Nikki Haley isn’t dropping out because she knows if Trump is convicted of anything, she would become the nominee. No amount of Trump supporters in congress will be able to override this. In the interim, she gains visibility throughout the country and the RNC and Deep State donors pay for it.
If you believe that not to be the case, just look at the two rules the RNC is pushing through. Here is my issue. RINO’s and Rats tend to phone these things in when they know it’s in the bag. Well, except for Hillary who was more vilified and hated by the American people than Trump can ever be.
Trump should leave instructions with some trusted person (or a sealed letter) saying who he would favor if he were to be assassinated. That person would have a big advantage in getting the nomination. It would not be Nikki.
Gavin Newsom has praised Nikki as his best surrogate.
