Donald Trump took another step towards a general election
rematch with Joe Biden by decimating Nikki Haley in her home
state in the South Carolina Republican primary.

The result was called just seconds after polls closed in an
embarrassing night for Haley who has vowed to stay in the
race even as her path to the nomination rapidly closes.

Trump declared his swift victory at his Election Day party
held on the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia,
saying with a smirk: 'This was a little sooner than we
anticipated.'

. . .

Final counts aren't in yet - but the 14 points smells
pretty accurate.

Which, given Trump's bulldozer personality, still
ain't THAT bad for Haley.

It looks like Haley is going to hang in there, to
as much of a degree possible, until the bitter end
and maybe beyond. If she can get a sound bite or
two in the media every few days, it's to her
long-term political advantage - she will remain
"relevant".

And DO remember she's the #1 "backup candidate" if
(when?) the Dems DO manage to disqualify Trump.
