Nikki Haley is on the rise, looking for an upset that could derail former President Trump’s path to the Republican presidential nomination.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the New Hampshire primary is her best— and perhaps only — chance.

Haley’s advance in the Granite State has been striking.

A new American Research Group (ARG) poll released Thursday put Haley within 4 points of Trump in New Hampshire — a jaw-dropping result given that Trump has a lead of about 50 points in national polls.

The ARG poll showed Trump with 33 percent support in New Hampshire and Haley at 29 percent, with the rest of the field well behind.

      Unless, of course, he’s not on the ballot in enough states. He’s already off it in Colorado. I think there’s a very good chance he will not be allowed on the ballot in Georgia, which will be a much bigger hit.

          Is that in the works? Are they really working to take him off of the ballots, or that what people wish would happen?

              I’m not so sure in California. There isn’t much but a letter from Lt. Gov. Kounalakis to California Sec. of State Weber asking her to look into all legal avenues to remove Trump while in response Gov. Newsome said that they should not remove him.

        I want to celebrate, but that’s yet to be fully adjudicated and if he’s not on the primary they have plans to do a caucus instead.

      This is the only answer.

      Convicted, not convicted, alive, dead… He is the embodiment of white Christian America.

      He has like 85% approval among devout R’s. How much traction is possible when most of them praise him and will do anything to avoid criticizing.
