Is it time for Republicans to take Nikki Haley seriously?
According to a new Emerson College Polling survey, “Haley saw the largest increase in support among Republican candidates, jumping 5 points from 2 percent to 7 percent” following last week’s debate.
“Nikki Haley’s support increased from about 2 percent to 9 percent among voters over 50 [years of age],” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, “while Trump’s support dropped within this age group from about 56 percent to 49 percent after the debate.”
This jump is modest, inasmuch as it still leaves Haley in the single digits. But it’s also no outlier. According to a poll conducted by The Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight, and Ipsos released last Thursday, voters were persuaded to at least give her a second look. “Pre-debate, 29 percent of GOP primary voters who watched the debate said they were considering voting for her,” according to the survey, “and that increased to 46 percent after the debate.”
So how did she do it? Haley caught our attention by being first to hit Trump (from the right), when she criticized him for “adding eight trillion to our debt.” This surprised everyone, demonstrated courage, and put to rest the notion that she is merely running to be Trump’s vice president.

Thanks for that link, BTW. I have it bookmarked.
Indeed.
You must have been in the room.
“I liked some things about Haley”
So do Antifa and BLM. Nikki is the patron saint of tearing down Confederate statues.
Actually the Battle Flag in her case but that’s a distinction without a difference.
Who are Vivek Ramaswamy‘s big money sponsees?
You are quite welcome.
Good luck with your fight to educate people on the topic.
I almost hate to try to do it anymore, because you have to try to argue with people unable to grasp nuance and a more formal yet ‘archaic’ language , and who expect their understanding of the topic to be completely encompassed by a one sentence summary, in the current vernacular, (which also pretty much must agree with their preconceived notions as well).
Or Naggy Haley
Being Klaus Schwab’s girl has its perks.
War whore.
Delusional. None of the single digit midgets have a chance, particularly Nikki. No way in hell will I EVER vote for a woman. Period. Repeal the 19th.
That's our Nimrata!
Commies telling us who they want again because they know that Biden would easily beat her
That skanky warmonger is a threat to our Constitutional Republic. I still remember her response to the confederate flag issue.
They hated Trump in 2016.
Nope. Me either. But some I know like her. I don’t get it. Shes so transparently ruthless.
Nikki Chris DeSantis sure is looking like a threat.
Nikki Heley folks, threat of the week.
There’s an argument to be made, but its just not correct to say that there’s no consensus. The consensus among those (lower) courts who have looked at it, and existing election law is that an NBC is a person who is a citizen at birth.
That includes children of US citizens born overseas, anchor babies, and children recognized as citizens of other countries.
SCOTUS isn’t going to touch this even with your hands. We an try legislation, but that probably won’t be enough: it would take a constitutional amendment to change, and there’s no support for that either. At this point, it’s just dorm room philosophy to pass the time, not serious political discourse.
“Nikki Haley Is Starting to Look Like a Real Threat to Trump”
i can’t believe that this isn’t from the babylon bee ...
