    Haley isn’t going to win but voting for her in the primaries will help fracture the republican party further.

      If she wins the primaries, there’s no way Trump won’t run as an independent.

        And that will split GOP votes.

          Do you think she likes him enough to do that?

              Fair, but I don’t think it would be wise to place trump in a position where your death would make him president.

                Excellent point, perhaps put him on charge of the justice department then…

                  As though that would be a discernible change from right now.

      Or it won’t. It will look like they are more popular and bolster the outlook for the party.

        You’re crazy if you don’t think this splits the vote.
