Shermichael Singleton: The Reality Is the Math Isn’t There, Nikki Haley Will Always Be Playing Catch Up to Trump

BLITZER: “She’s clearly counting on independents to —“
SINGLETON: “Yeah.”
BLITZER: “— to — to — to go with her and help her win in New Hampshire.”
SINGLETON: “And Wolf, again, that goes back to my original point. I mean, I’ve worked on three presidential campaigns and when you start doing your voter profiles to figure out who are your voters that you need to target and engage and ultimately turn out, if I’m advising Governor Haley, I’m thinking OK, New Hampshire, moderate leaning and independents. I’m looking at South Carolina we’re probably going to lose if we decide to stay in but we’re going to give it our all. The governor endorsed Trump. Both U.S. senators have endorsed Trump. A litany of U.S. Congress members have now endorsed Trump. Several major evangelical pastors in the state, I know the state very well, Wolf, have now also endorsed the former president. So you’re looking to Super Tuesday, I’m looking at states like maybe Massachusetts, maybe Idaho, a few other states that are more moderate leaning that she could pick up delegates potentially. But Wolf, the reality is, the math isn’t there. She’ll always be playing catch up to Donald Trump. You need 1215 to become the Republican nominee and Donald Trump appears at this moment to be best suited to win those numbers.”
