Apparently, the Susan Collins strain of meaningless "serious concerns" is contagious on the Right. Remember how all those big-name Republicans quite accurately described before the 2016 election the repressive chaos that Preznit Hair Furor would cause and how those "serious concerns" were replaced by serious support as soon as Tiny Hands/Big Mouth got into office?
Presented for your consideration: Data from Star Trek was badly beaten at Space Tic-Tac-Toe by the guy with the latex on his face. In a rematch, Data changed his goal from winning to a stalemate and in the process pissed off the latex man who quit the game in frustration. The lesson here is that even if you can't win directly, you can still fuck up your opponent.
Presented for your consideration: If no one is challenging Pendejo, the RNC can cancel the rest of the primaries as it did in 2020 which saves Pendejo the money he has to spend campaigning in the remaining primary states. Remember the clock is ticking on him sending over a half a billion dollars to NY or they start seizing his properties so he would rather not spend money in primaries.
My hypothesis is that Haley knows she won't win, and that is not her goal. She is staying in the race to fuck with Pendejo and make him spend his money so he doesn't have it in November. It doesn't make her noble. It doesn't make her our friend, but at times the enemy of my enemy can be a useful tool and I'm happy to use that tool when the opportunity arises. So as far as I am concerend, "Run Nikki Run!"
Honestly, just how many registered Republicans are actually voters in the District? As I understand it, most of the Republicans who actually have their legal residence there still register as Democrats, just so they can have something resembling a vote in a city where the Democratic primaries for local offices basically are the elections.
Don't care. The longer she stays in, the more Mango loses his shit. All she needs tomorrow is to win one or two and be competitive in a few. Cheetolini can stew on that until his first criminal trial in a week or two. Dang, I might even send the lady a small check!
What happens if she's in second place by the time of the convention and something involving natural causes has happened to the front runner? Does she still get rejected because all the party officials are cult members?
I hope she stays in and runs as an independent. If she peals away a few percent points among republicans who otherwise would have held their noses while voting for Trump, all the better.
Every ketchup-flinging episode probably incrementally enriches John Kerry, because you know Trump's too arrogant to use an off-brand or generic ketchup. It's Heinz or nothing.
It also wastes money from Republican donors, big and small. The longer she can drag this out, the better, because she and TrumPutin soak up dollars that could otherwise go to Senate and Congressional races, etc.
We don't make fun of people's disabilities here. Scientists spent decades perfecting autotune so that the tone deaf could enjoy lives equal to those who can carry a tune.
She's the first woman to win a Republican primary, so that's a bit of history. Rather like Luxemborg "winning" the Battle of the Bulge, but there you go.
Well! I imagine the hosts of the one, singular, lonely, incongruous Nikki Haley yard sign I have seen in my (blue bubble-- ish, the frats have trump flags) college town and environs will be *inconsolable*.

Ta, Michael. How long till the MAGAts threaten Nikki?
Surely they are already breathing death and destruction at her; you don't blaspheme their One True God and get away with it.
The only reason I want her to stay in because I am sure it pisses the PAB off
Yowzzza!!!!!
"Senator and Mrs. John Blutarski, Washington, DC."
Classic ending reel.......

I'm hoping Haley's supporters will try to disrupt the convention the way Bernie supporters did at the 2016 Dem convention.
Trump wants a coronation at the convention. Deny it to him.
Dorian Gray indeed. Nikki is a shapeshifter. I guess some voters are not as dim witted as they seem; hence her nowhere campaign
“Either you believe in democracy or you took a shit on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.”
That perfectly describes where we are as a country. There really isn’t any room in between.
Haley: " in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes."
>showing that she's a lying opportunist, and equally unqualified for the presidency
So she does recognize the new Republican party!
MAGA is the new Nazi. So many of his foot soldiers already have the 'uniforms' - the hats and the shirts.
The shoes. Don't forget the gold shoes.
I'd be surprised if anyone ever gets the shoes.
I'll be surprised if they even get made.
Okay, so, Haley won the DC Republican primary.

I'm sure her beating him in DC by 30 points has caused a satisfactory amount of rage and ketchup-flinging.

A lot of republican donors are keeping their checkbooks closed because they’re afraid Trump will suck up all the money for his legal bills.
Which is exactly what he plans on doing by installing his tone deaf DIL as co-chair.

It's all good, from the standpoint of destroying the Republican party. I don't particularly care how he does it, so long as he keeps it up.

Dorian Gray portrait, that could very well be. Could be this one...

Hands too small.
'Do you support IVF?'
'Not the way they fucking do it in Alabama I fucking don't!'
Well! I imagine the hosts of the one, singular, lonely, incongruous Nikki Haley yard sign I have seen in my (blue bubble-- ish, the frats have trump flags) college town and environs will be *inconsolable*.
Haley's campaign was competitive at one point?
Up until that first vote was cast, she was tied!!
