Win Or Lose

It can't be much fun to lose the vote to "None Of The Above".

So why is Nikki Haley willing to subject herself to all this?

She might be the most interesting aspect of this election cycle. 
  • Why is she sticking with it?
  • What's her strategy here?
  • Is the point just to be a thorn in Trump's side?
  • Is she really running for 2028?
  • Are we seeing a kind of secret revolt of the GOP Normies?


Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing defeat in Nevada’s Republican primary.

What happened?
She lost to an option to vote for “none” of the candidates listed. Trump skipped yesterday’s non-binding contest for tomorrow’s caucuses. (See full results here)

In the Democratic primary:
Biden won decisively. It was another step toward renomination, despite concerns about his age and how he’d fare against Trump in November.

Maybe we need to talk about that headline: "...Haley suffered an embarrassing defeat..."

Why can't the Press Poodles step outside their hidebound habit of reporting only on the ground-level obvious, and seem never to dig a little deeper - to ask a few of the questions that occur to some rank-amateur-random-nobody-blogger with no training or expertise?
