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.

They’re RINO-globalist/ leftist-demonKKKrat “fundraisers”, so the money just keeps on coming into her accounts.

Hey Nikki, why don’t you call it a day in running for the presidency. I hear there is a position open in Arizona for a GOP chairman.

Haley is being paid off by donors of the GOP establishment to remain the race to attack Trump and help Biden.

If she's going to be whore and collect a paycheck for doing so, she needs to be humiliated by voters and greeted by hecklers wherever she goes.

“please clap.”


With her documented extra-marital history, Jebbie better hope he doesn’t catch the clap.

Billionaires with cash to spare or going to keep funding her campaign, even if they acknowledge she has virtually no chance of winning the nomination?

Is it all to make a political statement against Trump, so they can virtue signal about how they contributed to Nikki Haley instead of Trump?

"...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.'

Truth be told, this is why a lot of celebrities and others with too much money support wacky causes-- because they want to impress their friends and potential benefactors at the fancy parties.

Photo of the Glimmer Twins II to replace Mick Jagger and Keith Richardson:

Nikki brings out the charismatic secret weapon to wow the crowds across the nation. Will have an ambulance to wait in front of all venues for people who pass out from excitement.

Trump: Darn it all. How am I supposed to counter that?

The rich billionaires are hosting the events... to attract other people.

I think reading between the lines that they are not the ones giving money to Haley, but they are hoping to rope in other suckers to the events so that the people that attend give money to Haley.

That rally stinks. If you are a billionaire that believes in Haley’s chances, then write a check and be done with it. Why try to involve other hard-working people, other people with a lot less money than you and ask them to fork out money? Seems hypocritical to me.

Good one.

Too bad outdoor toilets are rare. Those recycled paper earth friendly Haley brochures would help clean ups.
