It’s very likely that the former South Carolina governor was more popular than Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. But our system won’t recognize it.
A s we prepare to watch Donald Trump take the oath of office Monday, it’s worth bearing in mind this fact. If America had an electoral system that elected the candidate whom a majority of America’s voters preferred when compared one-on-one to each alternative, it would be Nikki Haley, not Donald Trump, who would become the new President on January 20.
Yes, we found out in November that the American electorate preferred Trump to Kamala Harris. But it would have preferred Haley over either one. Yet the existing electoral system didn’t let the nation’s voters express this preference on their November ballots.
If it had, we can be reasonably sure that more voters would have preferred Haley to Harris. Indeed, given all the “ghost” votes that Haley received in the Republican primaries—even after dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination—she likely would have received more votes against Harris than Trump did. Haley couldn’t win the GOP nomination because she was less popular among Republican voters than Trump, but she was still more popular than him among all American voters, as polls showed at the time.
For the same reason, we can be confident that more voters in November would have favored Haley over Trump if that had been the choice on their ballots. She would have received the votes of her supporters in the primaries, plus independents who preferred her to Trump. Also, between just the two of them, she would have received the votes of Democrats who, although obviously wanting Harris to win, preferred Haley to Trump as the less objectionable Republican.

Later, when women were given the right to vote, consent was given by both citizen-parents to ensure their offspring would be solely U.S. Citizens at birth.

In a word, no. TDS has more serpent heads than the Hydra.
The flip side is, a fair number of Bernie Bros were red-pilled by the installation of Cankles over Bernie, and became true Trump supporters. Saw it happen on Patriots dot win.
