Schadenfreude: Nikki Haley defeated by 'none of these candidates' in Nevada

"How loud do voters have to get to get her to go home? She doesn't seem to hear anything from them because she isn't listening. Now she can't even win against a none-of-the-above competitor."

Monica Showalter   "Is it time for Nikki Haley to pack up her campaign baggage and get the heck home?

"Sure looks like it. 

"Because out in Nevada, the primary results came out like this:

Nikki Haley suffered an embarrassing loss in the Republican presidential primary in Nevada on Tuesday, receiving far fewer votes than the "none of these candidates" option, according to the Associated Press.

With 86% of the votes counted, Haley received less than half (20,799, or 30.8%) of the 42,534 garnered by "none of these candidates."

It was a contest that former President Donald Trump did not compete in and which the state party tried to have canceled. Nonetheless, a combination of intense support for Trump and distaste for Haley among Republican voters in the state combined to deal her an unusual humiliation.

"That's bad. That's like being defeated by a dead guy." . . .


Nikki Haley Fumes Over Nevada Primary Loss, Says Trump 'Rigged' the Election (thefederalistpapers.org)   . . ."That’s why Haley decided to take part in the symbolic state-mandated primary on Tuesday, which Trump did not. It wouldn’t award delegates, but at least it wouldn’t be “rigged,” right?

"Well, then she lost to … absolutely nobody. So it became “rigged.' ” . . .
