Trump insults Nikki Haley and her voters, then encourages them to back him
Yahoo Finance ^ | March 6, 2024 | 146 Geoff Weiss,John L. Dorman

Just before former Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina suspended her presidential campaign Wednesday morning, former President Donald Trump insulted his former rival — as well as her supporters — before inviting them to support him.

"Nikki Haley got TROUNCED last night, in record setting fashion," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls."

After cheering his Super Tuesday performance, Trump invited Haley's supporters to join him in "the greatest movement in the history of our Nation" to defeat President Joe Biden, whom he called "the enemy."

Trump's Truth Social missive arrived about the same time Haley announced she was suspending her campaign following a relatively poor showing on Super Tuesday.

Haley did not endorse the former president when she dropped out of the race but wished him well and called on him to win over her supporters.

"It is now up the Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him," Haley said in her Wednesday speech in Charleston, South Carolina. "And I hope he does that."

"This is now his time for choosing," she added.

On X, a spokesperson for Haley called out the differences between Trump's and Biden's reactions to the ex-UN ambassador dropping out of the race.

In Biden's statement, he said it "takes a lot of courage to run for President" and applauded Haley for being "willing to speak the truth about Trump."

"Donald Trump made it clear he doesn't want Nikki Haley's supporters," the president said. "I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign."

I guess Yahoo considers calling half her voters Democrats - an insult.

Interesting

I know it doesn’t appeal to everyone. Like some of Haley’s voters who are open to voting for Trump. That’s the problem. Trump acts like a dunce.

Whoa. Trump was right and I’d say half of her voters were most definitely democrats.

She won the bluest parts of the country. How is that so hard to believe?

Haley has been calling Trump braindead and mentally incapacitated, so his response here was actually quite kind.

Are you going to go on like this every day for eight months?

Is that the plan?

There’s nothing wrong with him pointing out that he trounced her, and the most of her money and large numbers of her votes came from Democrats. Quit being a pussy about it.

How does that get her voters who are open to voting for him into his column? Please explain. I know you enjoyed it but that's irrelevant.

“Radical left Democrats” is an insult? “MAGA Republican” isn’t an insult either IMHO

“Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls.”

How is that insult? It’s the truth.

I guess the truth is an insult to Haley and her few supporters.

Trump's platform is completely the opposite of Haley's, who were always going to vote for Biden in the fall.

They have said as much when interviewed yesterday.

Did you look at the Haley supporter Reddit link?

It will answer a lot of your questions.

Most of the people who voted for Nikita are lifetime leftist democrats.

Trump won the 2020 election by a landslide. If you believe 80 million people legitimately voted for Biden, you are a fool or a troll.

Anyone not backing Trump is basically an enemy of this country.

Trump has all the right enemies, Haley had all the wrong friends.
