I hope Haley helps to wreck the GOP just as badly as Trump has.

@TheMoopah

So the longer Nikki is in the race, the less money RNC has to pay Trumps legal bills ?

@Michael-io7ll

40% against Trump is huge

@kevdaag2523

60/40 is really much better for her than anyone expected.

@peacheswilliams4539

Trump doesn't have to be CONVICTED for me to NOT vote for Trump! what planet are these people living on?

@markmierzejewski9534

Trump calls for the termination of the United States Constitution.. and the poorly educated clap for him. These people need help from themselves

@smilesandyoka

I am not 100% for Nikki - but at least she is SANE!!!!! Stay in the race Nikki!!!! I support your effort to fight the dictator in the making

@josedesilencio8851

My country has a share in voter stupidity, but the US of A?

@keikonemeth2467

I like a person who speaks in complete sentences and has a spouse who serves in the military. Her opponent is a draft-dodger whose speech underscores his disdain for reading.

@etherspin

Trump is not comparable to ANY candidate by any party in 40 years - the cult around him is substantial To get ~40 VS him is actually huge. She can build.

@user-tb2jx8qd9n

Trump says what serves him at the moment, he admits something and denies the same thing. Contradictions don't mean anything for him. I wonder how he was raised, how it was for the adults to raise him, what a child he was, how he learned and perfected his no-conscience-game.

@leannevandekew1996

He tried to buy the NFL's Buffalo Bills pro football team back about 1987. He was in the pool of 6 final bidders the NFL chose and was asked to submit financial records to show he could either buy the team or could raise funds for it with solid collateral backing, but instead he submitted a letter with a copy of a Fortune Magazine article listing him as one of the wealthier people in the United States. The NFL turned him down,

@wrenw1550

I’m glad she’s not dropping out.

@marymcdonald5531

You go, Nikki! You take it as far as you can give it to Trump don’t give up. I don’t think of a lot of things that you do but I am proud of you for what you are doing. You are standing up to Trumpy dumpy lumpy.😂

@Tiga-og2mz

She is not running to win, she running to restore her party from the chaos that it’s in !

@LA-kc7ev

I have to come to CNN to hear a positive word about Nikki Haley. I am one of that 40% (really I am an independent) who supports Nikki and am witness to way the "Trump wing" speaks as if she had no right to be in the race. Ron de Santis went down, I believe, for the same reason: "no Republican would vote for anyone but Trump". Biden will likely get my vote if she is not on the ballot. Thank you CNN for seeing a strong, effective candidate in NIkki.

@dr.davidenglish778

I never really liked Scott, but the Simpson's reference was pretty funny.

@niclewis9610

"I don't feel the need to Kiss the Ring" - Nikki Haley who is also on record saying she'd pardon Trump 🤔 confused much.

@patriciaingram803

Nikki is giving republicans an alternative. They could win if they pick the alternative.

@michaeldiogenesbest6127

Nikki's just waiting for the Orange Jesus to be imprisoned.........
