Nikki Haley 2024 - Nimarata Nikki Haley (née Randhawa) - Jan 20, 1972 (Poll)

I guess Haley doesn't subscribe to the theory that Michelle Obama is going to swoop into the DNC conference and seize the nomination.

Haley: When we look at the situation, we will have a female president. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris.

[RTH10260]

how does she get to do that without mentioning HER EMAILS!!!

Nikki Haley blasts Trump for playing politics with the border:

“I think nobody should be playing politics with the border. He shouldn't be getting involved telling Republicans to wait until the election because we don't want this to help Biden win.”

[raison de arizona]

She's taken her show on the road.

Nikki Haley: “It’s irresponsible to say that Congress has to wait until a general election because Trump is worried that he’s going to lose. There’s a lot of reasons we gotta worry Trump’s going to lose, but you don’t sacrifice national security to do it.”

. . . but you don’t sacrifice national security to do it.”

The Republicans do and have for quite a while.

Peace loving MAGAts.

Nikki Haley has requested Secret Service protection due to threats she’s receiving.

Haley is really taking it to tfg and I'm here for it.

Nikki Haley says the real reason Trump wants her to drop out is because he is drowning in legal fees:

“Of his campaign donations, he paid $50 million in legal fees...It’s clear why he wants me to get out of the race. It's because he needs more money to pay his legal fees.”

Apparently Haley is losing to ‘none’ in Nevada.

Apparently Haley is losing to ‘none’ in Nevada.

The Nevada primary is just a beauty contest (the caucus awards delegates).

But coming in second in a one-person race is sad.

It was actually a seven person race. It's just that the media only mention Haley...

Two had dropped out (Scott and Pence). One was gadfly Castro. The rest were neverwas "candidates."

Yeah, this is kinda grim for Nikki. POLITICO top story:

Worse than you can imagine: Haley loses to ‘none of these candidates’ in Nevada
The defeat, while symbolic, was a major embarrassment for the former South Carolina governor.
***
Trump’s campaign brass immediately seized on Haley’s poor showing in the Silver State, contending that her soldiering on in the primary was part of what Chris LaCivita, a top Trump adviser, called Haley’s “ delusional tour.” Democrats, too, were quick to mock Haley, with David Axelrod, the former Barack Obama adviser, asking if Haley “ regrets not debating ‘None of these Candidates.’” Haley has sought to play up Trump’s refusal to debate her.
***
Pausing to contemplate his choice outside a public library in Northwest Reno, Scott Knecht described Trump as a “great president,” but one incapable of acting or sounding presidential. He took umbrage at Trump’s dismissal of Haley as a “bird brain.” “She’s a lot of things, but she ain’t a fucking ‘bird brain,’ that’s for sure. She’s a very smart, accomplished woman,” Knect said.

Republican National Committee wants Nikki Haley to drop out to boost funds
Exclusive: RNC reported $8m in cash to spend, less than half of what it had in 2016, as it starts preparing for the 2024 election

Top officials at the Republican National Committee want Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, to drop out of the race for the GOP nomination so it can launch a joint fundraising committee with Donald Trump to bolster its finances, according to people familiar with the situation.

The RNC last week reported $8m in cash to spend in its year-end filing, an amount less than half of what it had when Trump was running for the presidency in 2016 and below what it needs to stand up operations as it prepares to take on Joe Biden in the general election.

The issue for the RNC has been the lack of direct revenue, with small-dollar donors seen to generally prefer to donate directly to the Trump campaign and larger, institutional donors who dislike Trump preferring to donate directly to challengers like Haley, the people said.

While the RNC was slightly buoyed with a $12m haul in January, RNC leadership has discussed in recent weeks the need for Haley to exit the race so they can as soon as possible launch a joint fundraising committee with Trump, which would allow wealthy donors to write checks larger than $800,000.

The RNC does not technically need Haley to drop out to do joint fundraising agreements – it partnered with Trump in 2016 before the former Ohio governor John Kasich dropped out – but, the thinking goes, if Haley were out, the RNC could pick up her large-dollar donors who want to support the party but not Trump directly.

RNC leadership have suggested privately they don’t have any inherent preference for one candidate over the other. But with polls showing Trump as the clear frontrunner after his wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, they see Haley as the likely loser who should take the fall, the people said.

They have also recognized that Haley may not drop out for some time, and the RNC has created a joint fundraising fund called the “Presidential Republican Nominee Fund 2024” to collect and store checks in the interim, the people said. The newsletter Puck earlier reported the fund.

Caught Nikki Haley on Hannity. Haley said that the whole Nevada caucus thing was cooked up between tfg and his buddy, and that they attempted to extort $55k from her to put her name on the ballot. She declined, hence tfg reigning supreme.

During a rally in South Carolina on Saturday, Donald Trump — who is rarely joined by his wife Melania for campaign events — made a low blow at his opponent Nikki Haley's personal life, and she didn't take long to respond.

Speaking to potential voters, Trump went into a rant about Haley and her husband Michael, saying, “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone. He knew.” And what wasn't mentioned in discourse on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after his comments were made, Haley was happy to fill in herself.

"Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about," she wrote in a post to X, along with a clip of Trump's tirade. "Someone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families has no business being commander in chief."

She should have.

But she'll be on board with the orange man once he's sewn up the nomination. Just like Cruz did after Trump insulted his spouse; Trumpsuckers have no spine.

Either Donald Trump is openly insulting military families, or he got confused again and doesn’t know my husband is deployed. Either way, he isn’t up to the task of leading the greatest fighting force in the world.

[RTH10260]

The old guy is totally uninformed and just cause the husband never appeared next to her assumed in the media assumed that something is amiss with the family.

Hmm. Wonder where he could have gotten that projection.

[Slim Cognito]

I wonder if that just came out of nowhere. One would think that somebody on his staff would find out where Haley's husband is if it was a suggested strategy.

Well, not out of nowhere. He just says shit that comes out of, um, you know.
