Haley playing some chess. (and not dropping out)

It’s a shame she still has no chance.
She needs to be talking about the fact that he's gonna owe about a half billion dollars and how easily he can be bought out by foreign nations.
I still think she's hanging in there hoping that he goes to prison or something and the bottom falls out.
I think it's a really outside shot like maybe 5% at best, but it's the best chance of anyone other than Trump being the Republican Nominee.

She might have had a better chance if she would have come out of her coma several months earlier. When she first came out, she must have been a little fuzzy still because she was running against Joe Biden instead of trump.
If Trump goes kaputz then she has a chance. That has to be her play.
Really smart move on her part. Trump may very well be convicted by April . If she maintains her campaign and funds, it would be hard for anyone else to catch up to her if he is no longer viable.
I think it's better than 5%. I think it's at least even money Trump has to drop out.
Where was this courage 6 months ago?
Easy to say now that you have nothing to lose really.
I don't think his ego would let him. He would run from prison.
Best chance is he goes to prison, looks at the polls realizes she has a much better chance of winning than he does, drops out and endorses her so that she can immediately drop him a pardon the minute she's sworn in.
But that plan is going to rely upon prison causing Trump to put aside his ego.
Yeah, this sounds more like a calculated hail mary than deeply held conviction. It wasn't that long ago that she said she would pardon Trump if elected.
Happens almost every election cycle where the candidate "lets their hair down" after there is no chance to win.
And just two days ago said she would pardon Trump if convicted. Pretty embarrassing.
Yup, she spent entirely too much of her campaign against Trump, bowing down to Trump so his supporters wouldn't be upset. It's too late for this bullshit now.
It's the only play she has. There's no way she can win the nomination in the future so it's now or never. She's hoping trump goes to prison. She has the non-trump republican vote. For the trump vote, as someone else said, she'll pardon trump to make them happy.
She's nothing but a coward to me. She bent the knee to Trump and will vote for him if he's the nominee. I'm not forgiving Republicans like her any time soon. They brought that clown onto the country.
It's too late for us, but not for non-logical Republican voters.
I’ll never understand the approach by the non-Trump candidates. They basically repeated the 2016 game plan and campaigned against each other, expecting Trump to collapse or something.
Do you mean for the few remaining rational republicans?

It's too bad Nikki didn't go after Trump much earlier in the primaries. Trump and his merry band of MAGA/Putin supporters have this one already locked up.
The question is what will she do if Trump bows out because he is convicted or for health issues? Will she pivot as well and bend the knee to Trump? She probably will have to.
Yep, she really got him!
It’s too bad she didn’t do it before she lost to “None of these Candidates” in Nevada.
What a dope

With it still very much a possibility that Trump will be ineligible to president by the time we reach November… I was actually pretty surprised more people didn’t stick around.
I think it’s a good move to continue to stay in the race.
I not huge into politics like everyone on here. With that said I don’t know a single person that caucuses yet I know lots of people that vote. Meaning I don’t know the extreme nut jobs on either side
I believe she could get a lot of votes from the people that can’t stand trump but never caucus for anyone.

Haley: “I saw firsthand as ambassador to the United Nations that Donald Trump put America first.”
I'm guessing money was the issue. But you're right, someone like Chris Christie should have kept his name in there just as an option down the road. I'm thinking in a general election Christie might do pretty well.
Well, Don is gonna be bankrupt after the recent civil cases in New York.
Might as well stay in till the end.
