And now she’s won Vermont. Glad to see her ruining Trump’s clean-sweep.
This is why I voted for her. I know that trumpie counts every single vote she gets as a vote against him and I am hoping he strokes out before November.
…umm can I say that here? I’m not wishing death on him, just seriously bad health.
I am too, but we all know how Trump will react to losing in Vermont: “Haley cheated!” It’s what he does.
I’m sure that everything in Vermont was honest. But the Vermont and DC primaries that she won, and the other primaries that she lost, also serve to inform Trump of one thing: he’s not liked by everybody. And it’s not like Haley is getting single-digit results in her losses; she’s getting double-digit ones, from 25% to 40% or so of the vote. That’s got to infuriate Trump.
I can’t say whether Haley should continue. That is, of course, up to her. But if she continues, and continues to rack up losses in the double digits (and possibly a few more wins), Trump will have to consider that. “What do they like about her that they don’t like about me?”
But she lost Massachusetts. What other states does she have any chance at all in? Maybe Hawaii?
Don’t count on Minnesota; she lost by 40 points. She’s doing even worse than Mondale in 1984 (he only won Minnesota and DC against Reagan).
Guam, maybe?
She’s out. She’s making an announcement at 10am Eastern.
Formal statement in which she does not endorse Trump:
Well, this was no pick Nik.
Hix Nix Nik Pik
I wish she had waited a week. Taking30- 40 % of the vote in several races means people want to listen to what she says. Let that be heard.
Yet.
Her non-endorsement is well crafted ambiguity.
It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that,
While she doesn’t out and out tell her supporters to vote for him, she does more or less say their votes are his for the taking.
It’s not yet up online as far as I can tell, but several reporters on both CNN and MSNBC said that the Haley people had hinted that she might really slam into Trump–and Trump responded (on his site) to the rumor without even waiting for her speech.
He TROUNCED her! (According to him.) At the end of his longish rant he (or one of his handlers) added a sentence mentioning that he’d be fine if her voters would come over to him:
The thing that drives me crazy about all this is the number of commentators talking about Haley running in 2028 AFTER a Trump 2024 win…as if ANYONE will be able to run for President if Trump wins in 2024.
Opining about Haley’s likely next steps is fine, but on what planet are they living if they think she’ll have any options if Donald gains power? She’d be lucky to escape public execution.
If he gets in, there will be no more ‘running for President,’ folks. Not in the Free and Fair Elections sense.
LMFAO x 2.
Not sure how much to read into this:
And Biden is courting Haley voters:
Well done! You must have written for Variety at some point.
Of course there will be.
The whole reason we have Biden as president right now is because…elections were held 4 years after Trump won a presidential election.
…and the multiple attempts to subvert or overturn Biden’s election through means legal and spectularly illegal failed. This time.
Well said.
An analysis of where Haley voters will go from the BBC. Many of them are “double-haters” who aren’t happy with Trump OR Biden.
