Haley Has No Home Advantage
Former President Donald Trump crushed Nikki Haley in Saturday’s South Carolina primary. While South Carolina is Haley’s home state and she is a former governor, she could only manage to carry three of the state’s 46 counties. Her best performances came in the tourism belt of Charleston County and in Richland County, home of the state capital of Columbia.
Still, with about 75 percent of the vote counted, Trump led 357,692 votes versus 233,023 for Haley. That gave Trump more than 60 percent of the votes, and Haley around 39 percent.
Haley hasn’t won a single state yet, not even New Hampshire, where deadbeat Democrats swamped the polls, seeking to embarrass Trump. Rich-heeled Democratic leftists might still donate money to Haley, but she’s clearly alienating Republicans now. Most are calling for her to butt out, so Trump can prepare to whip Joe Biden, or whichever drone the Democrats throw at the voters. Here’s Trump’s victory speech Saturday night on Fox News.
