To use political jargon, Nikki Haley—who has lost primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and her home state of South Carolina—does not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination for president. Still, she is apparently intent on not going down without a fight, and to that end, the former governor has a message for voters: Anyone who votes for Donald Trump has a death wish for America.
Probably don’t want to just believe that her words reflect her stances. Much like McConnell, she’ll say whatever she thinks she needs to say to help accomplish her personal goals.
World is a complicated place, especially when you’re trying to not fall quickly to a purge, which is pretty clearly a goal she has. Otherwise she’d be gone by now.
Honestly, at some point the “good” republicans are probably going to have to jump ship and start a new party, because the republican base has shown they’re too focused on the trumpist candidates. I’m not confident that any of them have the stones to do it, though. But maybe if they get spanked in November they’ll finally see the writing on the wall.
