Trump is lacing into Haley as he celebrates his win in the New Hampshire primary.
Unlike his election night speech in Iowa, where he called for unity, Trump is making clear his fury that Haley is not dropping out after finishing second.
“This is not your typical victory speech, but let’s not have someone take a victory when she had a very bad night,” Trump said, complaining that Haley came in third in Iowa “and she’s still hanging around.”
“I don’t get too angry. I get even,” he told a crowd of supporters packed into a steamy hotel ballroom.
Haley didn’t win New Hampshire, but she says her 2024 campaign is full steam ahead regardless.
Appearing at her election night party Tuesday, Haley thanked New Hampshire “for the love, the kindness, the support and a great night.”
Haley congratulated Trump on his victory, saying, “He earned that, and I want to acknowledge that.”
But Haley said that the GOP race “is far from over.” She vowed to take her “scrappy” campaign onward to her home state of South Carolina, which holds its GOP primary next month.
Haley also took a swipe at Trump for appearing to confuse her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying that his avowed confidence that he would score higher than her on a competency test should mean that he “should have no problem standing on a debate stage with me.”

Apparently Trump is “celebrating” by freaking out on Truth Social. He was assured he’d win by 20-30 points. I think the fucker might stroke out sooner than later. All the more reason for Haley to stay in the race when the asshole is barely coherent and half his face is slumped over.

I’ve been selling this here …..
Trump’s support is NOT as stong as the media and polls have shown….
This IS NOT a surprise if you’ve following things CLOSELY NOT just eating media biscuits….
Great get Scott….
Trump IS SCARED shitless about LOSING AGAIN.….
Missing the boat makes him worry about jail time….
CG says
His stroking out and not waking up one morning is what gutless Vichy Republicans have been privately hoping for since early 2016.
Of course, such a thing would be terrible for Biden and Democrats.
Scott P says
Republicans are such Trump cultists now they’d nominate his corpse.
jamesb says
He, he, he….
Indeed Scott….
I’m hoping they over the political cliff WITH Trump after he loses in November…..
jamesb says
The guy IS aready whining ….
“Let’s not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night. She had a very bad night,” Trump said.
Later, he added that he couldn’t let his former United Nations ambassador “get away with bulls–t.”
“But I felt I should do this, because I find in life you can’t let people get away with bulls–t,” he said. “You can’t. And when I watched her in the fancy dress… I said what’s she doing? We won. And she did the same thing last week. “
The former president also swiped at New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), who campaigned across the state with Haley.
“This guy, he’s got to be on something. I’ve never seen anybody with energy. He’s like hopscotch,” Trump said. The mention of Sununu, who is popular among Granite Staters, drew remarkably loud boos from the pro-Trump crowd…..

It WOULD CG….

New Hampshire is by far not representative of a Republican State…This means primary means very little close or not…In South Carolina where Haley was a governor, she is going to get blown out by probably 20% or more…that’s where it will be all done…however, she could just stick around and stay in it hoping he does stroke out or hoping his legal troubles get so bad that he might so damaged…but to his supporters none of that matters…Donald Trump for all his craziness, understands mob mentality and he was dead on he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and his people would still vote for him…It is beyond comprehension…it is ethereal, but with an evil twist.
jamesb says
WOA Bdog😳‼️
‘The Donald ‘WAS supposed to BEAT Nikki Haley by 20-30% points!
Right now he’sa up by 12% over her….
THAT is NOT 20%….
‘Ya gotta be in it to win it’……
I’ll bet tomorrow U see Haley picking up more money…..
I admit he chances ARE slim to none to actaully beat Trump….
But?
Ya NEVER KNOW, Do Ya?
Scott P says
Tim Scott deserves to have his political future tanked for how he smiled and nodded at Trump’s hateful “victory speech” tonight.
I hope his beard of a fiancé takes his sorry ass to the cleaners when their “marriage” ends after his little song and dance routine is rejected at Trunp MAGA veepstakes.
Keith says
Scott’s performance was essentially a modern day Minstrel Show. He was ready to shine Trump’s shoes.
If Scott doesn’t get the VP node that girlfriend will disappear very quickly.
Jack is to be congratulated, his state is so progressive it has two gay Senators.
jamesb says
Mindy Noce has a history…..
Scott P says
That’s what Tim Scott gets for “girlfriend” shopping at the last minute.
jamesb says
Tim Scott IS taking a beat down on social media
Scott P says
For this time in history two people who held the office of President won the GOP and Democratic New Hampshire primaries.
One finished 10 pts ahead of his challenger the other won by 50 pts as a write in.
Which one is stronger going into November?
