After losing the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary to frontrunner Donald Trump, Nikki Haley spoke to supporters, saying, "New Hampshire is First in the Nation. This race is far from over."
Haley remarked that she started out at 2 percent in the polls, and she's come a long way and got nearly half the vote in New Hampshire. It remains to be seen just how close she comes to "nearly half," and she's helped immensely by the fact that she's the only major candidate remaining in the race other than Trump.
She continued by asserting that "Donald Trump is the only candidate in the country that Joe Biden can beat," and that's why Democrats want him to be the GOP nominee. Before basically calling for a mental competency test for Trump, Haley said:
"A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency.
...
"With Donald Trump you have one bout of chaos after another... you can't fix Joe Biden's chaos with Republican chaos."
She then challenged Trump to a debate.
However, polls have shown that nearly half of Trump voters in New Hampshire will not vote for Haley if she's the nominee. It remains to be seen how that plays out nationally, though it might not matter after Super Tuesday. And, Haley's strategy relies heavily on independents, as reported Tuesday afternoon.
Memo from Haley team implies they’re willing to fight through Super Tuesday
…and rely on independents:
“Eleven of the 16 Super Tuesday states have open or semi-open primaries. Of the 874 delegates available…roughly two thirds are in states with open or semi-open primaries.”

Watch Haley's full remarks below.
Is she gonna be Kasich 2.0?
“Haley remarked that she started out at 2 percent in the polls, and she’s come a long way and got nearly half the vote in New Hampshire.”
...after opponents dropped out, and after Dems voted for her, in a losing attempt to carry her to the deep end of the pool.
She’s getting too much money from those who visited Epstein island to drop out
We voted at the local high school. It was concerning to see the line at the “Unaffiliated Voter” table. A shitload of RAT voters lining up to vote for the “Whore in High Heels”!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Go away Nikita.
I get the impression Haley is having a self deluded moment “they really like me” “look at all the votes for me”. birdbrain may just be the right nic name for her.
I do agree with her campaigns statement from this morning -
We aren’t going anywhere.
Substitute “donors” for “supporters” and you’ll have it right.
They’re banking on democrats crossing over to keep Trump from winning. What a dirty bunch of weasels!
One dingbat said something about how she was completely hopeless before today that Haley had a shot, but halfway through today, she suddenly felt confident. She apparently watched a lot of MSNBC. They were desperately trying to convice their viewers that Haley had a real shot at winning the primary. They analyzed the number of independents and took great comfort in the six vote lead she had.
They were literally trying to wish a Trump defeat into existence. These were allegedly journalists talking about hope and positive thoughts that Trump would lose.
RE: Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Maybe in a different part of the Multiverse. :)
I think it's probably the the first time Niki has used the word y'all in her life. I'm sure the voters in her self proclaimed racist and misogynistic home state will by suitably impressed and vote accordingly .
Is she gonna be Kasich 2.0?
*******************
It depends how we define 2016 compared to 2024.
Kasich came in 4th with 150+ delegates, Cruz came in 2nd with 500+ delegates.
My prediction is Haley coming in 2nd with a lot less delegates than Cruz.
She’s creeping into delusional territory.
FOAD Nimarada !
She’s not running to try to get the Republican nomination. She’s running to help Biden in the general election.
