To use political jargon, Nikki Haley—who has lost primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and her home state of South Carolina—does not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination for president. Still, she is apparently intent on not going down without a fight, and to that end, the former governor has a message for voters: Anyone who votes for Donald Trump has a death wish for America.

    I’m going to say she’s go even further.

    She may be further betting that even if Trump runs, he will lose. If the Republicans lose again, that may well mean they decide to finally throw Trump under the bus. Haley would be in a strong position if that came to pass, setting her up for a 2028 run, or at least a whole lot of “told you so” speaking engagements at significant profit.

      That’s really clever, i didn’t think of it.

      Also Trump won’t be on the ballot in some states (Illinois is in the news today for this reason), that could also be an opportunity for her - unless i misunderstand the american electoral system, which honestly i do most of the time
