Quote:Ahead of South Carolina’s primary election, which will take place on Saturday, former governor of the state Nikki Haley vowed not to drop out even if she loses South Carolina.

"I refuse to quit," Haley told supporters at a "State of the Race" speech in Greenville, South Carolina.

"South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere."

"I’m campaigning every day until the last person votes, because I believe in a better America and a brighter future for our kids."

Haley said Trump was a "disaster" and would "continue to be a disaster," adding that politicians who publicly embrace Trump "privately dread him."

"Donald Trump lost 49 percent of the vote in Iowa. In New Hampshire, Trump lost 46 percent of the vote. That’s not good," Haley said.

Trump won Iowa with 51 percent of the vote, and was declared the winner shortly after caucus voting began. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who later dropped out of the race, received 21.3 percent of the vote, while Haley received 19.1.

Trump won New Hampshire with 54.3 percent of the votes, and Haley received 43.2 percent. A number of voters were seen registering as undeclared to vote for Haley in the election.

Haley began the speech in tears, talking about her husband Michael, who is a major in the South Carolina Army National Guard and is currently deployed.

According to a RealClearPolitics average of polling, Trump lies 57.7 points ahead of Haley for the Republican nomination.

Haley remaining in the race despite low polling numbers prevents Trump from being named the presumptive nominee. Being named such would open up additional joint fundraising opportunities between the Republican National Committee and the RNC.

Hey Nikki, what percentage of the vote did you lose to None of the Above in Nevada?

In her quote she said “I’m not going anywhere.”

At least she knows what the rest of us do.

Nikki Haley: “Donald Trump lost 49% of the vote in Iowa. In New Hampshire, Trump lost 46% of the vote. That’s not good”

Someone tell dipsh*t that Trump broke about a dozen all-time records in his showing in Iowa and NH. I'd call that pretty f*cking good.

It's all about the perception.. Notice she ain't talking about what percentage of the vote she lost in those places...

I wonder what she's trying to prove? There has to be a gimmick going on and I think there's people giving her a lot of advice about her staying for a reason. She was way down in ballots so what is it that she will accomplish?

I think she's hoping that Jack Smith's case against Trump goes to trial before primaries are over and he's convicted. If so Trump will bow out and she's the last person standing.

And she says Trump is the one that makes everything about him.

GET. OUT.

In poker this is called a "tell":

Nikki Haley remaining in the race despite having no chance of winning prevents the RNC from declaring Trump the presumptive nominee and forming joint fundraising committees of which Biden campaign's with the DNC have $130M cash on hand and have already spent $50M+ in swing states

She's working for the establishment.

She's just saying what they always say until the day they drop out. Her donors will say goodbye after she gets stomped in SC.

No they won’t. She is still there and going to stay in to attack Trump for the democrats. She uses their language when speaking of Trump. She has exposed herself and damaged her electability in the party for her lifetime.

With 91 indictments still out there, her gamble is trump will be a felon facing the rest of his life behind bars. Not sure it will matter, though. Delegates will stick with him no matter how much water the SS Trump takes on.

Dummies walked right into the democrat bear traps with his candidacy.

Sorry, double post. I was busy and forgot I had posted this already. Mea Culpa.

BY LAW

If something happens to Trump & she's the nominee, R's lose OH, FL, NC, IA, & IN.
