    'The only thing left to do': Trump campaign turns its fire on Nikki Haley to blunt her rise
    Allan Smith and Henry J. Gomez and Matt Dixon
    Thu, January 4, 2024 at 9:10 PM MST·8 min read

    Allies of former President Donald Trump say his campaign’s decision to begin hammering Nikki Haley reflects a new dynamic in the Republican presidential race.

    Haley, the former South Carolina governor, has overtaken Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for second place, they believe, and is emerging as the strongest challenger to Trump in the early nominating contests, which begin Jan. 15 in Iowa.

    The new reality, a half-dozen Trump campaign insiders and other aligned operatives said, is that Haley — not DeSantis, who has staked his campaign’s success on a strong Iowa showing — is positioned to finish second to Trump there, perhaps elevating her in the following week’s New Hampshire primary, in which polls already show her in second place.


    This week, Trump’s team uncorked a 30-second ad in New Hampshire that cast Haley as weak on immigration. The attack was the first TV assault directly from Trump’s campaign, but it followed weeks of attacks by MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC that went on the air in the state last month with a spot scrutinizing Haley’s record as governor of South Carolina.

    “It imposes a ceiling” on Haley’s rise, a source familiar with the Trump campaign strategy said of the new ad.

    Asked whether the campaign viewed Haley as its biggest challenge, a Trump adviser said: “We will still smack Ron around, because why not, and we don’t really see her as a threat, but we understand that the donors are going to try and prop her up.”

    “We get where the money is going,” the adviser added. “But we put Ron on life support, and now it’s time to do the same with Nikki.”

    She's just another Bush Bot. She has no chance of winning, she can't even beat Desantis. If and when the Democrats banana republic regime imprisons and/or assassinates Trump in a Putin style coup, the GOP establishment will appoint a candidate they find acceptable, probably Desantis, a Bush family employee.

    The rational case for President Nikki Haley
    By Kathleen Parker

    ". . . As someone who spent my childhood summers racing up and down the scorching sidewalks of nearby Barnwell, S.C., I can tell you: A person who can make it out of Bamberg to govern and perform on the world stage can do anything, including lead the United States.

    Do the right thing for your country, Iowa, and vote for Haley."

    New Hampshire poll

    Nikki Haley 32%
    Trump 39%
    DeSantis 5%
    Christie 12%

    So, Haley is gaining fast, and the last night townhall shows why. She is a good conservative moderate candidate who has support from multiple factions. Also, when Christie drops out, much of his fan base will shift to Nikki, because they can't stand Trump.

    Trump took a win for granted, which makes sense given his arrogant mindset.

    Stand by for Trump to release an barrage of lies and insults directed at Haley. Demeaning nickname also coming soon.

    Haley cuts Trump lead to 7 points in New Hampshire: Survey

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4397082-haley-cuts-trump-lead-in-new-hampshire-survey/
    Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has slashed former President Trump’s lead in New Hampshire with nearly two weeks to go until the first-in-the-nation primary, according to a survey released Tuesday.

    In the new CNN/University of New Hampshire (UNH) poll, Haley garnered about 32 percent of likely GOP primary voters in the Granite State, an increase of 12 percentage points since November.

    Trump — who remains the front-runner in the GOP primary race, nationally and in New Hampshire — led Haley by 7 points, with 39 percent support from likely Republican primary voters.

    Dumbass Twatwaffle turns ire on Haley as she builds momentum
    By Kristen Holmes, Kate Sullivan and Alayna Treene, CNN
    Updated 11:27 PM EST, Tue January 9, 2024

    CNN — With just days until the Iowa caucuses, former President Utter Prick and his team have shifted to targeting GOP presidential rival Nikki Haley as they seek to slow her recent momentum before the first votes are cast this primary season.

    The turn to Individual 1’s one-time ambassador to the United Nations marks a significant change in strategy for the former president and his campaign. The front-runner had spent the better part of the last year solely attacking Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had long been considered his top GOP challenger. However, recent polls have shown an unmistakable surge for the former South Carolina governor, particularly in New Hampshire, where a new CNN survey showed Evil Toddler’s lead shrinking to single digits.

    But even though he has publicly sought to downplay recent polls – and he still holds a commanding lead over the GOP field elsewhere – Con Fartiste’s team is taking Haley’s rise seriously, with the former president homing in on her stances on immigration as he seeks to emphasize his own hardline proposals.

    :cheerleader: Goooo Haley!

    I don't know who he is trying to impress with such attacks when only his base listens to his BS, and they'll vote for him no matter what. The more he talks, the more support he is losing.

    I can't support her because, as far as I can tell, she's running to become president of Israel rather than president of the nation that I reside in.

    It's "Trump or bust" for me.

    The candidate who is still fatter than three healthy people put together, even after having staple surgery done plenty of years ago, because he can't lay off the krispy kreme donuts.

    Independents often swing the result one way or another. Could be he is hoping to convince them.

    ^^^^^ This person most definitely "gets it".

    Bravo!


    That's another reason why I want Trump to overcome the lawfare and overcome the fraudulent (s)election process and win the candidacy in November... I want people to see just how lost our republic (constitution) really is, and to see who really runs the show, and to see that the RNC is nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC who both ultimately play for the same "globalist elitist" team who wholly despise us "Main Street proles".

    These people will do anything to keep him from physically taking office in January. Whether it be martial law, assassination, some sort of manufactured crisis, Congressional R's joining with the D's to somehow bar Trump from assuming office, or something else entirely, I don't know, but I DO know that they won't allow him to physically take office, even if he IS duly elected by "We The People".

    Knowing all that you still want to vote for Trump?

    It is a lost cause bro. Trump will not be in WH in 2025.

    If I were you, I would just take the day off and get drunk.

    Maybe the mud-slinging approach impresses some people, but I'm glad Haley sticks to discussing her views as opposed to resorting to mud slinging.

    To me, the truly astonishing thing is that (according to these polls) there are that many people who would want Kamala-la-la anywhere in a future administration AT ALL!

    The 'dreadnaught' threat that Republicans should be wary of is a ticket headed by Gavin Newsom, with Michelle Obama as his partner in the VP slot. Newsom would be a magnet for the 'Latinos' and White liberals, and, Michelle would be an even stronger magnet for all (ALL) Blacks and the large 'women-who-vote-for-women-just-because-they're-women' faction....

    Imagine: the Democrats have their convention in August, and Biden stays in the race until then -- tightly keeping control of all his delegates. Then, he decides for whatever reason his handlers choose, he announces he's not running after all -- and throws his support to Newsom/Obama. This kills any chance of 'moderates' in the Democrat Party from nominating someone like RFK, Jr. or Joe Manchin, and leaves the hyperliberal faction in full control!

    She's essentially on record wanting to go to war with everyone, all over the world, over everything, forever and ever. She went from being working class to being a multi millionaire once elected and able to leverage her office so much and in so many ways that it puts Brandon to shame.

    I don't think they need to be vary of a situation which has no chance of materializing. The only way to get Michelle Obama into politics is if you drugged or hypnotized her.

    What if Biden or Trump suddenly leaves the 2024 race?

    Yes.

    There's no such thing as a "lost cause" with the Christian God.

    Maybe... maybe not.

    Nah. I don't drink besides "having one" every once in a blue moon for a special occasion, and I have work to accomplish.
