In a resounding victory, Donald Trump emerged triumphant over Nikki Haley in the South Carolina Republican primary, dealing a significant blow to Haley's presidential aspirations and bolstering Trump's path to the nomination.

 

The Associated Press swiftly declared Trump the winner as polls closed, signaling his substantial victory in Haley's home state. This outcome underscores Trump's widespread support among South Carolina Republicans and highlights the challenge Haley faces in securing the nomination.

 

Addressing jubilant supporters in Columbia, Trump celebrated the unity within the Republican Party and expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support. Having secured victories in key early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, Trump's dominance in South Carolina further solidifies his frontrunner status.

 

For Haley, a former South Carolina governor and Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, the defeat represents a setback in her bid for the presidency. Despite her determination to continue the race, Haley faces mounting obstacles, including consecutive losses and skepticism about her ability to defeat Joe Biden in the general election.

 

Undeterred by her recent defeats, Haley reaffirmed her commitment to the campaign, citing frustration with the country's direction and her determination to address it. She announced plans for a significant national advertising campaign and a rigorous schedule of rallies and events across key primary states.

 

However, Trump and his allies remain skeptical of Haley's chances, labeling her campaign as a "Never Trump operation" and questioning her reliance on wealthy donors to sustain her bid. Despite these challenges, some view Haley's candidacy as a potential glimpse into the future of the Republican Party and speculate about her prospects in future elections.

 

As Trump shifts his focus to the general election contest against Biden, his campaign confronts legal challenges and mounting financial pressures. Nonetheless, Trump's enduring support among Republicans remains steadfast, bolstered by his aggressive campaign strategy and continued dominance within the party.

 

With Trump's victory in South Carolina, the path to the Republican nomination becomes clearer, while Haley's presidential aspirations face a daunting road ahead. As the primary season progresses, the dynamics of the race are likely to evolve, shaping the future of the Republican Party and the broader political landscape.

"Trump and his allies remain skeptical of Haley's chances"

 

Trump and his allies are making the mistake of at least outwardly believing that Haley thinks any differently. She is a never trumper and will spoil his election by doing a ross perot or a jill stein.

Let the show begin.

According to an exit poll 58 procent of the Haley voters will not vote for Trump.

Which translates into about 10% of republican electors. A deal killer for Trump's chances. It's why MAGA are panicking about her.

The first biden - Trump debate will be amazing entertainment.

There's 2 chances that Trump will agree to debate Biden or Haley. None and Buckley's.

Good news. It's better for the Dems to have Trump against Biden, rather than Haley against Biden.

haley cannot beat Trump, even with democratic help.

 

MAGA is on a MEGA rip and the dems and their candidate are the ones in panic mode and trying so desperately to jail Trump.

I'm willing to bet Fanni and luver boy Wade may get banged up for perjury soon, right after they get tossed from the bogus RICO case and disbarred, permanently down south in Fulton Co. Joe-Jaw. LOL

 

Keep up the good work Niki.

I believe that Trump will emerge from his hole as the next president of the US.

 

Such a POTUS is Trump.

 

Our entire world is becoming stranger and stranger....FAST.

 

As my friend Neuman so aptly begged the question:

 

What, me worry?

 

No, actually, I am not worried.

Why?

Just because the pendulum has now swung so far off to one side, and still swinging away, that, these days, I feel there is no longer any POINT in worrying.

 

And, as well, even the hardworking Chinese, many of them, are lying flat.

 

I think I will do the same.

 

I do now believe that the end of the world is nigh.

And, most of us are not in a position to make any meaningful change in this expected outcome.

 

Species come an go, as we all know.

Evolution is not only a "Theory", it is probably the closest thing to being a "Fact" of science.

 

Therefore, ....

What, me worry?

 

Not on your life!

Yes, we Independents will make sure Trump is smoked again. Haley was going to open up a race.

I actually wouldn't mind if she wins. She is not overtly racist, is not a wanna be white nationalist like Tim Scott and will support Ukraine. At this point, that's all that really matters.

Another step closer to the Office of the Presidency. After being sworn in as the 47th POTUS ,the Marine band will play,

Hail to the Chief! 

Out goes the old and in comes the new! God bless the Republic.

 

He jokingly said he was setting up a table on the steps of the Capital after the inauguration to start signing Executive orders.

If your old school and believe the pendulum has gone to far left, then it

must be corrected.

4 years of nudging ,is a start!

 

What a mess for him and others to clean up !Fortunately Trumps been there ,done that before!

There wasn't much suspense anyway. It was obvious that Trump would win the primaries. Haley probably knew it too. She has longer-term objectives.

It is NOT my job to clean up the mess of the world.

I take no responsibility for the mess.

And, neither should you, or most people.

 

A main fallacy going around is that the LaoBaiXing are responsible for the problems of the world.

This is just not true.

Neither are we in any position to rectify the major problems of the world.

 

note:  LaoBaiXing is a common term which means...   (lǎobǎixìng) – literally "old hundred names", in reference to the most common Chinese surnames – is a common term for "ordinary folk" or "the man on the street". 

 

Trump performed badly considering he's a virtual incumbent. 60 percent.

Biden got over 95 percent in the same state.

Of course the world's greatest grifter will win the nomination except IF:

health crisis

OR 

legal crisis 

Haley should stay in the race until the convention just in case.

If she eventually does endorse Trump, which of course she will, may she live in infamy.

Biden has no opposition. Nikki is attracting the female vote. Trump beat Hillary. Trump will win in 2024 against an 82yo.

There are reasons to believe the exit poll analysis because of its consistency. 
 

Iowa primary has the same reactions from Nikki’s supporters where half have stated they will vote Biden. New Hampshire primary 47% voters will not vote Trump if he is convicted. Worrying signs for Trump.

Just the media writing stories. They said Trump wouldn't win in 2016, they even said he wouldn't win the nomination. They were wrong as usual.

Those are polls of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations NOT media stories. You don’t understand elementary information or just recalcitrant.

The election is at the end of the year and exit polls are often wrong. The choice is 82-86yo or Trump with less wars, less border chaos. Easy decision.

Trump fading fast in support and mental fitness. 10 months worked at a disadvantage for him. He is showing rapid cognitive decline in rallies and losing public support on border by not supporting the bipartisan immigration bill. His pro Putin rhetoric has put him in a bad position that he invite war.

He is rising in the polls and Biden dodged the Superbowl because he is declining rapidly.

I think it would be very uncomfortable and after five minutes pretty boring. You ever watch a Trump rally rather than the supposed highlights - that is a boring man. Biden is no entertainer either. 

Trump will bring out his greatest hits and then it will be if Biden can be lucid enough to point out his successes and his opponents flaws. He's been good at that in the past - focusing on the risk that Trump brings. Once we see if Biden is up to a 2020 type performance it will probably be pretty flat from there in my opinion.
