| Haley vows to continue race despite losing to Trump in NH |
| 2024-01-24 |
| [Yahoo] Donald Trump defeated Nikki Haley on Tuesday in the New Hampshire primary, his second consecutive victory in his bid to secure his party's presidential nomination. With 17% of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for Trump. Ahead of the primary, the former president led Haley in most polls by a substantial margin. But a large turnout by independent voters helped boost the former South Carolina governor, who said Tuesday that she would remain in the race at least through the Super Tuesday primaries on March 5. "New Hampshire is first in the nation. It is not the last in the nation," Haley said in a speech to her supporters Tuesday night. "This race is far from over. There are dozens of states left to go, and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina." When it was his turn to speak, Trump spent a good portion of his speech lashing out at Haley for "taking a victory lap" despite her loss in the Granite State. "This is not your typical victory speech, but let's not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night," Trump said. |

| #14 She's no Biden; she'll have to actually show up to her lectures. At least until a board of directors slot opens. |

| #10 Will Biden's controllers repay her? You'll know they've stopped paying for this nonsense when she finally does quit. |

| #9 OK, so we in South Carolina are next. We do know Nikki and her lack of accomplishment here. She will lose and lose badly. |

| #8 From Wiki: The racial classification of Indian Americans has varied over the years and across institutions.[1] Originally, neither the courts nor the census bureau classified Indian Americans as a race because there were only negligible numbers of Indian immigrants in the United States. Early Indian Americans were often denied their civil rights, leading to close affiliations with African Americans. For most of America's early history, the government only recognized two racial classifications, white or colored. Due to immigration laws of the time, those deemed colored were often stripped of their American citizenship[clarification needed] or denied the ability to become citizens. For these reasons, various South Asians in America took the government to court to try and be considered white instead of colored.[2] After advocacy from the Indian American community, the racial category of Asian Indian was finally introduced in the 1980 U.S. census. |

| #6 ^ Her "qualifications for office" are like a lot of current day "entertainers" level of talent: a hallucination of the media class. |

| #4 70% of Haley's HN votes came from non Republican registered voters. In a clean primary she would have been severely embarrassed. |

| #2 Will Biden's controllers repay her? Maybe a $$7$$ figure Board Chair, or a Federal agency Directors position. Time will tell. |
