MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Donald Trump didn’t just want to win in New Hampshire, he wanted to beat Nikki Haley so badly that his sole rival for the Republican presidential nomination would drop out before the next competitive contest in South Carolina a month away.

The former president easily bested the former South Carolina governor on Tuesday, but his carefully crafted strategy to drive Haley out of the race fell short, denying Trump the chance, for now, to focus all his attention on Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden and the November general election.

Trump, 77, was full of fury after Haley, 52, vowed in a Tuesday night speech to fight on, just two days after the other leading Republican contender, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, ended his campaign.

    I hope he works himself up to an aneurism, and karks it in the middle of one of his hate-rally’s.

    Or maybe has a stroke and turns into a vegetable.

    Or gets hit by lightning.

        I wonder if the secret service would notice if I swapped out his podium for a giant Tesla coil….?

      Can you imagine if half his face quit working? His goons have been trained over the years to see things like that as a sign of weakness. Look at how he’s depicted on his NFT trading cards, if he had a stroke and started slurring his speech and half his face started to sag they would eat him alive right then and there.
      He deserves much worse, but that kind of fall from grace in his party would be a good start.

          They 100% wouldn’t

          Idk in what world is that guy living in. Time and time again have they proven that. It’s a cult.

        Lol nah… They’d sooner look for ways to paralyze half of their own face (it’ll have to be the right side, because that’s the side that froze on Trump, and it means blah blah blah) so they can be like their hero.

      He may already be a carrot. Maybe the dye we see is for his hair, to de-green it, as opposed to the oranger we think he uses.

      There is definitely some kind of satanic deal going on keeping him alive and lucid.

          Hey that doctor back in 201whatever said he was pretty much an expert on telling the difference between a camera and a person.

          And he had the brilliance to see the connection between bleach killing viruses on surfaces and that our lungs are basically a surface. If his followers had started snorting bleach instead of just drinking it, he would have solved the pandemic that the Democrats made up to make him look bad.

          Just wait and see how lucidly he beats Obama and his running mate Hillary and her running mate Pelosi!
