Trump was not on the ballot, so Trump's supporters voted for "none of these candidates"
So, no, Politico, you steaming pile of shit, it's not worse than people can imagine; people can easily imagine Haley losing to Trump.
- An Indian woman, with immigrant parents, who likes Hillary… beating an old rich man in a right-wing race?
  You don’t say… ;)
It really wasn't much of an embarrassment considering primary voting in Nevada is meaningless and it's all chosen through separate caucuses.
Haley didn't spend any money in Nevada specifically because it was already rigged for Trump.

- So when is she going to start winning these races against Trump? If she wants to be the Republican nominee in 2024 she's going to have to start doing that eventually, but everything I've read says she's got almost no chance in South Carolina and I don't think it gets any better for her after her home state.
  On the other hand, if she doesn't really care about winning in 2024 and is just getting her name out there for 2028, this "hey, remember that time Haley lost to none of the above?" meme could hurt her.
  
  She's not going to beat him in the primary, however there's a not insignificant chance that Trump flames out (disqualification or conviction) and she'll be the only candidate left with some delegates and she'll default her way into the nomination.

  she chose to put her name in the primary ballot. and in nevada since they're having a primary and caucus you could only enter one. what was the plan here? if it was to show she's got general election appeal that was a massive failure. and it's totally embarrassing, trump wanted a caucus and he got one. and trump's name is the only one to be voted on, where the delegates will be awarded. that's not just a stupid strategy it's a losing one.

  if that was the case she shouldn't bother running. the entire republican primary process was rigged in favor of trump.
