UPDATE 11:58 p.m. ET:
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has joined those calling for Haley to end her failed campaign for the GOP nomination for president and drop out so Republicans can unify behind Trump for president:
McDaniel’s call may be the biggest yet, as now the formal chair of the GOP nationally is saying Haley has no pathway to the GOP nomination and must end her quixotic bid so Republicans can focus on defeating Biden in the general election. This is a massive, massive loss for Haley on Tuesday night, and proof that it is very likely she does not make it to South Carolina from here.
UPDATE 11:36 p.m. ET:
Cracks are beginning to emerge in Haley’s support system. The Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, while announcing it is in fact staying with her, issues a very carefully-worded statement acknowledging she faces an “uphill battle” for the GOP nomination and that the next state in which she is competing–she is skipping Nevada so has already conceded that to Trump–in South Carolina she faces even “steeper” odds than in New Hampshire where she is on pace for a double digit defeat:
UPDATE 11:33 p.m. ET:
With 81 percent reporting now according to the New York Times, Trump is maintaining his double digit lead over Haley. Trump is at 54.8 percent and Haley is down at 43.6 percent.

Joe Biden was not on the ballot, so New Hampshire is counting write-in votes, and that tabulation is taking a long time.
“if haley gets enough delegates, the rnc can try to force Trump to have her as his v.p.”
The operative word here: “Try”.
Scott from SC has endorsed Trump. Has Miss Lindsey done that yet?
After her stupid stunt removing the Confederate memorial from the front lawn of the statehouse, the S.C, primary will look like a human sacrifice.
Yup—South Carolina Republican voters are begging for the chance to let Nikki know how much they hate her.
However now that the RNC has officially endorsed President Trump there is a good chance she won’t have the cojones to stay in to face that humiliation.

She’s going to get absolutely humiliated - not merely defeated - in her home state. I’m all about it. South Carolinians will finally get their chance to “thank” her properly for caving in to the Leftists and taking down the Confederate battle flag which had already been removed from the state capital building when a compromise was reached on this issue earlier.
Bet she does back down...I’m sure she’s begging for money as we speak.
I will vote Trump even if he's in jail. I will never vote for Ninny Hankles.
When you subtract the estimated 75% non Republican votes Haley received, that’s 43.6 x .25 = 10.7 Republican points for her
10.7 + Trump’s 54.8 = 65.5 total between the two.
There were an additional 1.6 points awarded to also-rans - let’s assume they were Republican votes - so 67.1 Republican points.
That means Trump got 54.8 / 67.1. = 81.7% of the Republican votes in the NH Republican Primary.
A stunning victory, as expected.
70% of Haley’s votes came from NON-Republicans
