NBC reporter Ali Vitali said Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign had a surprisingly “jubilant” and “happy warrior” mood despite expecting poor Super Tuesday results, like “dancing on the deck of the Titanic.”
Vitali reported from outside Haley’s campaign headquarters, where sources said the mood was upbeat with celebratory music playing.
“In terms of the new reporting we have, and I’m right outside her campaign headquarters, I’m told by a campaign source that the mood inside – and this might surprise you – is jubilant, and throughout the day, I have heard the phrase ‘happy warrior’ from all of these folks that are either getting out the vote for Nikki Haley in these waning hours of Super Tuesday or who are hunkered down after traveling to over seven or eight states in just as many days these last week-and-a-half. They say they’re playing music, a lot of this music has a certain female tint to it,” Vitali said.
However, Haley had long vowed to stay in the race as long as she remained “competitive,” a vague term open to interpretation without televised remarks on how results unfolded.
Vitali suggested the jubilant atmosphere gave an impression of ignoring impending defeat, likening it to dancing as the Titanic sank.
She added, “I think the thing that’s important is she has long said she will stay in this race for as long as she’s competitive. Very vague word there, but it’s also hard to define if you have or haven’t been competitive, as these results roll in, if you’re not doing anything that’s going to be televised, if you’re not going to be giving remarks to tell your view of how these results shook out.”
“Really, the idea that the mood is jubilant here, it almost gives the sense of like dancing on the deck of the Titanic almost,” Vitali said.
