      So when is she going to start winning these races against Trump? If she wants to be the Republican nominee in 2024 she’s going to have to start doing that eventually, but everything I’ve read says she’s got almost no chance in South Carolina and I don’t think it gets any better for her after her home state.

      On the other hand, if she doesn’t really care about winning in 2024 and is just getting her name out there for 2028, this “hey, remember that time Haley lost to none of the above?” meme could hurt her.

        She’s not going to beat him in the primary, however there’s a not insignificant chance that Trump flames out (disqualification or conviction) and she’ll be the only candidate left with some delegates and she’ll default her way into the nomination.

          I don’t think this Republican party is ever going to disqualify Trump no matter what he gets convicted of, but I suppose he’s due for a stroke or heart attack or something like that

          But even still, couldn’t the GOP delegates pledged to Trump just pick another candidate if he’s unavailable? Might be a second round of voting at their convention situation, but I think if no one candidate clenches a majority the first time around the delegates can start siding with whoever they want, and I feel like there’s going to be at least a few of them with grudges against Haley (like, it doesn’t take a whole lot for Republicans to start hating women to begin with)

    Trump was not on the ballot, so Trump’s supporters voted for “none of these candidates”

    So, no, Politico, you steaming pile of shit, it’s not worse than people can imagine; people can easily imagine Haley losing to Trump.

      An Indian woman, with immigrant parents, who likes Hillary… beating an old rich man in a right-wing race?

      You don’t say… ;)
