It’s hard to imagine suffering a bigger indignity in politics than losing to literally nobody. But that’s exactly what happened with Nikki Haley, who’s somehow still campaigning and eliciting donations for her futile presidential run.
The ex-South Carolina governor failed to win the Nevada Primary Tuesday, even though Donald Trump wasn’t on the ballot. In fact, there wasn’t a single candidate on the slate besides her.
Still, Haley fell to her vaunted challenger, “None of These Candidates.” More than 47,000 Nevada Republicans voted for nobody, while 22,611 pulled the lever for Haley.
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
Making matters worse, there were no delegates on the line Tuesday. That happens tonight, when the state’s GOP caucus begins.
In other words, the vote against Haley was purely symbolic. Republicans came out for the pure reason of shutting her down.
Gillum’s career was derailed over a sex scandal in a hotel room with another man.
“None of These Candidates” is known for its dirty tricks, after all!
“It’s such a scam. They were supposed to have a primary. Trump rigged it, so the GOP chairman, who’s been indicted, would go and create a caucus,” she said in a TV interview. “We knew months ago, we weren’t going to spend a day or a dollar in Nevada, because it wasn’t worth it. We didn’t even count Nevada. We knew it was rigged from the start.”
Wow! With an inspiring message like that, it’s hard to imagine Nevada Republicans weren’t excited to support Trump’s very distant runner-up.
NEWS: @NikkiHaley responds to losing the Nevada GOP primary to "none of these candidates:"
She tells me NV's system was a "scam" that was "rigged from the start."
There were no delegates at stake so she didn't "spend a day or a dollar there."
Haley’s complaining isn’t just a loser’s lament, however. It is also wrong. The Nevada GOP did not hold onto the caucus as a way to rig the vote for Trump. The issue stems back to a 2021 disagreement in the state legislature over voting access.
Citing dwindling participation, the majority-Democratic legislature transitioned Nevada from a party-run caucus system to state-run primary, according to CBS News. But the GOP was against the transition, arguing the caucus system is more secure. As a result, the Nevada Republican Party is holding caucuses, anyway.
But sure, the primary was rigged for Trump, who again, wasn’t even on the ballot.
Whatever you say, girl!
Fortunately for Haley, she won’t be on the ballot Thursday, preventing her from losing in Nevada twice this week. The 52-year-old insists she’s in the race for the long haul, and focused on the upcoming primary in her home state, South Carolina.
“Our focus is on South Carolina, Michigan, Super Tuesday,” she said. “If you look what we did in Iowa, if you look what we did in New Hampshire, we’re continuing to grow. That’s all that matters.”
If by “continuing to grow,” Haley means “only” losing by 34,000 votes in New Hampshire, then sure! (By the way, in South Carolina, Haley is losing to Trump by more than 30 points–64.7% to 31.3%.)
It’s hard to imagine how she could explain away getting trounced in her home state. But we know she’ll try! The Republican National Committee called on Haley to drop out days ago; and yet, here she is!
We thought Haley’s campaign reached peak cringe right before the Iowa primary, when she refused to say that slavery was the cause of the Civil War.
But she keeps sinking to new lows. Haley sought out to be president, but instead, she’s turning into the Washington Generals.
This is unbelievable. Nikki Haley actually tries to defend herself by saying, “I had Black friends growing up”. (Video: CNN) pic.twitter.com/qEA0UkmB3F

A man who can’t remember when he was a vice-president and confuses French politicians who have been dead for 30 years. But hey, let’s make Biden the leader of the free world while various wars break out around us. It’s obviously the smart thing to do. After all, he has the sunglasses.
From the just released official report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents found at his home and former office and shared government secrets with his ghostwriter:
“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he “had a real difference” of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to Barack Obama.”
Not only did Biden have a “recent” conversation with former French President Mitterrand who has been dead since 1996, it’s not the first time Biden has been talking to dead people.
White House corresponded Jacqui Heinrich posted to X that Biden claimed former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was with him on his first foreign trip as US President and that the two discussed Jan 6. Not only did this not happen, it couldn’t have happened. Kohl died in 2017. Jan 6 was, of course, four years later.
From my perspective as a (recently evolved) conservative-leaning independent millennial, life isn’t much different under Joe Biden. Sure, you will tout the stock market and the carry-over COVID unemployment numbers. Houses are still out-of-reach while Whoopi Goldberg recycles warmed-over “work three jobs, you stupid kids!” Dubya-esque lines on ‘The View.’ (It’s interesting how liberals have become the new conservatives rehashed from the early aughts.) Grocery prices are still high. Fifty percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their quality of life and believe upward mobility doesn’t exist. To put it bluntly, the Biden administration has a communications problem. He can’t effectively tout his ‘accomplishments’ as his mind slowly begins to unravel. Every other week, there’s another public speech where he confuses living politicians with dead people. (Trump only had Frederick Douglass.) As Chris Christie said, “It’s a choice between two candidates that people do not want.” The younger people bemoan the fact that Joe Biden campaigned on exiting the military industrial complex. As of right now, he’s got us entrenched on multiple fronts. To the extreme left, he makes half-hearted asides on LGBTQ+ issues and abortion, but never bothers to really do anything. So basically, that leaves the CHIPS act and rural Internet. Those issues aren’t really sexy to the average voter, ZZ.
And that’s another thing. We don’t know what type of chemicals transgender chestfeeders are pumping into children. But gosh, those idiot Trump voters will eat a poop sandwich off Sixth Avenue! Sure enough.
“How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden thundered in the presser while insisting he knows when his son Beau Biden died. Later in the presser, he erroneously said Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi is the president of Mexico.
Trump put his classified documents next to the toilet. Biden put his classified documents near a potted plant and told the nation they were locked in a cabinet. I guess the Queerty libs will claim Trump’s indiscretion was worse because poop was almost involved. Let the liberal straw-grasping begin, y’all!
A few more I missed, Baron. During today’s presser, he claimed that he wants to bring back Roe vs. Ward and ‘red states and green states together.’ I’m going to love watching Whoopi Goldberg spin this tomorrow on ‘The View.’ It will be something along the lines of ‘Trump’s crazier.’ Once again, dear ZZbomb, this THIS is why most independent Americans (like me) are not falling in line with Biden’s alleged ‘accomplishments.’ We are in multiple wars right now with this doddering fool in The White House. THAT IS THE REASON, ZZ.
Instead of dogging her, Dems should be supporting her. Otherwise it’s a forgone conclusion that November will see Trump v. Biden and Trump will likely win. Go ahead and make your cheap jokes but save your tears for the next four years. A Trump with nothing to lose is a scary thing.
Trump winning is not a forgone conclusion either considering independents still largely are going for Biden which is really the deciding factor in the election.
Besides, we got a long road yet and the economy is booming, inflation is down, gas prices are down, crime is down, and now after the litany of failures by the GQP in the House and the forth coming Trump court cases, coupled with a broke RNC unable to support other candidates; no reason to lose hope.
“Former President Trump is leading President Biden with independent voters, outpacing the incumbent by 11 points, according to a new poll.
In the new Messenger/Harris poll, the former president garnered 46 percent, while Biden got 35 percent when registered voters were asked who would they vote for today if those two were the only choices.” – The Hill
I don’t understand Alex Reimer’s obvious pleasure in Haley’s loss. Is it just misogyny? I can’t see how smoother sailing for Trump fits in with Queerty’s “No Agenda but the Gay One.”
I don’t think there’s anything to understand. There’s no thought behind it. It’s a response to any Republican that many gay people feel is obligatory. Herd mentality.
There seems to be some glee taken on the part of the Queerty writers when indulging in personal humiliations. It is almost always directed to people right of center; which is their prerogative. However, even today there was an article on a silly tweet Matt Gaetz sent that pertained to a very personal and humiliating episode in the life Andrew Gillum. I think it would have been better if Queerty and Matt Gaetz had not indulged in reviving personal humiliations that remain better left in the past.
I think I’m approaching $250 in campaign contributions to Haley. Much more than I sent Sanders in 2016 or Buttigieg in 2020. I intend to keep on as long as she does.
If you live in a red state, voting for Haley is your one and only chance of casting a meaningful vote against Trump.
“”He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’),” the report said. “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.””
That’s our President. And running for re election. Scary.
Biden confuses Mexico with Egypt at the end of his angry press conference intended to demonstrate his lucidity. By all means, vote for him if you hate the USA. We surely need a man in decline to navigate safely through the increasing threat of war in Europe and the Middle East.
If he steps down, I’ll gladly consider voting for a Democrat this year. I’m still voting for Haley in the primary, though. Trump must be defeated.
Why shouldn’t she stay in the race? The Ayatollah Komplaini could die or be convicted and the Republicans will need to put up a legitimate candidate – of course, if Lyndsey Graham wants to do it, all bets are off (sarcasm). I can’t stand Haley and would never vote for her, but I couldn’t see why she would end her campaign anytime soon.
