16. Haley may be considered sane by comparison

She is not the brightest star in the constellation, although neither was W, and he still got in.

On the other hand, she has made some incredibly stupid statements, and will make more. She will provide us with more ammunition than we need in case she does get the nomination, which I doubt. DeSantis is almost as offensive as Trump, and thus probably a longer shot for their nomination than Haley, no matter what happened in Iowa.

I believe that this is till Biden's to lose unless the Republicans ditch their extremists and nominate someone serious like Larry Hogan, Chris Sununu or Charlie Baker. All three have so far said, "not interested," and I believe them all. That, in itself, should tell us a few things. I agree that Harris, though improving, has not proven to be much of an asset, and I continue to believe that Biden was talked into her over his first choice, but that is now ancient history. It is now Harris's job to be as much as asset to Biden's re-election as she possibly can, and if she does not wake up every day asking, "what can I do to help?" then she is a liability and not an asset.
