Conservative megadonors Koch not funding Haley anymore as she continues longshot bid

[Dulcinea]

A conservative super PAC backed by the powerful Koch donor network says it has stopped spending to support former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

The announcement comes on heels of Haley's loss in her home state's Republican primary to former President Donald Trump.

The Americans for Prosperity super PAC announced its support for Haley in November, saying it believed a majority of Republican voters were ready to move on from Trump.

In a new memo out Sunday, AFP Action says the group "wholeheartedly" supports Haley's plan to keep campaigning.

1. Does this mean, Koch has dumped Nikki for Trump?

2. Haley probably has enough money to last until Super Tuesday, after which she'll be forced to pause her campaign.

While Trump obviously represents the greater danger if he were to be elected, I’m not sorry to see Haley sidelined because I think she would have a decent chance of winning.

3. When the checkbooks snap shut, so does the campaign.

I hope Haley bows out soon. She isn't going to damage Trump's chances in the slightest. Which means, she is essentially dead weight. I can only roll my eyes at someone who claims to oppose Trump and his batshittery, but promises to pardon him if she becomes President.
