1. She’s waiting out a Spring Surprise

It’s a calculation that Trump’s would-be usurpers have surely been making for a long time: Be the last one standing in case Trump’s legal problems ultimately bring him down. The former president is going on trial in about a month, after all.

The problem is Trump’s issues have shown no sign of slowing him down in the GOP primary.


quote:

2. She has no other immediate ambitions

Haley on Tuesday spoke like someone without much to lose or any political aims beyond this race


quote:

3. Because she can afford it

Many candidates drop out because they don’t want to damage their brand. But plenty do so for a very simple and more practical reason: They can’t raise the money to keep going.


quote:

4. She truly worries about Trump

Haley is not about to turn into Liz Cheney, the former GOP congresswoman drummed out of office because she turned strongly against Trump over Jan. 6. But nor should we rule out that she truly worries about another Trump term and where he’s taking the party.

the only reason she is staying in is because the money (much of it dark money) is still flowing in.

Haley knows she has no hope of even being elected dog catcher in Greenville.

She will do as as her overlords instruct her and then slink back to making millions with the MIC after this election.

She is no different than Liz Chaney from an electability stand point.

She sure is making a whole bunch of enemies out of the same exact people who she would need to ever be a viable Republican candidate moving forward, i.e. Trump’s base and Trump supporters in general. Yes, her tactics are quite confusing.

She's becoming more unhinged by the day.

Establishment told her to remain in the race and that they will try their best to arrest him.

It's much simpler than that.

There is still a small chance she could win due to Trump's legal situations or a health issue affecting him. He is 77 after all. (Not that I am predicting that, just answering the question).

If he wins, she is screwed whether she drops out now or later. Plus she won't a job equal to what she had last time. She won't be his VP, if he wants a woman he will choose the one from upstate NY. If he wants a minority it will be Tim Scott.

She is making contacts now and if...IF...Trump loses, she has a head start on next time, she can go around saying "see, I TOLD you he would lose!" but she still has collected a lot of business cards, picked up some donor lists, etc.

You forgot the main reason. She is having the best sex of her life with campaign staffers.

I worry about Nikki’s whore arse screwing it for the rest of us instead of just getting herself screwed.

Another possibility is that she just enjoys being pampered and catered to like a queen. There's is 0% chance she'd be the nominee. Even if Trump was out of the race the Republicans would choose someone else. Nobody likes this cooter's annoying arse voice

Being that it is obvious that the corrupt Deep State will never surrender power, Trump Nation should make it clear to Haley that the will NEVER vote for her regardless of any Dem that might run. And this feeling is likely why the duplicitous Haley is in the race. She is a Deep State/aNevwr Trump plant. And watch and see, even if MAGA makes this highly publicly clear, she stays in. I wouldn’t trust Haley with care of my dogs.

I just can’t figure out who/what continues to foot the bill for her to stay in. Of particular interest is the cost/benefit analysis of the matter that IMO is heavily weighted on the cost side, while very questionable on the benefit side.

They are going to take Trump out, d. Why wouldn’t they as the MSM would rejoice along with half the Nation. They know that the Right won’t take up arms and that is all that they have to know to continue their “fundamental change”.

I just don’t see how they could be truly convinced that their efforts to take him out are gonna succeed. But then again, how could I possibly understand their thought processes there…..it would be weird if I could, I reckon.

But even with their flawed beliefs and expectations re: taking Trump out, how does Haley play into that? shite there I go again, trying to understand the non-understandable, trying to explain the inexplicable.
