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.

The fact people are still throwing money at her at this point shows you just how corrupt the system is…

She is owned by the Uniparty/globalist/establishment, period.

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.

I’m pretty sure Nimrata got the same talk that Kari Lake got, only she was told to stay IN the race to hurt Trump. Watch to see what plum board positions she snags after burning out. Boing to Boeing coms to mind

If this is true, these donors need to be mocked & ridiculed as a bunch of clowns.

They’re not presenting themselves as serious people.

This is a good thing. Every dime they waste on McRombush is a dime they have lost and can’t be used in the general election to help Crime Boss Joey.
