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.

The purpose of that pledge is a psych op to make the preposterous sound less preposterous.
I like the way Trump answers - yes, I’ll support the winner because it will be me.
Then, when they follow up and say - but what if it’s not you - will you support them?
His answer is - but that won’t happen because it will be me.
Then Bret Bair or whoever will say - so that’s a “no”? You won’t support the winner of its not you?
Then he doubles down and says - No, it’s a “Yes” I will support the winner which will be me.
The way Trump supporters have to twist themselves into illogical knots just so they don’t have to actually answer a question constantly amazes me.
“The way Trump supporters have to twist themselves into illogical knots..”
Trump was the best President since Reagan and you don’t support him? Talk about illogical knots.
What an absolutely RIDICULOUS non sequitur. My lord you people are weird.
Just be because something goes over you head, does not make it illogical or a non sequitur. Read up on the Dunning Kruger Effect.
And you go read up on Republicans losing elections since Trump won in 2016. Shouldn’t be too hard to find information on it because it has happened a LOT. And even after he loses in 2024 you still won’t get it.
You think Trump lost in 2020?
In effect, they are: Morgan Stanley, Viking Global, and BlackRock.
Those were major investors in his biotech company. My assessment is they are his sponsors in the current political show.
Well, since Joe Biden is currently the POTUS, yes I think Trump lost in 2020. Anyone who thinks otherwise isn’t worthy of conversation.
Hahahaha
More fake news…
