She sure as hell took a great shot at it Tuesday night.
After Trump beat her by 11 points in the New Hampshire primary, she gave a brief speech that she knew would piss him off. And, of most importance to him, she didn't join all the other defeated candidates in kissing his ring/ass.
This drove him over the edge and his "victory speech" was a really ugly sight to behold. He has no grace, and he demonstrated that to the maximum. He put her on his shit list, and he let two former opponents make fools of themselves by kissing his ass during his "moment of victory." And they were more than happy to humiliate themselves for their "Dear Leader."
Nikki isn't dropping out, and I suspect she will push Trump into many more demonstrations of what an incredible, mean--spirited prick he is.
I was never a big fan of Nikki Haley, but at this moment, she's helping remind people what a horribly unhinged creature Trump is. In short, Trump will be the candidate, but Nikki's needling him seems to be helping Joe Biden in the general election.
Keep going Nikki. Right now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I will never understand why so many people who know better just surrender to him.

(20,300 posts)and let's face it, the more cash is donated to Trump, the more he can steal. This has been, from the very beginning, his big grift, the biggest of his life. All the attention he's gotten is just a bonus. If for some reason he quit getting donations to his PAC, he'd start a church so he could get money that way. Actually, I'm surprised he hasn't done that already.

And, given his greed, it might be the first "Church" to charge an entry fee.

(2,695 posts)...I will cast my vote for her. The first day of early voting for the primary in Ohio is on February 21st. Again, the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing.

(91,340 posts)Nikki Haley is doing way better than expected and she is the only candidate not shriveling up at Trumps grade-school insults. More in the media need to notice this Trump expects to walk all over the lady in the stiletto heels and collect all the votes, but there are a significant number of Republican voters saying she is a viable alternative.
I want Trump badly damaged, as we all do. Stiletto heels properly applied can do a lot of damage. Nikki Haley should not drop out.
