  1. If Christie says, “she’s not my choice but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, I guess”, endorses and drops out, she might pull off an upset and then we have a potential interesting few months. Otherwise, it’s a very trumpy 2024.

  2. As much as she’s a monster, she’s at least a more predictable and rational kind of monster. I’ll take malicious, malignant, but rational and coherent over malicious, malignant, irrational, incoherent and blatantly treasonous.

  3. I wonder what insults Trump is going to hurl at people who support Haley….can’t wait!

  4. We should be careful what we wish for since Haley seems to be the most likely to win over Biden next year. I think she could win the general election relatively easily as a younger, non-Trump, not-as-extreme alternative since she’d pull many moderates from Biden to her.

  5. The polls are clear. A majority of Republicans answer no when asked do you want to see a woman as president in your lifetime? Combine that with ethnicity And her lackluster performance at the United Nations, and she is not viable. She will be center of the bullseye for Trumps deadly monikers

  6. She’s a terrible candidate and would make a horrid president but given the lack of critical thinking skills in the country, because of her age, she’s more likely to beat Biden than trump is. Sobering.

  7. It would be a smart move for the GOP overall .. which is why it won’t happen this election cycle.

  8. How is she more likely to beat Biden? The GOP is a Trump cult. He will go scorched earth on them if he didn’t win. He’d contest having lost until his death. Any non Trump candidate winning would reduce their chances bc the GOP would tear itself apart from the inside.

  9. lol this headline is so misleading. She is within 4 points in New Hampshire. If the election were today, know what that would get her? Nothing. And NH is her best state. She won’t do better than that in most other states.

    Nikki Haley has no chance of being the GOP nominee. Journalists need a thrilling race. What they’re going to get is a runaway Trump nomination. Those voters have brain worms.

  10. Awfully coincidental with the Koch endorsements. Hmm.

  11. This is a poll about the New Hampshire primary only. She has a very small chance at getting the nomination overall.

  12. Any way you slice it, it’s a shitshow year for the republicans.

  13. Whatever. The right is autocratic crooks, vote for Biden and flip your state legislatures blue where you can.

  14. Remember when Bernie Sanders beat HRC by more than 20 points in the New Hampshire primary in 2016? How’d that end up going?

    I don’t see any path to primary victory for Haley even if she wins New Hampshire outright.

    Maybe if Trump is convicted, but the timing on that is looking pretty unlikely.

  15. If Trump were not to win the nomination, would he run 3rd party and split the Republican base? If so, that would be the best case scenario for the Dems

  16. Haley is dangerous. Less dangerous than Trump, but still dangerous.

    As long as voters keep being reminded about how the GOP is aiming to take away as many liberties as possible, I think Biden still has a good chance… Though she’s going to be more difficult than Trump in the general election.

  17. This poll is an outlier. Three other polls out in the last week show Trump with leads ranging from 14 to 30 points. The ARG poll only included 600 likely voters, which is a much smaller sample size, which a much greater margin of error, than other polls.

  18. Within a day, Trump will be accusing her of cheating.

  19. Trump’s still calling Haley “Birdbrain”.

    When he starts referring to her as “Nimarata”, then we’ll know he’s taking her seriously and trying to destroy her with the racist MAGA crowd.

  20. I do NOT love her, but it does seem like she would put country over self, Chaney too. At this point I’d be thrilled to see either as President, and republicans getting the first woman might get em bragging about something other than a stable genius who grabs pussies and throws paper towels at climate change after some attempts at treason. Re-wiring their brains back to some level of normality might actually be better than another Biden term. I’m going to seriously be thinking about that.
