Nikki Haley just jumped the Trump shark

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Nikki Haley just endorsed Trump. Fine. Good. Republicans who hate Trump (and there are many) aren’t suddenly going to vote for him just because Haley says so. And she’s damaging her future prospects by tying herself to his fate. All Republican ships are sinking ships these days.

It’s also the latest reminder that Nikki Haley has a political IQ of zero. The media (on both sides) has been propping her up for a decade, insisting she’s the super savvy next big thing. But every time she makes a strategic political decision, it’s as dumb as can possibly be.
