As a Trump supporter myself, I don’t want to say it. But the truth is the truth and though I’m certain to catch flak for asking the question and offering an unfortunate answer, it needs to be said.

Former Congressman Mike Rogers is a full-blown RINO. He’s a NeoCon. He’s part of the Romney/Cheney wing of the Republican Establishment. And perhaps most importantly, he’s a self-avowed NeverTrumper.

As Senator Rand Paul noted on Twitter, Donald Trump’s endorsement of Rogers for U.S. Senator in the Michigan race is like endorsing John Bolton.

Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle.

@MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump.

You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice?

Who’s next, John Bolton?

The question is, “Why?” The answer is, sadly, pretty obvious.

Trump the Deal Maker

As much as most Trump supporters want to believe that their preferred candidate is above the petty political fray and that backroom deals with the UniParty Swamp are below him, neither are true. He’s not above the fray. In fact, he generally thrives within the fray and he’s not going to let the RINO v America First Patriot war within the Republican Party slip by without his input.

When it comes to backroom deals, Trump is among the best at getting the upper hand. Unfortunately, that means that he’s willing to do things his base doesn’t like if it means achieving a goal. Right now, the goal is to be President of the United States and he (or at least his team) believes engaging with the UniParty Swamp is the best way to achieve this goal.

I’d argue that the strategy is wrong, but I’m biased. I don’t want any dealings with the UniParty Swamp. I have that luxury since I’m sitting behind a keyboard instead of running for office. Trump does not have that luxury.

But Mike Rogers? Really? This guy makes Dick Cheney seem mild in his warmongering and Deep State shenanigans. As Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse noted:

Mike Rogers together with Democrat Rep Dutch Ruppersberger, were infamous for generating the report that defended the CIA and Deep State during the Benghazi aftermath and protecting Hillary Clinton {GO DEEP}.  👀 CTH took apart the report that was created by Rogers and Ruppersberger without the other members of the intelligence committee participating.

Annoyingly, Rogers has a long history of helping to assist and create the national security “surveillance state.”  SEE HERE and SEE HERE and SEE HERE.  Perhaps he has changed in the decade since he was one of the primary advocates for the Deep State and the creation of the 4th branch of government; however, I doubt it.

I also doubt that President Trump was advised about the nature of Mike Rogers and his ideological outlook toward supporting the National Security state.  Rogers has a life-long history of supporting the very institutional actors who targeted President Trump, so it’s a little hard to see him supporting President Trump in the second term.

The 2014 Rogers/Ruppersberger Report was specifically designed, by wording, to provide political cover to both parties – Republicans and Democrats within the Gang of Eight particularly included and protected.

Endorsements are almost entirely worthless. Trump’s are by far the most important any candidate can receive, which is why it’s discouraging that on multiple occasions over the past eight years he’s made some pretty ugly ones. Katie Britt? Dr. Mehmet Oz? Mitt Romney?!?!?!?!

But there’s an asterisk that needs to be added here. Of the GOP candidates vying for the nomination, the three top candidates are ALL NeverTrumpers. Justin Amash is a Libertarian at heart who hates Trump. Peter Meijer voted to impeach Trump. James Craig was the best candidate but dropped out even when he was polling strong because he ran out of money. Rogers is arguably the least of the NeverTrump evils who have a chance of winning.

So there’s that. But the circumstances don’t take away the sting of knowing that Trump is endorsing someone based on the prodding of the Mitch McConnell clan in the Senate. I’d rather Trump had endorsed an America First candidate who would lose instead of a RINO who is likely going to win.

Haley Set to Drop Out https://americanconservativemovement.com/haley-set-to-drop-out/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/haley-set-to-drop-out/#comments Wed, 06 Mar 2024 11:50:32 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201664 Multiple news outlets are claiming Nikki Haley is set to drop out of the presidential race. Finally.

After humiliating herself by losing badly in her own home state, she decided to stay in the race until at least Super Tuesday. But in the days leading up to March 5, her tone shifted and it seemed like she would continue if she had a respectable showing. Some assumed that since she won Vermont in an open primary that included a large backing by Democrat voters who fear Donald Trump, that she might keep it going.

Apparently, she will not. Now, Trump can focus on the general election against Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats put forth to replace their dementia-ridden candidate.

Did Trump have the inside scoop that Haley was dropping out? It’s conspicuous that he didn’t mention her one time during his Super Tuesday speech. Is his campaign talking to her campaign about an endorsement? It doesn’t really matter. Endorsements from failed candidates are about as effective as Biden’s border policy.

Conservative commentator Wayne Dupree called it…

Here’s the news story generated from corporate media reports:

Thirteen months after launching her 2024 Republican presidential campaign in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, Nikki Haley is ending her White House bid, according to sources confirmed to Fox News Digital.

The former two-term South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador under former President Donald Trump faced an uphill battle in a crowded Republican field. Despite her well-regarded performances in debates and a surge in the polls, Haley ultimately found herself in a two-candidate race against Trump.

After Trump’s victories in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Haley remained defiant and refused to drop out of the race. She continued to campaign relentlessly in her home state of South Carolina, where she faced strong support for Trump from state officials.

Haley turned up the volume in her verbal attacks on Trump, questioning his mental and physical durability, and arguing for a new generation to steer the country. Despite her efforts, Trump topped Haley by 20 points in South Carolina and went on to win big in Michigan’s Republican presidential primary.

Haley pressed on, campaigning across the country in the 15 states that held Super Tuesday GOP nominating contests on March 5. While Trump had momentum from victories in Michigan, Missouri, Idaho, and North Dakota, Haley made history as the first woman to win a GOP presidential primary or caucus, topping Trump by 30 points in Washington D.C.’s Republican primary.

Haley, who garnered strong support from independents and maintained a formidable fundraising operation, said she was staying in the race as an option for voters dissatisfied with a Biden-Trump rematch. However, she did not hold any public events or election night gatherings on Super Tuesday and remained silent on her plans going forward.

What to Watch for on Super Tuesday https://americanconservativemovement.com/what-to-watch-for-on-super-tuesday/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/what-to-watch-for-on-super-tuesday/#comments Tue, 05 Mar 2024 12:07:46 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201640 (Daily Signal)—Voters in 15 states are headed to the polls or to caucuses Tuesday, in what is arguably the most important day in the 2024 presidential primary season; that is, Super Tuesday.

Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia are all holding primaries. Caucuses will be held in Alaska and Utah.

Ryan Walker, Heritage Action for America executive vice president, says that when you look at the states that have already held primaries, “Nikki Haley has not garnered more than 40% of the vote.” So, Walker says he will be watching to see whether the former South Carolina governor can go beyond that threshold in states voting Tuesday. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation, of which Heritage Action for America is the grassroots arm.)

Former President Donald Trump has already clinched GOP primary and caucus victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Idaho, and Missouri. Haley won the D.C. primary over the weekend.

Trump got a boost in media coverage ahead of the Super Tuesday voting when on Monday the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in his favor and against Colorado’s efforts to remove his name from the ballot there citing the “Insurrection Clause” of the 14th Amendment. The ruling clears the way for Trump to earn more delegates on Tuesday ahead of the GOP convention in mid-July.

“A state cannot decide if a former president, or a former candidate, is allowed to be on the ballot, especially if they have not been convicted of a crime,” Walker said.

Walker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what issues are driving voters to the polls on Super Tuesday, and what the results could mean for determining who ultimately will be the GOP nominee for president.

Haley’s DC Win Only Proves Popularity With Insiders and Elitists https://americanconservativemovement.com/haleys-dc-win-only-proves-popularity-with-insiders-and-elitists/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/haleys-dc-win-only-proves-popularity-with-insiders-and-elitists/#respond Mon, 04 Mar 2024 09:50:56 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201602 (The Epoch Times)—GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has clocked her first win of the 2024 Republican primaries after winning the vote in the Washington District of Columbia. The Trump campaign responded by saying the win only went to show Ms. Haley’s platform is popular with D.C. insiders and not regular Americans.

Ms. Haley won the district primary in D.C., taking 62.8 percent of the vote to Trump’s 33.3 percent, giving her 19 delegates from her win. She is also now the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary in U.S. history.

In a statement to The Epoch Times, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Ms. Haley’s victory only strengthens the object of the former president’s campaign to “drain the swamp and put America first.”

“While Nikki has been soundly rejected throughout the rest of America, she was just crowned Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and D.C. insiders that want to protect the failed status quo,” Ms. Leavitt said.

“The swamp has claimed their queen. President Trump will fight for every American who is being let down by these very DC insiders and devastated by Joe Biden’s failures,” she added.

The Epoch Times has contacted Nikki Haley’s press office for comment.

Earlier, her campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas said in a statement, “It’s not surprising that Republicans closest to Washington dysfunction are rejecting Donald Trump and all his chaos.”

The District of Columbia has a record of voting “deep blue,” with a high number of voters who lean toward Democrat candidates. Around 92 percent of people who voted in the district during the 2020 election cast a ballot for current President Joe Biden.

At this stage of the race, only former President Donald Trump and Ms. Haley remain as GOP candidates after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out in acknowledgement of the clear voter support for President Trump.

After her recent win, Ms. Haley now has 43 delegates, but former president Trump is still ahead with 244 delegates. At least 1,215 delegates are required to clinch the party nomination for president and run against whoever takes out the Democratic Party nomination.

Haley Committed to Super Tuesday

Ms. Haley’s win in Washington came only one day after President Trump took all three Republican caucuses in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho. On Super Tuesday, 15 states will hold primaries simultaneously, which is expected to decide the lead GOP candidate. Around a third of all the delegates are up for grabs—more than on any other day during the election cycle.

At the moment, Ms. Haley has said she will remain in the presidential race until at least the conclusion of those contests. It’s still unclear if she will support President Trump if her own presidential bid is unsuccessful. Recently, she cast doubt on the pledge she made to the Republican National Committee (RNC) to support the eventual Republican candidate as decided by the voters.

According to Ms. Haley, she hasn’t thought about whether she will endorse the GOP presidential candidate yet because she is still in the race and can’t allow any thoughts about losing into her mind.

She also made it clear her campaign won’t shift strategies and run as a third-party “No Labels” candidate, and insisted she’s not “anti-Trump” but looking for votes from Republicans who want an alternative to the former president.

NeoCon Nikki Picks Up First Senate Endorsement: Leftist RINO Lisa Murkowski https://americanconservativemovement.com/neocon-nikki-picks-up-first-senate-endorsement-leftist-rino-lisa-murkowski/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/neocon-nikki-picks-up-first-senate-endorsement-leftist-rino-lisa-murkowski/#respond Sat, 02 Mar 2024 08:55:22 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201511 To say Nikki Haley is a presidential candidate at this point is being generous. She has failed horribly in every primary so far, including a humiliating loss in her home state. Now, the shame has gotten even worse with her first official endorsement from a United States Senator.

Lisa Murkowski, Alaska’s radical leftist pretending to be a Republican, has given Haley her not-so-coveted mark of approval. The funny part is that Haley wasn’t even Murkowski’s first choice. She had hoped to endorse Democrat Joe Manchin but he declined running.

“I’m proud to endorse Gov. Nikki Haley,” Murkowski said in a statement. “America needs someone with the right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President—and in this race, there is no one better than her. Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a President for all Americans.”

With Super Tuesday coming up, it should be the official end for the Haley campaign. It’s unlikely she could win a single state even if Donald Trump dropped out. As Daily Caller noted, Trump’s leads in the Super Tuesday states are insurmountable:

Trump is currently ahead of Haley anywhere from 41 to 77 points in major Super Tuesday states including Alabama, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, according to a Morning Consult survey released Feb. 7.

Let’s hope this is among the last articles we have to publish about Nikki Haley. If she does the right thing and drops out on Tuesday or Wednesday, she can happily fall back on a nice job in the Military Industrial Complex where she belongs.

5 Possible Reasons Why Nikki Haley Is Staying in the Race https://americanconservativemovement.com/5-possible-reasons-why-nikki-haley-is-staying-in-the-race/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/5-possible-reasons-why-nikki-haley-is-staying-in-the-race/#respond Fri, 01 Mar 2024 05:50:27 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201471 Editor’s Commentary: There is actually only one reason Nikki Haley is staying in the race. She and her handlers believe she can make a play at the convention if Donald Trump is convicted of any of the manufactured charges currently attached to him. She’s betting on lawfare winning out and the UniParty Swamp thinks she’s best positioned to take the reins if they’re successful.

There are other reasons she CAN stay in the race and those are listed below, but a variation of the fifth reason is the underlying cause. If the powers-that-be thought there was no chance they could take Trump out through lawfare or other evil means, then the rest of the reasons would be irrelevant. Nevertheless, it’s good to have an understanding of they dynamic driving her futile efforts.


(The Epoch Times)—Despite suffering a humiliating loss in her home state of South Carolina on Feb. 24 and another in Michigan on Feb. 27, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley has vowed to fight on.

Ms. Haley’s campaign said she would stay in the race at least through March 5, Super Tuesday—the biggest primary day comprising 15 states and American Samoa.

Nonetheless, in an interview with The Epoch Times, experts share why Ms. Haley may be staying in the race.

1. Give Voters an Alternative to Biden, Trump

Ms. Haley has repeatedly said that she wants to give the American people a choice that is not President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump, as desired by a significant proportion of Republicans.

“We can’t afford four more years of Biden’s failures or Trump’s lack of focus,” said Ms. Haley, citing issues such as the national debt, economy, education, wars abroad, and the border and fentanyl crisis. She also remarked that the two are divisive.

After all, “it may be that Haley simply wants to hammer home the point that many GOP voters are still looking for an alternative,” David Redlawsk, a political science and international affairs professor at the University of Delaware, told The Epoch Times.

“She wants to give Republican voters in all remaining states a choice, not just voters in the first few states,” said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida.

“This is the ‘democracy’ argument—that elections without choices are undemocratic and the people that don’t get to vote until March or April or May are just as deserving of having choices as those in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada,” he added.

In the last three primary contests, Ms. Haley racked up between 26 percent to 40 percent of the votes President Trump would need to win the general election. But in the two contests where Ms. Haley won around 40 percent, a sizable portion of them have been Democrats and independents, as New Hampshire was a semi-open primary and South Carolina was an open primary.

Additionally, polling shows that a majority of voters do not want a Biden-Trump rematch. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, 67 percent of those surveyed are “tired of seeing the same candidates in presidential elections and want someone new.”

2. She Has the Campaign Funding

Ms. Haley has the funding to sustain a campaign. It even raised more than $1 million in the 24 hours after the double-digit defeat in South Carolina, according to the campaign.

Ms. Haley, an accountant, has run a fiscally disciplined campaign, unlike former Gov. Ron DeSantis, who burned through cash. She held fundraisers over the past several weeks, garnering millions of dollars.

After all, continuing in a race depends on having the money and resources to do so, said Mr. Jewett.

Moreover, “she’s on the ballot where she’s going to be on the ballot,” GOP strategist Matt Dole told The Epoch Times.

“She doesn’t need to spend any money if she doesn’t want to spend it,” he added.

However, the funding has not been all positive.

First, President Trump’s campaign has significantly more cash than Ms. Haley’s.

Second, the Koch Network aligned-Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Action announced on Feb. 25 that it would cut off its funding for Ms. Haley’s campaign, which the largest conservative grassroots organization in the United States endorsed in November.

After Ms. Haley’s loss in South Carolina, AFP Action decided to “take stock” of the circumstances and concluded that no “outside group can make a material difference to widen her path to victory.”

“Losing AFP Action’s support certainly makes it harder to get her message out for Super Tuesday in any case,” said Mr. Redlawsk.

“The AFP’s decision to turn off the spigot of funding for Nikki Haley will, as it turns out, have the same effect as turning that spigot on: Nikki Haley at home after the convention deciding what’s next for a wounded political brand,” said Mr. Dole.

In a statement, Ms. Haley’s campaign expressed appreciation for AFP Action’s support and called the group an “ally in the fight for freedom and conservative government.”

3. Position Herself for 2028

As Ms. Haley’s path to the GOP nod this year has all but closed, there is the possibility of her running for the White House in 2028. If President Biden or President Trump won in November, both would be ineligible for reelection. In 2028, President Biden will be 86 years old, while President Trump will be 81.

If Ms. Haley were to run in four years, she would have millions of dollars ready to hit the ground running. In addition to her own campaign funds, Ms. Haley has two super political action committees or super PACs—Stand for America PAC and SFA Fund Inc.—both of which will likely fundraise even after she drops out of the campaign—an inevitable move. Ms. Haley’s PACs fundraised even before she entered the race in February 2023.

Granted, what the GOP will look like in 2028 will be determined as four years is a lifetime in politics. And the Trump wing of the party may not dictate the direction of the party, said Mr. Jewett.

“Perhaps she also thinks this has the potential to position her in some way for 2028,” said Mr. Redlawsk.

4. Establish Herself as the Leader of the Anti-Trump GOP

Ms. Haley appeared to establish herself as the leader of the GOP wing of the Republican Party that does not support President Trump—a significant plurality whom the former president will mathematically need to win in November.

“Nearly every day, Trump drives people away,” she said in her speech after her defeat in South Carolina.

But “along with the departure of Ronna McDaniel as head of the RNC, the GOP remains solidly the party of Trump,” Daniel Cronrath, a professor in the government department at Florida State University at Jacksonville, told The Epoch Times.

Nonetheless, said Mr. Cronrath, “Most of Haley’s support is coming from so-called Never Trump Republicans and independents“ as ”Haley may be positioning herself as the future leader of a post-Trump GOP assuming Trump’s form of populism erodes, and there is a reset.”

However, Ms. Haley possibly “thinks this has the potential to position her in some way for 2028,” said Mr. Redlawsk.
Moreover, Mr. Redlawsk added: “By 2028, it will likely be a different environment, and she may be showing that she has some strength even with Trump around.

“In some ways, I agree it doesn’t seem like a great strategy, but at a minimum, she may be building credibility with the non-Trump wing of the party, which may be a significant factor in 2028, especially if Trump loses in 2024.”

Furthermore, said Mr. Jewett, “She wants to represent the anti-Trump wing of the party.”

Mr. Jewett went on to note that “according to polls, there is a block of Republicans who have indicated that they do not like Trump, and so her candidacy may represent their views and fight back against the idea that the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s campaign are one in the same entity.”

Indeed, he added: “She is playing the long game and positioning herself for a future run in 2028 after Trump is off the political stage.

“She might feel that staying in the race will make her the frontrunner next time around. She is gambling that staying in the race will not permanently alienate the current Trump base that makes up the majority of voters.”

In the meantime, “the media is covering her more and in a more friendly way as an anti-Trump candidate than they were before Iowa,” said Mr. Dole.

5. Wait Out Trump’s Legal Battles

President Trump has been indicted in Manhattan, Georgia, and two federal cases, totaling 91 charges. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

However, President Trump could secure the 1,215 delegates needed to be the GOP nominee by the end of Super Tuesday and, therefore, before the trials begin, according to an analysis by The Epoch Times.

But were President Trump to fall short of the magic number and be convicted, it could change the dynamics of the race. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, 55 percent of Republicans would not support the former president if he is found guilty. Even congressional Republicans reportedly said they could not or might not support him were he to be convicted.

Nonetheless, in the event Republicans abandon President Trump in response to a conviction, Ms. Haley could be in a prime position to be the nominee, given the funding she has and the campaign infrastructure in place. While those who suspended their campaign could jump back in, it would likely take time to get their bands back together and campaign in the remaining primary states.

“If Trump were to experience a drop in support given his potential legal woes, the GOP could have a contested convention where Haley and others battle for the nomination,” said Mr. Cronrath. “The 1976 Republican National Convention was the last election in which either party did not have their candidates selected prior to the convention.”

It’s Over, Nikki: Trump Dominates in Last Remaining “Rival’s” Home State https://americanconservativemovement.com/its-over-nikki-trump-dominates-in-last-remaining-rivals-home-state/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/its-over-nikki-trump-dominates-in-last-remaining-rivals-home-state/#comments Sun, 25 Feb 2024 00:20:59 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201328 The only commentators and political analysts who doubted Donald Trump would dominate the South Carolina GOP primary were NeverTrumpers and insane people. Often these groups are one in the same. But as the dust settles, it’s clear that the Republican nomination for president is going to Trump following former governor Nikki Haley’s embarrassing performance in her home state.

The race was called by all major news outlets within moments after the polls closing.

According to Reuters:

Donald Trump easily defeated Nikki Haley in South Carolina’s Republican contest on Saturday, Edison Research projected, extending his winning streak as he marches toward a third consecutive presidential nomination and a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

The former president had been widely favored to win, with poll after poll showing him holding a sizable lead despite his litany of criminal charges and Haley’s status as a native of South Carolina who won two terms as governor.

The lopsided outcome will bolster calls from Trump’s allies for Haley, Trump’s last remaining challenger, to drop out of the race. Trump has dominated all five contests thus far – in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, the U.S. Virgin Islands and now Haley’s home state – leaving her with virtually no path to the Republican nomination.

A defiant Haley, who served as U.N. ambassador under Trump, insisted this week that she would sustain her campaign through at least “Super Tuesday” on March 5, when Republicans in 15 states and one U.S. territory will cast ballots.

As I’ve noted before, the only reason Haley would continue at this point is if her UniParty Swamp handlers have insider information that leads them to believe one or more of Trump’s criminal cases will be rigged against him. Otherwise, every form of lawfare being waged against him has failed to keep him from returning to the White House even as they try to drain his bank accounts.

It’s time for Haley to either drop out or acknowledge she’s working against America’s best interests.

This is breaking and will be updated with more details.

If Nikki Haley Stays in After Losing South Carolina, We Should Be Concerned About Why https://americanconservativemovement.com/if-nikki-haley-stays-in-after-losing-south-carolina-we-should-be-concerned-about-why/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/if-nikki-haley-stays-in-after-losing-south-carolina-we-should-be-concerned-about-why/#respond Fri, 23 Feb 2024 11:07:23 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201259 On Saturday, Nikki Haley will suffer a humiliating defeat in her own home state. She was once popular enough in South Carolina to draw a prominent Ambassadorship to the United Nations in the beginning of the first Trump administration despite endorsing Ted Cruz in the GOP primary.

She’s just not as popular anymore. In fact, analysts and commentators aren’t even debating whether she can win but rather how badly she’ll lose. The GOP primary is over. It was over before the Iowa caucus.

But she has vowed to stay in. Granted, everyone vows to stay in presidential primaries longer than they actually intend to because declaring that they’ll consider dropping out means they’re definitely dropping out. But with no illusions that she can actually defeat Donald Trump in any state, the money keeps coming in. Why is that? What do “they” know that we apparently don’t?

There has been speculation that she and her UniParty Swamp backers have reasons to believe Trump will not be able to accept the nomination. Whether through lawfare or even more nefarious means, the Swamp is using every possible ploy to prevent him from taking on Joe Biden or whoever else they decide to run. If they are confident that they can pull it off, then Haley seems to be their replacement candidate.

At this point, public information does not lend to the idea that Trump is going to be lawfared out of contention. The criminal cases against him are moving slowly. Manhattan Attorney General Alvin Bragg is being pressured to focus on putting away criminals instead of obsessing over Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith is losing more than he’s winning in the early rounds of his cases against Trump. Efforts to remove Trump from ballots continue stalling.

Do the powers-that-be know something? Are one or more of the longshot cases against Trump rigged to jail him? Do they finally have a scandal to unleash that can stick? Are they planning on blackmailing Trump somehow? Or, God forbid, do they intend to take him out in other ways?

In the primary race itself, South Carolina will be a bellwether for Trump’s surging support from Black voters. It SHOULD mark the end of Haley’s uneventful campaign. But if it doesn’t then we must assume there’s something ugly driving her otherwise hopeless actions. Even John Kasich was able to win his home state in 2016. If Haley doesn’t read the writing on the wall, then we’ll know she’s being shown a different, secret picture.

What do you think? Will Haley stay in? Leave your thoughts on The Liberty Daily Substack.

Donald Trump Wasn’t on Nevada Ballot But NeoCon Nikki Haley STILL Loses to “None of These Candidates” https://americanconservativemovement.com/donald-trump-wasnt-on-nevada-ballot-but-neocon-nikki-haley-still-loses-to-none-of-these-candidates/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/donald-trump-wasnt-on-nevada-ballot-but-neocon-nikki-haley-still-loses-to-none-of-these-candidates/#comments Wed, 07 Feb 2024 05:59:22 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201003 Why is Nikki Haley still in the Republican primary race? She couldn’t even win a state that didn’t have Donald Trump on the ballot on Tuesday.

Haley’s humiliating loss to “None of These Candidates” would make a normal person see the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, Haley is not a normal person. Her continued push has prompted more theories that she’s just a UniParty Swamp shill whose sole mission is to harm Trump ahead of the general election.

Here’s the visual of her shame:

The race, which was essentially pointless as no delegates were at stake, marks the latest in a string of failures for Haley. According to Fox News:

As the vote count continued, the former president took to his Truth Social network to take aim at Haley.

“A bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to “None of These Candidates.” Watch, she’ll soon claim Victory!” he argued.

And Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita pointed towards Haley’s home state, which holds the next major contest in the GOP nominating calendar on Feb. 24.

South Carolina should be the last loss for Haley. If she continues after failing in her own home state, then she’s just a plant being promised something big for being a thorn in Donald Trump’s side.

Trump: Haley Donors Will Be Permanently Barred From MAGA Camp https://americanconservativemovement.com/trump-haley-donors-will-be-permanently-barred-from-maga-camp/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/trump-haley-donors-will-be-permanently-barred-from-maga-camp/#comments Mon, 29 Jan 2024 02:40:27 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200784 (Natural News)—Former President Donald Trump has warned that individuals who have contributed money to the campaign of his rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, will be “permanently barred from the Make America Great Again (MAGA) camp.”

Trump issued this warning in a Jan. 25 post on Truth Social, where he shined a light on donors jumping ship from a losing candidate to a winning one. “When I ran for office and won, I noticed that the losing candidate’s ‘donors’ would immediately come to me and want to ‘help out.’ This is standard in politics, but no longer with me,” he wrote.

The real estate mogul warned that anybody who contributes to Haley, “from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them and we will not accept them, because we Put America First and always will.”

According to The Hill, Trump’s direct threat against Haley’s supporters signals a sharpening in his rhetoric as he seeks to compel support from the entire Republican Party. The former president beat Haley, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under him, by 11 points during the Jan. 23 New Hampshire primary.

Trump took a swipe at Haley during his victory speech on the same day as the primary, telling his supporters: “Let’s not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night. She had a very bad night.” But later, the former president remarked that he could not let Haley “get away with b******t.”

In recent weeks, Trump has managed to secure numerous high-profile endorsements – even from some lawmakers who had once criticized him as unfit for office. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer – all from the GOP – expressed support for him.

Even Trump’s erstwhile rivals for the GOP’s presidential nomination are backing him up. These include South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who both withdrew after the Iowa caucuses, also threw their support behind Trump.

Trump: Haley’s campaign backed by Democratic DARK MONEY

Days before the primary in the Granite State, Trump blasted Haley in a Jan. 20 speech. He pointed to her top campaign staffer’s links to a dark money group known for donating to Democratic causes. The former president cited a report by the Washington Examiner about this development.

Trump asked the crowd: “Haley’s state director in New Hampshire, listen carefully – Tyler Clark. Did anyone ever hear of him?”

“He was a lobbyist for the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is managed by Arabella Advisors – the largest Democrat dark money network in the country, and considered Public Enemy No. 1. That’s who’s managing her campaign. Does that tell you something, perhaps?” (Related: Matrixxx Grooove: Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign is backed by Democratic DARK MONEY – Brighteon.TV.)

The DeSantis War Room account on X also posted about the revelation. It wrote: “Haley’s campaign is not only funded by Democrats, it’s run by Democrats too. [Her] New Hampshire director lobbied for dark money giant that helped [President Joe Biden] win [the rigged] 2020 election.”
