Trump: You can’t let people get away with bullshit. And when I watched her in the fancy dress that probably wasn’t so fancy pic.twitter.com/OFvJwbNLq2

Was it a little too close? I think it's funny that Trump had to trash, of all things, Nikki Haley's clothes. MEOW! How catty! He also threatened her a little bit, saying:
Addressing a crowded hotel ballroom in Nashua, he gave Haley a dark warning: “Just a little note to Nikki. She’s not going to win. But if she did, she would be under investigation by those people in 15 minutes, and I could tell you five reasons why already.
“Not big reasons, little stuff that she doesn’t want to talk about, that she will be under investigation within minutes, and so would Ron [DeSantis] have been, but he decided to get out.”
"By those people"--hm? And he could tell you five reasons why! Is he saying he has some dirt on his former UN Ambassador that just might get loose? The skulking little extortionist, Trump! He's clearly a bit bothered, don't you think?
For her part, she says she's staying in until Super Tuesday, which means going through a likely more depressing loss in her home state of South Carolina--but I think I can see why she's taking the gamble. Trump isn't inevitable, and he might even know it. He's showing clear signs of accelerating wear, and who will be left? He's threatening her, when like an out-of-control manbaby he can't seem to stop going on rants about E. Jean Carroll--in the midst of his defamation trial? The man is a demented liar!
The trick is--after depicting him as demented liar (which was, let's be honest, always a fair description of Trump), coming back around to endorse him in the event he keeps winning without a major blow-up will be...fraught.
In other news, President Biden won NH via write-in vote and didn't campaign there at all, at all.

Who will be left? Romney/Cheney ...
Romney/Cheney could be fun with a strong Democratic Senate and House.
Strong in both houses being the operative term.
Ms. Haley wouldn't have to endorse Trump; maybe she'll come up with some non-endorsement statement. Actually, though, as much as she's said already about pardoning him, etc., well. She's made that bed. Maybe she'll pull ahead and she won't have to say anything, then we'll outvote her side. sigh
DEMENTED L I A R !!1!; SAY IT L O U D!
I can not express how flabbergasted I am by Haley. I know every elected Republicans aided by Faux News a-holes claims every Democratic President or VP is Jimmy Carter 2.0, but for Haley (as not a white women) to state, "Because I don't ever want to see a President Kamala Harris. That should send a chill up everyone's spine," Haley replied.
Haley wants to let all those white boys know she's a cool girl not like that K. Harris. Reprehensible is not a strong enough descriptor.
Haley thinks she has learned the secret handshake of the Old Boys' club by trying to be just as racist and misogynistic as they are, as if she's speaking their language, and yet, what she fails to realize is that it isn't a formality: they believe it, and she isn't good enough, either. In the event that some act of Law or God cleared Trump off the scene, she'd still get a very weak showing because she couldn't get the punters going well enough.
I think a Cheney or Romney would do still worse because a significant part of the base simply views them as traitors. Independents might be persuaded, but not the base.
