Nikki Haley: "I'm Not Going Anywhere"
Nikki Haley, who's basically the only GOP primary candidate left apart from President Trump, seems to have the goal of losing in every single state - at least that's the takeaway one gets from her stating that no matter what the result of tomorrow's Republican primary in her home state of South Carolina will be, she'll continue to run for POTUS.
Since that statement sparks a lot of confidence, let's take a look at her previous performance as well as her current chances of actually winning SC.
Iowa:
In Iowa, Haley got precisely 21,027 votes, which is 2,464 votes less than DeSantis & 35,216 (!) votes less than President Trump got.
She won one county out of 99.
New Hampshire:
In New Hampshire, she got 140,288 votes, which is over ten percent less than the amount of votes President Trump got.
Here she also won exactly one county.
Nevada:
In Nevada, President Trump opted to participate in the caucus instead of the presidential preference primary, which resulted in Haley losing against the option "None of These Candidates" by more than a two-third majority (!).
South Carolina GOP primary poll:
Project FiveThirtyEight's current SC GOP primary poll shows Haley at about 30 %, which is just narrowly half of where President Trump stands.
Considering these results, her next loss shouldn't be surprising - let's see in how many other states she "won't go anywhere".
