As she plans to head to Michigan on Sunday, Haley is combating a steep decline in support among Republican voters. Still, the cash keeps pouring in.

    She’s staying in the race just in case Trump is found ineligible to run. That way she gets to be the one remaining option. Happy to let her be a spoiler candidate if Trump makes it to the general, though.

      I could see her thought process being something like:

      1. Stay in and get as much good will as she can.

      2. Trump is found ineligible or something

      3. Haley wins primary by default

      4. Haley props up trump as a martyr and promises to pardon him or some shit if she wins

        3. Trump is new dictator

      Not to mention, trump’s hold on the party is… not as solid as he pretends. It’s far from a landslide.

      The Republican Convention this year is going to make 1968 Chicago look like a quinceañera.

      Edit: Oh god, it’s in Milwaukee. That’s like seceding from the Union and then putting your new capitol city 100 miles from Washington DC.

        These people are nothing if not “traditionalists”. I’m sure it’s so they don’t have to think.

      I’m registering as R in my state’s primary just to take a vote away from Trump.
