Sen. Lisa Murkowski Endorses Nikki Haley
[Breitbart] Alaskan Snowblower shows RINO/Never Trump.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK),
…it seems she had not gone off in the woods and been killed by a bear — how odd!
one of the most moderate Republicans in the United Sates Senate, is endorsing former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) for president, as Haley continues with her quixotic campaign against former President Donald Trump.

Murkowski’s endorsement came in a press release on Friday from Haley’s team, in which the senator announced, “I’m proud to endorse Gov. Nikki Haley.”

“America needs someone with the right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President—and in this race, there is no one better than her,” Murkowski added. “Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a President for all Americans.”

Haley thanked Murkowski – who voted for Trump’s impeachment in 2021 – for her support. This marks Haley’s first endorsement from a United States senator, while Trump closes in on two dozen, as FiveThirtyEight notes.

“I’m grateful to Sen. Murkowski for her support and leadership,” Haley said. “Sen. Murkowski represents the best of Alaska—she is a trailblazer and a strong, independent voice who doesn’t bow down to the powers that be in Washington.”

“As president, I will fight to make Alaskans—and all Americans—proud by restoring fiscal sanity, energy dominance, and limited government,” she added.

The establishment endorsement for Haley comes as Trump is obliterating her in the delegate count, with a 110-20 lead out of 142 delegates that have been allocated to this point, as the New York Times notes.

Haley only has 11 more delegates than Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump after the Iowa Caucuses. This is despite her participating in several more contests – in which delegates were at stake for her – than he did.

Most recently, Trump thumped Haley in the Michigan primary, winning by some 40 points. That followed an embarrassing loss for Haley in her home state of South Carolina, where Trump enjoyed a 20-point victory in the primary.

#2 Nikki is waiting for Trump to be removed. Then she's last one standing.

#3 They rigged the election with swapping out the old traditional system with a new system of 'preference' to keep Sarah Palin out. Power by any means.

#4 Brer, I think you're right. They act like somebody's about to catch a bullet.

#5 She's there to collect the 'never Trumpers'.
In the end she'll throw them over to Biden.

#8 That endorsement is absolute proof that no one should vote for Nikki.

#9 I don't think there is any doubt Haley is still in the "race" in case Trump in unable to run for President.

"Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)"
--- Thanks again to the RNC (despite the rigged system in AK)

"Donald Trump won the Republican caucuses on Saturday in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho. Overall, Trump won with nearly 98 percent support against Haley." (from another Website)

--- Murkowski is as delusional as they come; or, he's setting herself up for a position in the Haley Administration (perish the thought).

#10 What about the coveted Mitt Romney endorsement? That'll put her over the top!

#12 Nikki still loses if Trump decides he wants to golf in peace. It would then go to a contested convention. All the Delaware’s are Trump delegates. Nikki would be nominated. Delegates would be under tremendous pressure from the establishment to approve her nomination, but all their neighbors would be texted them to have our backs. Enough would nix the idea. The party would then try some other clowns, but in the end it would be Vivek.
