NV Republicans Prefer ‘None Of The Above’ To Nikki Haley
India-West News Desk
RENO, NV – GOP presidential Nikki Haley lost the Nevada primary on February 6. With Donald Trump not on the ballot, voters picked the “none of the above” option.
While Nevada’s primary is not considered consequential, the symbolism would have been a boost to Haley if she had won.
Campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas told the media that it was all “rigged.”
“Even Donald Trump knows that when you play penny slots the house wins,” she said in a statement to NPR. “We didn’t bother to play a game rigged for Trump. We’re full steam ahead in South Carolina and beyond.”
Haley’s campaign spent zero dollars advertising in the state of Nevada. She instead has turned her focus after New Hampshire to her home state of South Carolina, where voters will take to the polls at the end of the month, the media outlet reported.
The Nevada Republican Party hands delegates to winners of the caucus which will be held on February 8.

This is not only a setback, but an embarrassment for any candidate.

If Haley were to be the nominee then for practical purposes it will be a contest between North India and South India (Haley and Kamala); Kamala’s ancestors hail from Southern India and Haley from the Punjab area.

I was unsurprised by this news, Trump has a strong hold on the Republican Party and has been even controlling the actions of the Republican controlled House, even though he is only a former US president, albeit with an excellent chance to win the Republican nomination and arguably, God forbid, even the presidency in the general election of 2024. I suspect Haley is still in the race just in case the 14th Amendment disallows Trump to run for the president because of his involvement in the January 6 insurrection of 2021. The US Supreme Court will decide the issue soon, most likely before the Super Tuesday election to be held on March 5, 2024 when Colorado and 14 other states will vote. The Supreme Court of Colorado had already decided that Trump could not be on the ballot because of his involvement with the insurrection but the US Supreme Court will have the last word.

True. NH is positioning herself if 45th cannot run. SCOTUS is now hearing the case and most likely, ruling from Colorado and other states barring 45th will be ruled unconstitutional since only congress has the power to do so; The question is what happens to the civil trial in NY, GA and those are important.

Let us see if NH wins the poker.

Trump has such a hold on the party, the chairman of the Republican National Committee Ronna McDaniel is resigning by the end of this month and she’s going to be replaced by Whatley. RamsSwamiy was instrumental in the departure of McDaniel when he exposed her in the debates calling for her resignation. Nikki Haley will remain EX-this and EX -that and go to oblivion just like another North Indian EX- Gov. of Louisiana Bobby (Piyush)Jindal, also a converted Christian. May be Nikki and Bobby can start a missionary for Lost to “None Of The Abive”.
