registered republicans. do you know that trump only received a little over 56,000 votes? and iowa, iowa is lily white. it s unrepresentative of the country at large. we re a diverse nation of over 335 million, a small number of iowa voters should not determine our destiny. and besides, the iowa field was still too crowded. when nikki haley finally got him one-on-one in new hampshire, she was able to keep it close and received about 43% of the vote. and worse for trump the independents in new hampshire supported haley in huge numbers showing that trump could never win a general election, so why should haley drop out? candidates only drop out when they run out of money and nikki has the money. she s raised 2.6 million since the new hampshire primary, and the super pac backing haley raised 50.1 million in the last signature months, that s about 5 million more than the pac backing trump. and don t forget. he s four times indicted, anything can happen. after all, just yesterday a
