Having insisted that she will plow forward, Nikki Haley soon faces the South Carolina primary. Haley was governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017. This is her "home state," as they say, and according to FiveThirtyEight.com, she's about to get thrashed in it by that plump orange beast, Donald Trump. Polls currently show Haley losing 62-25 to Trump, and if there's anything we've learned from Iowa about intra-GOP polls, it's that they're accurate. Sure, SC has a different electorate, but considering the large margin between Trump and Haley, that stat is going to translate into real votes. Trump's victory in SC is predestined. It's going to be another yawner, and Haley will have spent her campaign millions on nothing. She really ought to drop out, but she's somehow convinced she has a chance on home turf.
Is she an idiot? No, don't answer that.
