Race to Milwaukee: Home State Beatdown

This is getting annoying

Former Governor Nikki Haley returned home to South Carolina for a primary. She lost. This is tiresome.

Stock Up

Trump - He keeps rolling but this silly match-up prevents the general election pivot and prevents coordination of general election fundraising.

Every Other Republican Thinking About ‘28 - At some point in the fall, one could argue that Haley was setting herself up well for ‘28. That’s over. Every other candidate has to feel better about themself watching her awful act. Even Gov. DeSantis looks like a gentleman for dropping out and immediately endorsing Trump.

Stock Down

Actual GOP Haley Donors - Have some self-respect and admit an error. Whatever NeverTrump feeling needed to be placated is satisfied. Haley was a bad avatar for this and just makes the entire enterprise look desperate.

CPAC Organizers - They have always had more fringe attendees but maybe the team could use a bit better of a filter and to also not let in SPLC types. Why have it the same weekend as a primary?
