Welcome to The Campaign Moment, where the last major non-Trump and non-Biden candidate is now out.

The big moment Today the key moment is Nikki Haley dropping out of the presidential race the morning after Super Tuesday and effectively bringing the Republican primary contest to an end.

Haley announced her exit Wednesday after winning the Washington, D.C., primary on Sunday and Vermont on Super Tuesday, but losing more than 20 other contests to Donald Trump.

“I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard,” Haley said. “I have done that. I have no regrets.”

Haley declined to endorse Trump yet, urging him to convince her voters to support him. Haley’s lack of endorsement stood in contrast to many reluctant establishment voices, like GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday, rallying around Trump.

The Reagan GOP would have rightly concluded that Haley was an ineligible rat plant.

The Washington Post didn’t understand Reagan voters then and doesn’t understand Trump voters now.

These same people despised Reagan and accused him of just about everything they accuse Trump.

GOPe Gumby Reagan, you can bend him into any shape you want. Reagan hated middle America now, would go to war for Nazi Ukraine, and wants open trade with China and globalism.

The GOP establishment hated Reagan. Now they hold him up as the poster child of the establishment.

Good Lord, the Compost thinks its readers are so stupid that they’ll believe Haley is like Reagan. Haley is most like Mitt Romney … except a little dumber.

The way the establishment talks about Reagan reminds me of the scene in “Talladega Nights” where they all put out their idea of how they imagine Jesus.

The Reagan GOP has been through the horrible of the years of the Bush GOP, and returned, reinvigorated and reborn as the Trump GOP.

nearly fifth years ago, Reagan was a man for the times. Today, Trump is.

I knew Ronald Reagan (metaphorically), and Nikita Rodham Birdbrain is no Ronald Reagan.
