It’s official now–the GOP is the MAGA Party. This was Haley’s best chance, but she couldn’t get it done. Trump will be the nominee.
But I don’t expect Haley to give up, for two reasons. First, as I explained before, she has nothing to lose by continuing to irritate the base, since they will never embrace her under any circumstances. Second, there is a theoretical possibility that the Supreme Court could find that Trump is disqualified to hold office as an insurrectionist. What do the Republicans do then? They need a Plan B until the Court rules, just in case.
