Nikki Haley has yet to win a primary contest and is so far behind Donald Trump in the polls that it made little sense why she didn't drop out after New Hampshire. Many noted at the time, myself included, that she had no viable path to winning the nomination, yet she treated her second-place finish in a two-person race in New Hampshire as some sort of victory. She went on to lose big in the Nevada primary to "none of these candidates."
As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, polls show that she is on the verge of losing big in her home state of South Carolina — a state she served as governor. Is she going to add to her growing list of humiliations by continuing her campaign?
On Monday night, her campaign sent out a media announcement that she intends to deliver a "State of the Race Speech" on Tuesday in Greenville, S.C.

Naturally, this announcement has prompted speculation that Haley intends to drop out of the race rather than face a humiliating defeat in South Carolina. Honestly, her campaign died in New Hampshire, we're just waiting for her to finally bury it, and it's hardly unreasonable to speculate that Haley (and perhaps her big donors) have decided it's time to get the shovels out.
The problem with her dropping out now is everyone will know the reason why. The latest Winthrop University poll of the GOP primary in South Carolina puts Trump at 65% support compared to Haley's 29% — a commanding 36-point lead for Trump.

Didn’t they just grant her SS protection as a candidate yesterday? Hmmmm.
She will only drop out if she makes the right decision.
I rather doubt it.
Lust for power.
Hatred of Trump.
Ego.
Inertia.
Stubbornness.
Nah. She’s init for the long run. She said so. And we all know she tells the truff.
Is that Secret Service protection detail transferrable by her to RFK Jr.? I’m thinking that he needs it ongoing.
Not likely to drop out completely but may “ suspend “ her campaign for now.
She will change parties and be on Newsom’s ticket.
I’m a contrarian and against what most here believe I think she will ‘pause’ her campaign. It is a waste of her time and resources. Tim Scott as VP and Nikki Nikki Nikki runs for Senate with his backing. You heard it here first.
Rather than the state of the race, its the state of her mental health that is becoming clear. She’s all of the things you cite.
Interesting, change branches of the uniparty, and be on either Nuisance’s or RFK, Jr.’s ticket...
The polls have consistently showed her losing by at least thirty percentage points in South Carolina.
But..wait for it...they show that will be her best performance in any medium sized or large state.
The Texas and California numbers are mind-boggling—something like a sixty percentage point lead by President Trump.
I think Nikki is over—as in Liz Cheney over....
She won’t be able to run as a dog catcher—as a Republican.
I don’t think the Democrats want her either.
“She will change parties and be on Newsom’s ticket.”
************
Very possible. She’s a conniving opportunist who wouldn’t hesitate to change parties if she felt it was to her advantage. She’s already in debt to Democrats for supporting her so why not make it formal and switch?
"There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it." Quirinus Quirrell under the total control of Lord Voldemort...
Could it be that Haley wants to be in a position to jump in if anything unforeseen — and highly unlikely, I pray — should happen to President Trump between now and November. I really think this is what she’s doing.
Republican delegates hate her guts.
Stalin has a better chance to get the nomination.
(Trump/MAGA).
She must be assuming that the other candidate will be in prison...or something else.
