Donald Trump’s Republican rivals have been saying since 2016 that if they could only get him one on one, they’d have a chance.
But that’s not working out for Nikki Haley. And if the former U.N. ambassador’s campaign is proving anything, it’s that the real problem for Trump’s opponents isn’t really about candidate math at all
It’s a bear market for fiscal conservative, neoconservative ideology in a MAGA-centric GOP.
“She’s running as a conservative. Trump’s running as a populist,” said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist and former adviser to Marco Rubio’s 2016 and Tim Pawlenty’s 2012 presidential campaigns. “Haley’s challenge is that the party is increasingly a populist party.”
