Chris Christie Exit Gives Nikki Haley a Critical Boost

The former South Carolina governor’s strength with moderates and independents helps in New Hampshire, but Donald Trump’s working-class support powers him in Iowa and other early states.

    But she still faces a tough challenge in a party that has grown increasingly reliant on working-class Republicans—a group that overwhelmingly backs Trump.

    So, “Chris Christie Exit Gives Nikki Haley a Critical Boost Ahead of Iowa” to secure second place.

        That’s what they’re all banking on, yes. They’re trying to get second place in the nomination in case trump dies, is dq’d, or goes to jail.

        There’s nothing that says he can’t run from behind bars.

      Maybe she will get a trophy, or a certificate of participation. We all know how those republicans get teary eyed when they lose legitimately.

      If anyone other than Trump gets the Republican nomination, Trump will run as an independent and split the vote.

      Democrats aren’t having a presidential primary this year. Democrats should be voting in the Republican primary this year.

        Oh, I would just looooove to see that happen. I doubt it would, but it would be great watching the self-own.

          I mean, Trump hasn’t committed to dropping out and supporting the nominee if he loses.

              Hence why Democrats should be voting in Republican primaries.

    I just don’t see the screaming howler monkeys that is the real con/Republican base going for her, really. Not while donnie is still alive. I bet many of them would vote for him even if he was in prison over her. Because she’s a woman and she’s not white, and I’m sure they’ll call in all the “not a real xtian” and “but where’s the long form birth certificate” stuff out, too.
