IMO most pro-Haley support was inherently anti-Trump. That's essentially what her campaign boiled down to, and I suspect she sincerely thought he will lose. If so, she'll be well-positioned for another run, assuming two Trump losses will be seen as a death nail to his support (which might not occur, who knows, he could very well run again in delusion)
FYI - Death knell, not death nail
Weird term, but I think this is what you were referencing?
Yeah, that's what people said the last two times.
Trumpism is not leaving the party. Its going to eject people like Nikki, as it has been doing for some time.
That's a fair stance. But practically I don't know what "Trumpism" will look like if he continues to not be in office. From my perspective it's been a bit frozen in time since losing in 2020. Until the campaign ratcheted up, I didn't know what he was saying or his position on current political affairs. So time and relevancy seems to be working against him, at least his direct influence. And if he dies I think there will be a lot of in-fighting when it comes to "What Would Trump Do" and will probably morph into something new altogether
