What Is Nikki Haley Doing?
Real Clear Politics ^ | January 30, 2024 | Sean Trende - RCP Staff

Posted on 01/30/2024 6:21:18 PM PST by Bobbyvotes

why is Nikki Haley continuing her bid? I see five possibilities: She thinks she might pull ahead in the delegate count. She wants to give establishment Republicans a chance to be heard. She thinks she might win at the convention and/or a catastrophe might befall Trump She wants to be vice president. She wants to hurt Donald Trump.

What’s in it for her? If she fits the bill of someone in the first paragraph, it speaks for itself. If not? A job from wealthy donors? A network television show? The speaking circuit? Plenty of opportunities are available for failed presidential candidates, especially those who attack a candidate the establishment genuinely despises.

Haley was already on the Board of Directors at Boeing.

It was so boring—they just did not appreciate her engineering and project management insights.

Lol.

She wants people to waste their money.

The other consideration id blackmail. Unsavory info on Nimratta has started to surface. Perhaps that is the tip of the iceberg.

Nimarata is clinging to the hope that Trump will be disqualified from running or assassinated.

She may end up in the trash bin of politics, but she will make money doing it. She could not get elected dog catcher in her home state. She is unqualified for most any job outside of gadfly. Is she going home to run the family business?

If Trump were to win id like to see him both a Truth, anyone with Nikki Haley on the board will receive no government contracts.

There's staying in a race as a massive underdog and there's staying in a race and doing your utmost on a daily basis to antagonize the base of the massive frontrunner. Haley has so poisoned the water—and it's not that she had much goodwill to start especially in the south—that no one on our side will go near her even if Trump dropped out.

I was going to say she has become the female version of that fat slob Christie, but it's deeper than that. Christie was certainly getting some GOPe money, but he was pursuing a personal vendetta. Haley is channeling almost 50 years of GOPe rage from when Ronald Reagan took on Gerald Ford in 1976 through the Reagan years, the '94 takeover, the Tea Party, and just when ¡Yeb! was all set to lose and things would finally be set right, down that golden escalator came Donald J. Trump to once again wreck the party for the GOPe.

They have been unhinged since and increasingly so with each day that passes and he's still standing. And that we're still standing with him. Haley is saying what has been said over and over since 1976: Why won't you just go away? Why? WHY? GO AWAY! JUST GO AWAY!

And the GOPe rage continues.

She is financed by Reid Hoffman who funded the false charges against Donald Trump.

It goes back even farther than 1976, imo. I remember well the Rockefeller Republicans who raged against the Barry Goldwater tide in 1964.

A network television show? The speaking circuit?

I hear they're doing a DEI remake of "Wizard of Oz". I can think of a part that distinctly fits her profile.

Nikki is doing what she is paid to do, attack Trump.

No, she isn’t protecting the nation. She is protecting the interests of her benefactors. She is proving that us ‘little’ people don’t matter, Constitution, Rights, and such, and she is making it clear that no one with a brain will ever vote for her on a conservative ticket. But, she will get rich from all of this. That’s what really matters, just ask Pence.

Hope she gets demolished in SC primary. Voters there will remember the flag.

Haley will stay in the race until GOP Convention.
She is counting on him put in prison on trumped up phony charges, and she will be the only other choice left with delegates. All those Democrats who are voting for her will vote for Biden in November.
