Fans of Donald Trump they rub their hands. Who hoped that Nikki Haley If a miracle were to happen, he must resign himself to the inevitable: the tycoon will be the Republican candidate for president of the United States. The primaries held yesterday in South Carolina they do not have great weight in absolute terms (50 delegates), but symbolically they are worth enough to consider Haley’s ambitions over.
South Carolina is in fact the state where Nikki Haley was born, raised, and became governor. Furthermore, it is one of the states where the “Open Primaries” rule applies, that is, everyone can participate in the vote, even those who are not members and those not registered with the Republican Party. Those who thought that Trump’s bogeyman would lead Democrats to sneak into the Republican primaries and vote for Haley en masse (and it was an eventuality that Trump himself feared) were disappointed. The vote ended with 60% preferences for Tycoon, Haley managed to conquer the most populous counties and cities, confirming the trend already clear in previous votes. In the evening, she declared that she will not give up, and she will continue to fight. Not for long.
A party bigwig like Mike Pence has recently launched a campaign to re-establish the conservative principles of the GOP, and recalled his trip to Ukraine last summer. Trump’s outbursts against NATO do not please the more traditional wing of the party. All this combined with the fact that Bret Baier, leading journalist of Fox Newsboth flew in this week Ukraine to interview Zelensky it is a clear message to Trump from the Republican establishment: if you try your isolationist policies we will not make you do it.
