It’s going to be Trump vs Biden, which is why I’m backing Biden with both volunteer time and a donation

Haley’s path to the nomination is Trump getting disqualified, not winning delegates.
Her path is for Trump to be ineligible, incarcerated, or interred. Every one of those outcomes is possible, if unlikely. But if that happens, she ends up being the only other Republican with any delegates at all.
“Incarcerated” wouldn’t stop Trump from being a candidate (or in fact taking office, for that matter).
It would be difficult for the Chief Justice to administer the Oath of Office if the electee is detained in a Georgia State prison…
I’m sure it can be done in a booth with a plexiglass barrier between them.
Why would that be difficult? I’m sure the prison will get used to letting in all sorts of people. World leaders, various grifters of the week, ambassadors, etc. Not that it’ll ever happen, the SC will say he can pardon himself. That’s why he put them in after all.
He might also drop dead. People focus on Biden’s age, but Trump’s fat, old, and likely suffers from dementia.
I find it really hard to believe that the Supreme Court will allow that
The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over a political party’s nomination process. That said …
I don’t know why anybody is hung up on how she can’t beat Trump. She knows that. She’s staying in the race in case he gets disqualified, dies, etc. It’s pretty damn obvious.
Nimrod “FrOzEN EmBRyoS arE BABIEeEeeES” Haley will suck on orange dick in a heartbeat. She is not the savior moderate republicans are hoping for.
She already said she’d pardon him.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
If there had been any doubt about whether the Republican presidential primary was heading toward an early conclusion, it was put to rest Saturday night by the voters of South Carolina.
In fact, Mr. Trump slightly underperformed the final polls, thanks to a vigorous turnout for Ms. Haley in Democratic-leaning metropolitan areas.
Her strength may even be attributable to voters who intend to back President Biden in the general election, as anyone could vote in the South Carolina primary, regardless of party.
It throws cold water on any notion that greater name recognition would overcome her deficit in the polls.
And it deprived her of the last, best chance to claim even a hint of momentum ahead of Super Tuesday, when nearly half of the delegates to the Republican convention will be awarded.
Oddly, it’s not the final vote count in South Carolina that explains why the race might end so quickly.
