Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is ending her campaign, ceding the nomination to Donald Trump and setting up a rematch of the 2020 election against President Joe Biden, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

So weird.

Eh, not really weird. She won Vermont, but the doofus swept the rest of Super Tuesday. She doesn't really have a pathway forward as there aren't many more, if any, DCs or Vermonts for her.

Trump could of literally ate a baby on a live News conference and most Republicans still wouldn't of voted for her.

Trump controls the evangelical vote and that's all that matters.

I was shocked Colorado and California went hard for Trump.
Once that happened it was over.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

She has functionally set herself up as the de facto candidate if Trump ends up being unable to run for any reason, which as a 77 year old man facing numerous criminal charges, there are a few.

But more likely this run was more to set up 2028 for her.

To be fair, I wonder if Trump eating a baby on TV wouldn't help him with the republican base at this point.

I mean, he can do corruption, rape, and even treason and they love him the more depraved and criminal his actions.

No way she is coming back from an ass whopping this hard, especially not when she wasn't even second prior to everyone else having the foresight to dropout.

She might be hoping that if Trump loses again Republican voters will realize they can't run Trump or another MAGA candidate again and they'll be ready to pick her in 2028.

But my guess is they'll just run Trump or another MAGA candidate again.

This is likely the reason. After SCOTUS took up the immunity appeal and struck down the state bans, Haley's hopes of criminal trials stopping Trump were gone.

There are enough Republican voters that have vocally stated they won't vote for a woman to be President.

They also think she is a fake Christian.

Evangelicals are the most disgusting voting bloc in America. Trump is the polar opposite of what they supposedly believe, but don't give a shit.

Evangelicals have long since proven that they don't actually care about what the Bible says or who Jesus actually was. All they care about is power and enforcing their own twisted views of "morality" upon everyone else, and will use whatever means necessary to achieve that.

I remember some article where a priest said a practioner told him that woke stuff doesn't fly anymore referring specifically to that sermon. It's pretty hilarious how the religion is just an excuse for their politics.

That said, yeah. I certainly have my opinion on Republicans as a whole, but I understand why Biden is being pragmatic here. In the end we need to be focused on taking down Trump.

She took a lot more votes away from Trump than I thought she would, but unfortunately, we didnt get to see how she would perform against Trump in the states that can actually flip. Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Arizona have yet to hold their primaries.

Colour me not surprised. This entire presidency campaign was Biden vs Trump. No other candidate ever stood a chance of being elected. That's what pisses me off about American/Canadian elections. Doesn't matter if the candidate is good or bad, its always 2-3 parties and its always the ones with the most campaign dollars. You could have a really good outer party and if they don't have a half billion dollars to throw towards a campaign, they will be cut off 6 months before the real election begins.

Because unfortunately, there was no way the GOP base was going to vote for her over their god-emperor Trump. I'm more surprised that she lasted as long as she did.

But she would have been just as bad for society as Trump is had she been elected.
