    If Haley wins the ® nomination, then I predict that Joe Biden will disclose some unfortunate health issue that “just popped up recently”, and will force him out of the race. And then the Democrats will end up nominating… um… shoot, what was her name again?

      Trump will run third party so maybe not. Trump has to go all in to be President to pardon himself for all his felonies.

      If Trump doesn’t win the Republican nomination, the Republicans lose. Trump will never accept losing the primary and will run as an independent. Once he peels off all the fascists and epsilon minus semi-morons, there aren’t enough “sane Republicans” left to do anything other than come in third.

      I’m cautiously optimistic that after killing so much of his base with covid and pissing off suburban women, even united, the fascists, semi-morons and toadies don’t have enough to win unless their voter suppression efforts are wildly successful (which they might be).
