Former Ambassador Nikki Haley will be in Colorado Tuesday to campaign for the Republican nomination in the Super Tuesday presidential contest here next week, we report with a straight face.
Yes, the former governor of South Carolina lost to Donald Trump in her home state by 20 points on Saturday.
Yes, Americans for Prosperity pulled their critical financial support on Sunday.
But what the Hell, Trump could always get indicted again by yet another ridiculous Democrat prosecutor and that could always flip the script. Just not in Haley’s favor.
The more Trump is prosecuted by a politicized judiciary, the more determined Republicans are to stand by him to ensure this bullshit doesn’t keep happening to Republican candidates.
But we digress.
Haley will host a two-hour rally beginning at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Wings over the Rockies Exploration of Flight in Centennial.

We expect she will draw a respectable crowd of Republicans.
Instead of campaigning against Trump, she would probably do well to stick to her script of solid foreign policy points and her bona fides as a Tea Party governor.
From the Denver Post:
Ahead of Haley’s rally in Centennial, her campaign on Monday announced her “Colorado state leadership team” — a list of prominent supporters who will try to build support as primary voters return their ballots in the next week. Among them are former U.S. attorneys Troy Eid and Jason Dunn; Tom Norton, a former state Senate president and a former Greeley mayor; Todd Chapman, a former diplomat and U.S. ambassador; and Wendy Buxton-Andrade, a Prowers County commissioner.
Haley’s endgame isn’t clear and her chances of joining a second Trump administration are long gone.
With her funding well suddenly gone dry, we predict Tuesday’s rally will be one of the last few times we’ll see her on the campaign trail this year as a presidential candidate.
