Nikki Haley

She can not win the nomination but she can win New Hampshire. If she wins New Hampshire TFG and MAGA will go nuclear on her and remind persuadables why they despised MAGA and him.

1. Republicans have a real problem, if they manage to beat Trump in the primary, whoever is the nominee can't win

I don’t think Trump will be the nominee after all is said and done.

He will win the nomination by Super Tuesday but be unable to go against Biden from prison. So I think there will be a floor fight at the RNC next Summer and Haley will be on the ticket.

I think Haley can beat Biden if the election were happening in a vacuum (because of third party interference, the media, most people not realizing what a great job Biden has done, and of course, his age), but because Trump supporters aren’t actually Republicans there won’t be enough R votes to get her to 270.

Just my two cents.

They will step in line, plus Independents who hate Trump would vote for Haley in droves. Trump vs. Biden is what I want. He's the easiest to beat imo.

the Iowa caucus will probably kill Vivek and RDS for good and their voters are likely to go to Trump
