Nikki isn’t going to help any. Nikki made that clear. Nikki wants the good of the conservative movement and Nikki will not be the reason for the Republican Party’s defeat in November, but Trump is not her problem. If Trump has to do well, he'll have to figure out how? Nikki Haley will not endorse Trump even if the whole Republican shebang does it with enthusiasm.

This, after Super Tuesday established Trump’s dominance in the party. Strange thing is, Donald Trump isn’t sweating, but other people are. Nikki Haley and President Joe Biden are worried sick Nikki's voters will not vote for Trump in the general election. The “Republicans in name only”, the ones they call ‘RINO’, are also not sure Trump stands a chance and prominent media dashboards, like the Washington Post and NYT, believe "Trump can't win".

There are other media like ‘The Hill’ and New York Times. There is also the CNN, and the MSNBC, dripping concern for Trump’s general election showing. These concerned quarters are picking up exit polls results to highlight Trump campaign weaknesses. The general beef is Haley supporters are waiting to dump Trump. This despite Haley voters in states such as New Hampshire, Virginia and North Carolina saying they find the idea of voting Trump in November “appealing”.

The 'RINO' and Haley haven’t changed outlook. Instead, they assert that Trump will “struggle to unify Republicans” and that Trump will not be able to “defeat Biden in the Electoral College”. Important thing is, Nikki Haley is now a weapon in the hands of "No Trumpers", which includes Democrats and so-called "moderate Republicans" who had no intention to endorse Donald Trump, ever.

Haley suspended her run for presidency but said Donald Trump will have to “earn the votes” of those who did not support him. Haley’s hubris says she isn’t fading into the sunset. Haley’s "voice" will continue to resonate with those who plan to be at the Republican convention where Donald Trump will be declared the Republican Party’s official presidential candidate.

So there's no Trump olive branch and the Trump accusation is Haley didn’t have groundswell Republican support; that loads of Democrats switched parties “for the duration of the primaries” to vote for Haley. Also that Nikki Haley is the “establishment candidate” for whom her dollar donors made sure she remained rolling in cash. The entire Haley-Biden-Dollar Donors cabal is now warning Trump that it’ll be uphill from here on and that, at the end of the road, the Biden campaign will rip Trump’s to tatters.

Fact is, so long it lasted, Haley’s support looked uncannily Democrat-driven. It is entirely possible that Trump will not extend an outreach to Nikki Haley supporters till it is too late, by when the majority of Haley voters would have become “Trump voters” as at the end of the day, no Republican would want a second Joe Biden term.

Chances are the former President will get “swaths of moderate Republicans” to vote for him. The only doubters will be the RINO, who are everywhere, ever willing to doling out advice and making unnecessary interventions on behalf of the Republican Party. “The primaries told us that both Biden and Trump have serious vulnerabilities within their respective parties that weaken them in November,” said one RINO, a former Republican Party spokesperson, who believes "Trump will have the steeper climb".

Trump allegedly told moderate Republicans to "pound the sand" and Haley was never a serious threat. The media spread the heat that Haley was a "surer bet" to beat Biden in November and this canard was given respectability by dime a dozen "closely fought" opinion polls with Haley's best showings in New Hampshire and South Carolina, two states which found Haley wanting. The belief is independents who voted for Haley will vote Biden in November.

Another thing bothering Trump's newfound concerned friends are the exit polls full of warning signs for Trump. Different media outlets have singled out the warning signs. One pointed out that 31 percent of Virginia voters and 34 percent North Carolina voters will not vote for Trump come November. Another said that exit polls showed that Haley had widespread support among self-identified moderate voters who will not vote for Trump in November, The message being dog-whistled is Haley was the option and now there is only a flawed Trump.

Trump won a majority of women votes but Haley voters haven't departed from the viewpoint that Trump will not be fit for "President" once he is convicted on any of the 91 felony charges he is facing. There is a sneaking belief that Haley wouldn't endorse Trump not because she hates Trump's guts but because Trump might become a convicted felon any day before November 5 and then, who for the Republican presidential candidacy, if not Nikki Haley?
