"Determination, fluency and some measure of political skill have made Nikki Haley" the Republican Party's alternative to Donald Trump, writes Eliot Wilson. |
"The truth is that Trump has looked like the most likely GOP nominee since he announced his intention to run in November 2022," writes Wilson. And after today, Super Tuesday, he may become the nominee in waiting. Where does that leave Haley? "Is Haley the only person who can't see the inevitable?" Wilson asks. "Does she think there will be some miraculous change in opinion among Republican voters and they will suddenly lose their taste for former president and turn to her instead? Or is she a prisoner of some kind of personal pride?" "Bluntly, why is she still running?" Wilson has a couple of ideas. One is that Haley believes if Trump's candidacy implodes, she would become "the natural choice to avert a crisis." Another is that Haley is trying to position herself as the leading GOP candidate for the 2028 election. In a sense, we can "see this campaign as an extended preparation for the next nomination race," he writes. Haley's campaign may end today. Even if it does, she has made "herself the dominant figure of non-Trump Republicanism. That status may one day be valuable" -- if not this year, then perhaps in 2028. Read the op-ed at TheHill.com. |

If you don't think that can happen, you haven't been paying close attention to this eccentric campaign season. Such a nightmare scenario seems almost preordained at this point. |

Last week, a court in Moscow sentenced Oleg Orlov, a leading Russian rights defender, to two and a half years in prison. His crime, if you can call it that, was telling the truth about the Kremlin's abusive war in Ukraine and the staggering crackdown on all forms of dissent inside Russia. |
