YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Supporters of former Palmetto State Gov. Nikki Haley can read the polls.

They know Donald Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations is likely to lose yet again by a wide margin to her former boss in Saturday’s home state primary — but they want her to stay in the race anyway, if only to be on standby in case the 77-year-old Trump has a health issue or gets “locked up.”

Nearly every would-be Haley voter who spoke to The Post this week approved of her six-year record as South Carolina governor and hoped she can pull off an upset victory, but recognized the chances of that happening are slim to none.

“My confidence of that is zero,” Gordon Gibson, a 77-year-old Haley donor, told The Post after Haley vowed Tuesday afternoon to continue in the race regardless of Saturday’s outcome.

The 45th president “has that hardcore backing that’s a minority of the total vote,” he added. “I just don’t think there’s any way [she can win], and I hate that. Unless he gets locked up, [but] I’m not really impressed with these legal cases that have been brought against him.”
