Question: Is Nikki Haley of any value to us Normals? Stay in till the bitter end, get out asap, does it matter?
That's what I have been cogitating on all day.
What's our objective? To bury Trumpie and Trumpieism once and for all time.
Does Haley offer any help in attaining our goal?
I have concluded no. She is not going to win the nomination and thank God for that. We Want Trump. She is getting under Trumpie's skin:
“She didn’t win — she lost."
Hmm. When you have to state the obvious...
“NIKKI CAME IN LAST, NOT SECOND!”
“I don’t get mad. I get even.” (AP)
There is a chance, and it is a chance that the Nikkle & Dime team are raising, of a Black Swan event:
Her advisers insist she will stay in the race to serve as a vehicle for
those anti-Trump forces who are still hoping he might be forced out of
the race by his legal problems, or perhaps a health emergency. (AP also)
I honestly had never thought of a "health emergency". I understand that to be a physical event, like a heart attack or stroke and I don't wish that on him. I suppose there's a chance he could have a nervous breakdown. I would be fine with a nervous breakdown...But how would we even know with him? lol. I honestly have no idea what Haley's team is thinking of by that. There is a chance I suppose, there is always a chance with him, that he blows a gasket, say in front of a judge. Or loses it and punches out Melanoma. He could lose it and punch out Haley, but he will never get close enough to her (plus his hands are so small, have you seen them?) I was really taken by "health emergency". But enough. Does Haley serve some speculative purpose in provoking Trumpie? No. Know why? Who would be the beneficiary? HALEY! That's what her own team is thinking. We don't want Haley to get the GOP nomination. WE WANT TRUMP! So it's best (for us) for her to get out.
And at least for now, the 52-year-old former South Carolina governor still has math and donors on her side.
Trump cannot mathematically secure the delegate majority he needs to become the presumptive nominee before Super Tuesday on March 5. And, in exactly one week, Haley is scheduled to embark upon a fundraising tour that includes stops in New York, Florida, California and Texas.
Her campaign is also launching a new $4 million advertising campaign in South Carolina that begins Wednesday. (AP)
