Schadenfreude: Nikki Haley defeated by 'none of these candidates' in Nevada; Voters clearly want Trump and Trump is going to be the nominee, as for Haley, she's wasting her time

Is it time for Nikki Haley to pack up her campaign baggage and get the heck home?

Sure looks like it.

Because out in Nevada, the primary results came out like this:

Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada on Tuesday, receiving far fewer votes than the "none of these candidates" option, according to the Associated Press.

With 86% of the votes counted, Haley received less than half (20,799, or 30.8%) of the 42,534 garnered by "none of these candidates."

It was a contest that former President Donald Trump did not compete in and which the state party tried to have canceled. Nonetheless, a combination of intense support for Trump and distaste for Haley among Republican voters in the state combined to deal her an unusual humiliation.

That's bad. That's like being defeated by a dead guy.

Because even though President Trump was not on that ballot -- he was on the ballot, he was "none of these candidates" and voters knew it. Haley probably thought she had a 'gimme' with the Nevada contest with no Trump in the picture, but in reality, she was competing against President Trump same as she was everywhere else and will continue to compete against him. 

And well, Nikki was in for a surprise.

The voter cohesion that made that result possible was pretty impressive, like a write-in candidate winning an election. Yet with Trump, that was possible.

Which pretty well tells us the primaries are over -- the voters want Trump and Trump is going to be the nominee, and as for Haley, she's wasting her time.

You'd think this would be clear to her, what with the results in Iowa, which is conservative, New Hampshire, which is moderate and allows Democrats to vote in the primary, and now Nevada,

“...as for Haley, she’s wasting her time”

Democrat money is just as green as everyone else’s.

She was clearly hoping to “win” the primary even those it would be an empty win (no delegates). She didn’t even pull that off. She is disliked by at least 2/3 of the voters who showed up. Maybe more, if some people felt they had to choose someone rather than “none of the above”.

In any case, she snatched defeat. She doesn’t even get bragging rights. But, since she gets almost all her funding from Democrats they will keep funding her to bash Trump throughout the primary. She should just stop.

I think it’s safe to say that we are clearly past the point of assuming she is a democrat operative.

At this point, what the GOPe is doing is a rough equivalent of this:

She’s not going anywhere. She’s counting on Trump getting tossed in jail.

I don’t know it for a mortal fact, but since she knew Trump was not on the ballot AND she decided not to partake in the cauvus, I presume she was hoping to get the bulk of the votes by ballot. Maybe she was unaware of the NOTA ballot, or thought it wouldn’t actually be a big factor, or thought she had enough support to overcome it.

“She's counting on Trump getting tossed in jail”.

Sounds like some of the “Usual Suspects” that pop up on this site pushing anyone but Trump. They should be around later. ;)

Wonder what Today's Meme will be after Nicky got smoked last night.

As sick as that is, that could be true. There were even some posters on FR that expressed as much.

The concern trolls got humiliated last night.

I am beginning to think 2024 is going to be our year.
