Haley leapfrogs DeSantis to take No. 2 spot but remains miles behind front-runner Trump

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley passed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for second place in the GOP primary, according to a Wall Street Journal poll conducted days before Wednesday's GOP primary debate in which the former United Nations ambassador was the subject of repeated attacks.

Every Republican White House hopeful is still far behind former President Donald Trump, who holds 59% of the vote, according to the poll released Thursday. Haley narrowly surpassed DeSantis, who has been stuck in neutral for months, polling at 15% compared to the Florida governor’s 14%.

DeSantiacs hardest hit. Haley, the carpetbagging Hindu supremacist, doesn’t stand a chance.

NIKKI IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT

SHE IS AN ANCHOR BABY-—NOTHING MORE

WE ALREADY HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE-——

IMO-—SHE IS FRAUDULENTLY COLLECTING DONATIONS FOR A JOB SHE CANNOT LEGALLY HAVE.

It doesn’t matter none of these establishment clowns are going to be the nominee.. right now the goal is to try to consolidate as much support as possible around one of them so that they can try to pressure Trump into accepting whoever it isa s the VP... Much like they forced Bush onto Reagan.

Hopefully Trump will have none of it.

I think he has learned a lot since 2016, and has figured out that the establishment GOP is just as much his enemy as any Democrat will ever be.. EVEN MORE SO.... because he literally is a threat to the establishment GOP’s existence.. the Dems will keep on trucking along regardless or not Trump is in the white house.. but the establishment GOP has to know they will be #1 targets if Trump wins.

“conducted days before Wednesday’s GOP primary debate”

Old news, too little, too late.

Wait a minute. I thought that DeSantis fell behind Niki Haley 2 months ago, and then it was one month ago they said DeSantis suddenly fell behind Haley, and now they are claiming it again like it is a first. Hmmm.

And still the biggest Trump groupies on FR for months on end keep obsessing over only DeSantis on a daily basis with rehashed yarns written from the same tiny triad of Trump surrogates.

And after desanctimonious had his historic milestone 99 caucus site visit in Iowa, where he took the stage to overflowing crowds after encouraging speeches by reynolds and vander plaat

And his gane changing debate with newsom, where he defly told the country how he was told by newsom's father in law that he moved from california to florida for better government, less taxes and crime..... but forgot to mention he had moved to montanna first, before florida ...

desanctimonius is old news....

Maybe, when desanctimonious drops out of the race and stops being in the media and desantis supporting nevertrumpers stop promoting him, Trump people will stop talking about desanctus.

But, then again, the desantis supporters will just move to promoting haley, and we’ll all be talking about haley, and starting the cycle again until she drops out

Haley would be even further behind with DeSantis and Ramaswamy out because most of their supporters would swing to Trump.

IMO --exactly. In your opinion.

In the extremely unlikely event that Nikki Haley earns the GOP nomination for president, she will face absolutely zero serious challenges to her eligibility. The issue will be nothing more than unhinged cranks whining on the internet about anchor babies and Emer de Vattel.

More importantly than all that: She is the purchased tool of the same tyrants that purchased Obama, Biden and McConnell.
