If she can win ~5 states I think she gets to make certain demands at the convention. Such as giving a speech or requiring a platform be written.
No Haley fan, but I am interested to see what or if her plan here is.

She’s a republican, they haven’t had a cohesive plan or platform, except to be obstructionists, for years.
…but I agre, it would be interesting to see her be a pain in trumps (very large) ass for awhile longer

I think she knows she’s a protest vote.
What are the rules if Trump suddenly dies? I can’t imagine they just crown her the nomination.

I think all his delegates would become unbound and there could be a floor fight at the convention if someone steps up to challenge Haley.

I’m cheering her on if only because any of her wins has to burn another ulcer in Trump’s stomach.
Plus, Biden might be able to beat Trump again; I’m not so sure how he’d do against Haley, especially after she’d pivot post-primary to more moderate center messaging.
I’m still glad she’s hanging in there being a distraction for Trump. She’s definitely going to lead the party ticket in 2028, though. This is just a pre-game practice for her, and the Democrat party better be paying attention. I mean, assuming Trump fails to turn his presidency into a perpetual dictatorship a-la Putin, which is still on the bingo board.

After opposing their God-King? I wouldn’t be so sure unless they make some drastic changes.

Lol as if Presidente Trump is going to repeat the mistake of allowing another election

His supporters would probably back constitutional change removing the term limit, so a “good” president can stay in for longer

Everyone should hang in and resist the slide toward fascism, even if that’s Neocon Republican types like Haley.
