Super Tuesday is coming, March 5, 2024, but first, we have the South Carolina primaries tomorrow. Nikki Haley is sure to lose, but she’s staying in the race at least through Super Tuesday.

The woman won’t throw in the towel, and people wonder why. Is it simple desperation? Is it just to be a thorn? Or is it to get some other job elsewhere, say, in the media, CNN or MSNBC? I shudder at the thought of that mug being on television. Have you ever noticed she talks through her teeth? Literally? She doesn’t open her mouth when she speaks. Those lips are flapping, but the teeth stay clenched. Sometimes, I can’t even hear what she is saying because of that distraction.

Alright, we’ll move on from my pettiness.

But no one seems to like her. She’s going to lose her own state for crying out loud.

The only hope Nikki has is a Trump conviction.

Nikki Haley: If Trump Is the Nominee — “Mark My Words, He Will Not Win a General Election”

“We will have a female president of the United States, it will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris.”

Her ole worn-out line of, “We’re going to have a female President, it’s either going to be Kamala or me,” is so played.

Haley hasn’t won a single GOP contest. Yet she stands defiant and is going to stay in the race. What in the world?

But she’s getting a ton of cash to stay in the race. She received $16M in January. And there’s more.

Nikki Haley’s Republican presidential campaign has succeeded in siphoning thousands of donors away from President Biden.

The Haley campaign’s Tuesday fundraising report, first obtained by Politico, showed that more than 5,200 donors who gave to Biden’s 2020 campaign have donated to Haley this election cycle. That number includes over 1,600 who gave more than $500,000 to Biden, the outlet reported.

Siphoning is an interesting word to use.

And then you have people who believe she’s staying in the race because winning could mean by any means necessary.

That is Theodore Schleifer in that video, and he has some interesting views on everyone’s campaign funds.

After this weekend, this will continue to be Nikki’s attitude:

“I refuse to quit. South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere,” Haley said during a Tuesday campaign event.

“I have no fear of Trump’s retribution,” she stated. – FOX News

I wonder if she and her donors know something we don’t. But then again, I believe her ego won’t let her step out of the way. Look at me; I am a woman; hear me roar kind of crap. And when she finally decides to suspend her campaign, I don’t suspect she’ll get behind Trump either. Not that he needs her for anything.

It’s a shame how ungracious she has become over the years. She loves to talk about her years as the United Nations Ambassador, but she forgets from whence she came.

However, some donors might be zipping up the purse due to her continued losses.

In recent weeks, some of those donors have tightened their wallets. Billionaire Reid Hoffman, for instance, said he would pause his Haley donations after her loss in the New Hampshire primary. – CNBC

In one interview, Nikki said this:

“Ten days after South Carolina, another 20 states vote. I mean, this isn’t Russia. We don’t want someone to go in and just get 99% of the vote,” Haley told The Associated Press. “What is the rush? Why is everybody so panicked about me having to get out of this race?” – pulled from PBS.org

And, of course, that same article says that some Republicans are urging her to stay in the race until the Convention. You know, in case Trump becomes a convicted felon or stumbles into another major scandal.

She’s spending more than $500,000 on a new television advertising campaign set to begin running Wednesday in Michigan. Her post-South Carolina travel schedule features 11 separate stops in seven days across Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, Utah, Virginia, Washington, D.C., North Carolina and Massachusetts.

The schedule also includes at least 10 high-dollar private fundraising events. – AP News

Hail Mary full of Grace! This gal just can’t accept defeat. But I guess if the money is still rolling in, why not stay in? What else is she going to do? Oh yeah, she could go out and campaign for Trump. Obviously, that’s not happening.

So, what are Haley’s options after this is all over? What say you? Or am I completely wrong in thinking she will not become the nominee?
