Nikki Haley slated for a dozen fundraisers before South Carolina primary — despite hit in New Hampshire

Despite a punishing loss in New Hampshire, Nikki Haley has nearly a dozen fundraisers scheduled between now and the South Carolina primary — and insiders are now wondering how many of these shindigs will actually happen.

On Jan. 30 in New York City, billionaires including Leonard Stern, Cliff Asness, Stanley Druckenmiller, Ken Langone and Henry Kravis are co-hosting an event for the former South Carolina governor.

On Feb. 6, Silicon Valley mogul Tim Draper is hosting Haley in Atherton, Calif. On Feb. 15, Haley also is slated to be feted in Dallas by real estate tycoon Harlan Crow, according to an invitation reviewed by On The Money.

Elsewhere, Haley is scheduled for fundraisers from Greenville, SC to Houston to San Antonio, with hosts including real estate magnate Ross Perot Jr., French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s ex-wife Cécilia Attias, Susan Rockefeller, GOP strategist Karl Rove’s wife Karen, and former US Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), according to invitations obtained by On The Money.

That’s despite the fact that Haley, also a former US ambassador to the United Nations, trails Trump by 30 percentage points in her home state of South Carolina.

Many donors admit her chances of winning the nomination are slim to none — and some insiders say that for billionaires with cash to spare, supporting Haley may be more about impressing friends with a cocktail party than betting she can pull off an upset.

These two should start a cooking show on You Tube...Jeb! can bring his guacamole bowl, and Haley can furnish the curry.

Why are all of these anti-Trump people trying to derail his candidacy? After all, he should be easy to beat if he is such an obvious racist, extremist, insurrectionist, etc., etc.

Enquiring minds want to know....

Both Christie and Haley are Dem stalking horses. Christie just got out believing his 5% support in NH would lift her up from the high 30% to low 40% so he, the media and Haley could go with the narrative that she is still in this, even though it's all over.

Nikita shot herself in the foot, not once but twice.
Claiming that it was a two man race in Iowa, she came in third.
Even after getting 70% votes from democrats and independents in New Hampshire, she still lost by double digits.
The RINOs and Never Trumpers need a vehicle with which to attack Trump, so Nikita still serves their purpose. It’s why she refuses to get out, her dead bounce campaign provides cover for continuous media attacks from the RINOs.
She has self destructed, her political career is over, there’s no more political capital to spend.
She can’t go home to South Carolina, nobody wants her.
A year from now she’ll be quietly peddling what little influence she has left as a lobbyist to the ever shrinking Bush era RINO class republicans, just another ‘also ran’ in the turbulent, swirling cesspool of the Swamp.
Good riddance.

Nikki Haley removed the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State Capitol.

Here is an Orthodox Christian view of South Carolina’s independence of spirit, and the relationship of the Confederate battle flag to that spirit.

Nikki Haley seems to be out of sync with this spirit!

Nikki has said that she can be different things in different states, but I don't think she ever claimed to be Serbian or Orthodox.

I have some lifetime advice for these plutocrats:

Spend the money on world class hookers and cocaine—much more fun for your money.
