From the beginning of the GOP primary season, I said I didn’t think Donald Trump deserved a coronation. Voters needed a choice. I strongly believe that had the race always been a two-person race between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis it would have been a much more competitive race, but that’s not what we got.
We had several candidates run audition campaigns, chipping away at the Trump-alternative vote. That, combined with the various efforts by the Biden administration to imprison Trump on bogus criminal charges, made it impossible for anyone to compete with the pseudo-incumbent.
DeSantis saw the writing on the wall and got out. Now it’s time for Nikki Haley to do the same.
At the moment, that doesn’t appear to be what she’s doing.
"Ron DeSantis has been a good governor, and I wish him well. So far, only one state has voted. Half of its votes went to Donald Trump, and half did not. We're not a country of coronations,” she said in a statement. "Voters deserve a say in whether we go down the road of Trump and Biden again, or we go down a new conservative road. New Hampshire voters will have their say on Tuesday. When I'm president, I will do everything in my power to show them they made the right decision."
So, she’s heading for a make-or-break moment in New Hampshire, which is a foolish endeavor.
Hours before Governor DeSantis officially suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, a CNN/University of New Hampshire (UNH) poll was released showing that his departure will most certainly benefit Trump in the state he was already winning. Among likely GOP New Hampshire voters whose first choice was Ron DeSantis, an overwhelming 62% named Trump as their second-choice candidate, while only 30% opted for Haley.

The poll comes just days before New Hampshire voters cast their ballots in the GOP primary election on Tuesday, where Haley is hoping to pull off an upset in the Granite State. Haley has gained on Trump in the state in recent weeks and is now trailing the former president by 11 percentage points, according to the CNN poll.
The CNN poll showed Trump with 50 percent of support and Haley with 39 percent as DeSantis polled significantly behind.
The results of this poll suggest DeSantis’s supporters in New Hampshire may help boost Trump in the state. However, the poll also found that just six percent of voters selected the Florida governor as their first-choice candidate.
I WOULD BE GLAD TO TELL HER IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE STARTED.
IMO, IT IS FRAUD THAT SHE HAS ACCEPTED A SINGLE PENNY FOR HER “CAMPAIGN”.
Nikki might as well just end it now. She’ll never be the nominee.
A woman scorned....
RE: Nikki might as well just end it now. She’ll never be the nominee.
Nikki Haley will PROBABLY drop out of the race no later than the South Carolina primaries. But you’re right, she should end it now or after NH. It will be a huge embarassment if she officially loses in her own home state.
“Can someone tell Nikki Haley it’s over?”
Naaaa....let the “bird brain’ piss away every single UniParty dollar they have...
The only thing better would be watching the RAT arm of the UniParty going down in flames as well.
As long as money talks, she walks.
“I learned that no matter how unlikely an opportunity may seem, there is always a chance it may be granted to me. I learned to dream bigger and not be intimidated by the size of the project in front of me.”
“I learned how to rise to a challenge. I learned that life’s greatest moments sometimes sneak up on you, so it is really true that success happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

I will, go away Nikita.
icky Nikki is counting on democrats putting Trump in jail before convention. Then she is the only standing candidate.
NIKKI, it’s over.
Would the dems run Haley once they have Biden out of the way? She’d be a great candidate for them and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this is what happens.
I really hope she stays in and gets embarrassed with a huge loss in SC. Then hope we never have to see or hear from her ever again.
Turn out the lights the parties over. They say that all good things must end... I miss Dandy Don, Cosell and Gifford almost as much as I miss Rush.
