Donald Trump's longtime pollster told donors and select supporters Friday that the former president "is set to deliver a South Carolina smackdown to Nikki Haley in her home state where she is best known," according to a private polling memo obtained by Axios.

Supposing Trump does as expected in New Hampshire on Tuesday, things go from bad to worse for Haley in South Carolina (her home state).
Notice that DeSantis fall in the polls so far, and his possible withdrawal from the race going forward, has not and won't help Haley. DeSantis appeal is to conservatives, while Haley's appeal is to moderates and never-Trump'ers. As DeSantis' prospects dimmed, his supporters drifted to Trump in at least similar numbers as they drifted to Haley. So, Haley is boxed in. There is no realistic scenario for her.
In the unlikely event that Trump exits the race, I believe his supporters would turn to somebody new (although a proven commodity), like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott or former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo. Large numbers of Americans, certainly a majority within the Republican Party, have had it up to here with the lying and cheating of the Democrats and their cohorts in the media and elsewhere.
This is Trump's revenge tour; and, to quote Conan the Barbarian, what is best in life is "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."
I agree with your analysis.
SMACKDOWN? That is a HORRIBLE WORD! No goid REASON to use it.
If Haley doesn’t win her state, people will notice. It’ll be like Al Gore not winning Tennessee back in the day.
Not Pompeo. He’s career CIA.
That's probably the biggest reason she'll lose.
SC...this is the same state that keep re-electing Graham?
wondering if and how much Daily Mail dredging up stories abot her past affairs will affect NH primary. i assume S Carolinians remember all that from past elections.
Especially since she’s an anchor baby and not even eligible. 🙄
Nikita—secret agent of the Deep State.
IF the GOPe nominates Nimrata Nikki Randhawa, it will prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the GOPe arm of the UniParty wants to deliberately lose to FJB and his merry band of queer flying monkeys.
This beotch will NEVER carry the south. She’s greatly despised in the south.
The RAT arm of the Uniparty knows this full well, and that’s why they’re supporting and pushing her onto the GOPe as hard as they can.
Other than Trump and a handful of others, they ALL pretty much suck.
She’s Barky in a skirt
Exactly
Nikki Haley’s home state is Poonjab, not South Carolina
She ruined her career when she removed the Confederate monument from the statehouse lawn.
In the unlikely event that Trump exits the race, his supporters will flock to DeSantis.
Could there be another large democrat crossover in South Carolina to screw up the republican results?
I was told years ago that Haley was not well thought of by the people in her state. They say she’s an “idiot”. I believe them.
Yup. We were living in NC when that happened. It pissed off a LOT of native southerners. This stupid bitch has no self awareness. Just look at her presence in her town hall gatherings. She acts like a child. Prancing around in circles.
