Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican nominee for president.

His only opponent in this race, former Governor Nicki Haley,

had vowed to stay in the race through Super Tuesday and this morning,

after only winning the state of Vermont and the city of

Washington DC, Nicky Haley dropped out.

Now if there was anything truly significant about Haley's campaign.

It was the degree to which it was a symbol of dissatisfaction

with Donald Trump.

Yes, Nicky Haley talked about the deficit

and advocated for congressional term limits.

But really the whole point of the Haley Project

was to offer Republicans an alternative

to the guy with the orange blowout.

So when Nicki Haley dropped out this morning, the big question was,

who is she going to endorse? You might think this would be the moment for the last

person standing between Donald Trump and the complete takeover of the GOP wouldn't just

capitulate to Donald Trump and therefore render I don't know the entire point of

her candidacy moot. Maybe she wouldn't endorse Joe Biden but couldn't she, wouldn't she,

suggest that her supporters didn't have to vote for Donald Trump, that there were other

alternatives, that the Haley people might put country over party in times like these.

As it turns out that is not what Mickey Haley did. In all likelihood Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our Party Convention

meets in July.
