Author and political commentator Alex Marlow argues that Nikki Haley represents the old guard establishment of the Republican Party, which is out of step with the Republican base.
He highlighted differences between Haley and the base on issues such as border security, defense policy, and media relations.
Marlow noted that the Republican primary voters align more with Trump’s views on these issues.
“She’s the representative of the old guard establishment of the Republican Party,” Marlow said.
“[These are] the type of people who think we can equivocate on the open border; the type of people who think maybe there’s something to this trans craze that we’re in; who think that we need to be in more wars, not fewer; and that defense contractors should be running our foreign policy. That’s all the issues that Nikki Haley differentiates herself from Trump. But on the other stuff, they’re probably reasonably in the ballpark.”
“The people who are voting in these primaries typically see more eye to eye with Trump,” he said.
“They think the border is a major problem. They think that taking it to the establishment media is a major problem. And they think that the establishment in general — the political establishment — is really the biggest threats.”
RealClearPolitics polling average shows Trump leading Haley by nearly 20 points in New Hampshire.
