In a speech billed as a “State of the Race Address,” former South Carolina Governor Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley opened by crowing she had suckered the media – Fox News included – into carrying what they thought could’ve been a concession. “Of course, many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace Trump privately dread him. They know what a disaster he’s been and will continue to be for our party. They’re just too afraid to say it out loud. Well, I’m not afraid to say the hard truths out loud,” Haley said after spending much of the last year afraid to say those hard truths out loud.
“South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere. I’m campaigning every day until the last person votes,” she continued, before and landed a swift dickpunch with “Despite being a de facto incumbent, Donald Trump lost 49 percent of the vote in Iowa. In New Hampshire, Trump lost 46 percent of the vote. That’s not good … what does it say about an incumbent who’s losing nearly half of his party? It spells disaster in November.”
