keep her afloat. Nobody else in their right mind would send her a penny.

As others have stated here this losing witch is hanging on the hope that the corrupt lawfare being orchestrated by the halfwit in the WH takes out PDJT. It won't but that's what Nimrata the Nimrod is banking on. Talk about a pathetic display of shameful behavior. Haley is it.

She'll never get my vote UNLESS she is running against ANY dim-0. I'd vote for a rotten dog lying on the shoulder of a highway before ANY dim-0.
