Haley spent NOTHING in Nevada and appeared there ONCE. One third is a COLLOSAL amount in a State where the entire Republican Machine is against you.

“None Of These Candidates was immediately doxxed on social media, SWATted in a false 911 call to Las Vegas Police, and gunned down by cops.”

Pour one out for Art Hoppe, highly underrated political satirist at the SF Chronicle. (Art Buchwald? Meh ).

He always ran a 'Nobody for President ' campaign, because Nobody will cut your taxes, Nobody will bring peace, Nobody will balance the budget, etc......

Haley is hanging in there only on the off chance that Donnie gets tossed from the ballot, in a state where it matters.

The real crime is that the Rs let Trump on the ballot after he dodged all the debates. If he really wants to be a candidate he needed to go on a debate and prove that he's a better candidate than that head of lettuce in the fridge.

This reminds me of Richard Pryor’s “none of the above” campaign in Brewster’s Millions.

A very underrated movie from the 80s, btw.

Nikki Haley is the first one to lose to Nobody since Polyphemus.

But Polyphemus played the nepotism card and got his dad to make things significantly harder for Nobody.

Well, in Nikki's defense, "Nobody" put up one heckuva campaign.

“None of these candidates” is now considered to be ahead of Elise Stefanik in the race for Trumps VP, but remains in the running for Miss Incongeniality.

I'm probably late to this but:

Nobody brought peace to our time, lowered taxes, balanced the budget, fed the hungry & destitute, established a corporate death penalty, created free health care, ordered Congress & Senate to use same benefits as "The People," reminded everybody Jesus said, "Love one another" (NOT murder or maim), and ...bakes apple pie better than Mom!

The list of things Nobody has done for this nation is long, to be sure. When I think of the perfect candidate, Nobody comes to mind.

I know none of these candidates. You, sir, are no none of these candidates.

I went to college with None. He was the quiet type. Who knew he'd be a successful politician?
