With teeth clinched in her familiar -albeit annoying- style of elocution, the Republican with the most support from Democrats drops out of the presidential primary.
Nikki Haley now has the option to run as presidential replacement for Volodymyr Zelensky.
Thus, the final chapter in the billionaire Sea Island donor effort to eliminate Donald Trump comes to an end. As traditional amid the character trait of the professional liars and manipulators, Haley refused to endorse Trump and indicated she never intended to adhere to the endorsement pledge of the Republican Party. Thus, the way of the DeceptiCon RATs continues.
The exit theme she read from the provided script of her departure remarks was the same as her intro theme. Haley declaring her primary qualification was her gender. The script she read was not written by her, and Haley’s delivery was as awkward as one would expect. WATCH:
WASHINGTON – […] In brief remarks, Haley declined to endorse Trump, as most of her other GOP primary rivals have already done, instead urging him to give her more moderate-minded supporters a reason to back him in November.
“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond who did not support him,” Haley said to reporters assembled at her campaign headquarters in Daniel Island, South Carolina. “And I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.”
Haley’s departure follows a brutal series of losses in states across the map on Super Tuesday, where she failed to halt Trump’s momentum. And it marks the end of what remained of the GOP’s nominal attempt at soul-searching this presidential cycle, when few of the dozen candidates who signed up to run against Trump would dare to take him on directly.
Her unsuccessful run leaves her at a personal and professional crossroads — forced to decide whether she will continue her crusade against Trump and his influence on the Republican Party, or endorse him as he becomes the party’s nominee. Haley last year signed a pledge issued by the Republican National Committee to support the eventual nominee, a requirement to participate in the RNC’s primary debates. But in recent days, Haley said she no longer felt bound to the pledge — while telling POLITICO she was unsure if her Trump criticism would continue post-candidacy.
Her standing in the party has taken a hit, too. In her home state, where she had not appeared on the ballot in a decade, Haley finished 20 points behind Trump — and was already hinting her road could be coming to an end. In a sign of how dire her prospects had become, the Koch network’s Americans For Prosperity Action, a powerful conservative group supporting her run, announced after South Carolina it would no longer spend money supporting her campaign. Heading into Super Tuesday, it was only a question of when, not if, she would drop out. (read more)
