Any voter who listened to a stump speech from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during her primary campaign against Donald Trump -- which she just ended -- was likely to hear a variation of one message: The former president can't win in November because he's been losing a notable minority of Republican voters.
"He lost 40% of the primary vote in all of the early states," she said last week at a campaign rally in Minnesota. "You can't win the general election if you can't win that 40% [back]."
Haley was exaggerating. For example, in the 15 GOP states that voted on Super Tuesday, she has gotten less than 20%

Anything that spoken by Nimarata is pure narcissistic. Nimmy is only looking out for herself. She is beholding to the Deep State and herself, both in that order.

So bitter, so inaccurate, so stupid, so forgotten.
Just because Trump wasn't the first choice for some people doesn't mean they're staying home or voting Biden.
This is the dumbest and most bitter thing she could have said and shows us how horrible a President she would have been.
Very immature. How embarrassing for her.
Sit down, Nikki, your 15m is over.

Guess she wasn't around in 2016 when the Republican field was all kinds of fractured!
She also completely glosses over the fact that many of this year's earlier primaries along with a few of the latest ones were open primaries, where many of the votes she received were from Democrats 'gaming the system'.....she's really full of it. Needs to quit while she's behind....

Haley, you lost,"biggly" and now you act like a sore loser with only YOUR thinking as fractured. Why don't you just quietly go a away while you still have a some dignity because you rare showing us all just what kind of person you really are with your comments. Good thing you lost because you appear to be a Dem wolf in Republican sheep's clothing. MAGA Trump '24

Nikki doesn't work for the overarching common good of the country: she resorted to cheap Dem-like jabs against DJT as campaign approach as it became her only avenue to push herself ahead. she may have gotten votes - from Dems and Establishment and Never Trumpers who will abandon voting for an R in the general anyway. it's all about Nikki - the Meghan Markle approach.

I've never seen a presidential hopeful crash and burn so quickly.
Time to write you memoirs, Nikki: "My Democrat Friends"

Nimarata has conducted her campaign like a perfect dunce since day one. She let the democrats talk her into accepting their campaign money so she is forever tainted. Her only path forward is to become one of them - officially.

Fractured? I am sure Trump did not win VT or DC in 2016 and he did just fine. Go away Nikki.

Would the Republican party be more fractured under Trump or Haley? Perhaps Haley thinks the Republican party should nominate the biggest loser. There goes that 'losers are winners' strategy again.

Hit the road Nikki. You’re a divider. You are not what the country needs, now or ever. Your voters were mostly democrats and never Trumpers. Please, I beg you, go away.

REAL Republicans don't say stuff like Haley has for exactly this reason, Leftist media use it as attack fodder. Further, there was NO reason for Haley to get nasty like she did. She was going to lose, period. If she didn't know this, she is a Kamala-class moron. If she wanted to stay in the race to prove a point, she should have kept her comments above board and respectful, not Leftist low class lies. Of course she was getting campaign cash from liberals so she was certainly being influenced in her messaging, another reason to not trust her. Nikki deserves her loss and because of her words and tactics, she deserves to be sided-lined in the party.

Where did she "Do Well"?(near 40% range)
Maine, Mass, Minn, Vermont, her own "native son" SC, Wash DC....
SC is solid Red, no doubt Trump wins it. Of the others?
Not going to be in play...and would not be for ANY Repub.
This is the same as if Phillips were to be crowing about HIS "Great support numbers" in Fla, Tex, Okla. and Ohio.
( I will confess that I actually have hopes for Trump in Minn, and Maine, I have worked on campaigns in both and feel the time may be ripe for a Red Shift from the Blue Collars/Farmers/timber industry/Truckers, small business folks.)

I've just about had enough of this demcommie shill, masquerading as a Republican, from now on it's either turn down the volume or change the channel
= I can't take any more of her non-sensical blustering and gloating as to how important she is

About 99% of that 40% of Republican primary voters were Demon-Rats who crossed over to vote for Haley to try to hurt Trump. So they were never going to vote for Trump in the first place.
Haley should have known this (and I'm sure she does), since she begged Demon-Rats to cross over and vote for her.
If there was ever a donkey in elephant clothes, Niki is it!!!!!
