Donald trump is now the Presumptive Republican nominee for president. His only opponent in this race, former governor nikki haley, had vowed to stay in the race through super tuesday. And this morning after only winning the state of vermont and the city of washington, d. C. , nikki haley dropped out. Now, if there was anything truly significant about haleys campaign, it was the degree to which it was a symbol of the dissatisfaction for donald trump. Yes, nikki haley advocated about Theal Deficit but really the whe point of the project was to offer republicans an alternative to the guy with the orange blow out.
