South Carolina, Saturday, February 24, 2024 – Donald J. Trump crushes former SC governor Nikki Haley in her own state, marking the latest in a series of massive primary defeats. And still she perseveres.
Is she stubborn or just that stupid? Determined maybe?
My own first thought was simple greed. She reportedly raised a good deal of money for her bid. How much can she keep? Ostensibly, none of it. Of course my own devious mind brings up the question – ARE there ways around these rules? Probably. I cannot say for sure. Nor can I reasonably say what will happen to Haley’s cash – IF there is anything left. Don’t forget many political campaigns end up with the prospective candidate claiming poverty. It’s not unusual for them to leave huge debts among the political litter left behind.
It makes one wonder how so many politicians leave their calling as millionaires. Sure, some are wealthy before they enter politics, but it is not unheard of for some financially genius politicos to go home with far more money than they arrived with. While simultaneously leaving the rest of us poorer than ever. Some genius.
As for Nikki, I cannot say but really girl, take the hint. Get lost. You are spent.
