Nikki Haley is staying in against the odds. It may hurt her in the long-run. - eviltoast

    The only reason people like Haley stay in a race is because they are maximizing their donation time period…resulting in a massive cash cow of a resource to be used virtually for anything thereafter.

    Haley has made millions. If it wasn’t for Trump, nobody would care about her but more importantly…her donations would be a fraction of what she has now. She knows this and is pretending to fight against Trump but in reality… it’s about her bank account balance.

    If the laws were changed, there wouldn’t be anyone staying in a race after their clear defeat. But since the laws allow a person to accept donations regardless and bank those donations…it’s a fast track to piles of cash.

      Disagree. She’ll spend more than she’ll get and put a target on her back in the mean time with trumps base.

      What she’s hoping is that trump goes to prison before the election and she’s the only viable Republican still standing. She knows she’d win head to head vs Biden. As a woman she’s sees herself as maybe enough to mitigate women leaving the GOP over abortion.
