Nikki Haley Iowa Caucus Night Remarks: I love you Iowa! On to New Hampshire!
Nikki Haley's Campaign Web Page ^ | 01/16/2024

Posted on 01/16/2024 7:33:15 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Thank you, Iowa!

We have had an amazing 11 months here in the Hawkeye State.

I came to Iowa early and often. And I kept coming back . . . even though the cold weather is brutal.

The kindness of Iowans will never be lost on me. You’re faithful, patriotic, hardworking Americans.

At one point in this campaign, there were 14 of us running.

I was at two percent in the polls.

But tonight, Iowa did what Iowa does so well.

The pundits will analyze the results from every angle. But when you look at how we are doing in New Hampshire, in South Carolina, and beyond, I think we can safely say . . .

Tonight, Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person race!

Tonight, I’ll be back in the great state of New Hampshire.

And the question before Americans is now very clear.

Do you want more of the same, or do you want a new generation of conservative leadership?

I’ve spoken a lot of hard truths to America.

And here’s another one.

I voted for Donald Trump twice. I was proud to serve in his administration.

But when I say, “more of the same,” you know what I’m talking about.

It’s both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

They have more in common than you might think.

Seventy percent of Americans don’t want another Trump-Biden rematch.

A majority disapprove of both of them.

Trump and Biden are both about 80 years old.

Trump and Biden both put our country trillions of dollars deeper in debt, and our kids will never forgive them.

Trump and Biden both lack a vision for our country’s future . . . because both are consumed by the past, by investigations, by vendettas and grievances.

America deserves better.

We deserve a new direction under new conservative leadership.

We deserve a president who will focus on the needs of our people, not on themselves.

A president who will rebuild our economy, close our border, and stand up to our enemies.

Most importantly, we deserve a president who will stop our self-loathing, end the division and fear, and make America strong and proud!

Our campaign is the last best hope of stopping the Trump-Biden nightmare.

But it’s more than that.

Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections. That’s nothing to be proud of. We should want to earn the support of a majority of Americans.

All the evidence says that if it’s a Trump-Biden rematch, it’s going to be another tossup election. It could go either way. We could have more disputes over election interference. And Joe Biden could win again, with Kamala Harris waiting in the wings. Lord, help us.

And then look at what happens when I go head-to-head against Biden.

We win in a landslide.

It’s not even close.

That means no recounts, no lawsuits, and no doubts.

It means no more Chuck Schumer leading the Senate.

No more endless votes for House Speaker because we’ll have a huge House majority.

We’ll term limit the do-nothing Washington politicians.

We’ll rebuild our economy and secure our border.

And make no mistake, we will restore our national pride. We are blessed to live in America, and it’s time we remembered that.

And as we head to New Hampshire, I have one more thing to say: “Underestimate Me. That’s Always Fun.”

I love you Iowa! On to New Hampshire!

One report said that Christie got 35 votes.

IF so-—HE GOT 35 VOTES OUT OF 110,000.

BEYOND PITIFUL

The delusion is strong in this one.

Not necessarily. Losing politicians rarely believe their own victory speeches.

But it's customary to declare victory regardless of an election's results. It's to maintain the morale of supporters, and keep them working for, and donating to, your campaign.

And that one county contains the University of Iowa...Johnson county is a liberals dream. I’m guessing most of her votes there were Dem crossovers.

Seems to me she is being overestimated and that's even more fun when she inevitably crashes and burns.

I find Nikki’s speaking to be astoundingly annoying.

Watching and listening is even worse with those non-existent "lips" of hers.

Also glad to see Obamaswamy out, hopefully the next Indian will go bye-bye too soon. As if it's not bad enough that the Brahmins already run Silicon Valley.

Quote: “Bottom line, Trump is our next president.”

How? And I don’t mean the pathetic lawfare or any of these ankle biter also rans for the GOP nomination. I mean what has changed? Where is the collapse of the same machine the Dems used to steal 2020?

Until I see some evidence of a change in the real problem, this is all Kabuki.

Well according to polls Nikki Haley is doing a lot better in New Hampshire than DeSantis.

the actual results may say otherwise.

Some Iowans still rely on feed corn.

Here’s the plan…

Hope beyond hope that Haley wins NH or at least makes it close…

She’s down about 15 in the real
Polling no matter how much CNN wants to try to portray their push poll showing it at 7 or 8 or whatever it was.

But anyway, pray she wins or makes it close in NH then push push push, lie
Cheat and steal until SC and hope they can put her over.

Not going to happen but if they get out of NH with anything they can remotely spin as a success the propaganda to will be at a whole other level until SC

Haley is assuming she’ll get a big influx of money from big Jewish donors and compete on SuperTuesday.

So, like mandatory pronouns, we’re supposed to buy in to her delusion? Count me out.

Haley earned third place with the votes from every Democrat that were infected with TDS and still was only to get the votes she received. In a State that has real Republicans voting she is going to get slammed and rightly so, she’s a TDS RINO in the same vein as were Romney and McCain.

I am sure Haley is a great Ambassador but she doesn’t have the
genius of Trump to deal with the massive problems we have domestically and internationally. Trump’s hard track record speaks for itself .

“””I find Nikki’s speaking to be astoundingly annoying.”””


Nikki is only as annoying as DeSantis who complained that his opponents spent $50 million against him while ignoring that the DeSantis campaign has spent more than $200 million against his opponents.

So when she loses to Trump in her own state, that’s a win for her, too? Wow.
