Nikki Haley Touts All-Star Lineup of Influential Maine Endorsements Ahead of March 5 Primary

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who has yet to drop out of the GOP presidential race, shared with Maine’s George Soros-funded media outlets Tuesday the impressive lineup of politicos backing her campaign.

In a post to the websites controlled by the National Trust for Local News, Haley’s remaining campaign staff listed tens of endorsements from Maine residents.

The list included former Republican State Sen. Mary Small, who last held office in 2002, former State Rep. Jayne Giles, who hasn’t won an election since 2008, and a former school board chairman.

Also among Haley’s supporters was former House Republican Chief of Staff to Kathleen Dillingham, Billy Thompson, who exited State House politics in 2022 after taking a $20,000 payout from the Dillingham-controlled House Republican Fund.

Haley’s backers also included former Senate President Mike Thibodeau, whose last foray into Maine politics was a brief failed bid to succeed former Republican Gov. Paul LePage, with whom he frequently clashed as Senate Republican Leader.

Former Congressman David Emery, who served in Congress from 1975 to 1983, is also backing Haley.

Emery’s anti-Trump tack came as little surprise considering he also endorsed far left Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ constitutionally dubious plan to rig the primary election by stripping Trump from the ballot.

Haley has yet to win a single state’s GOP nomination contest.

The Maine endorsement she needs is a guy in a lobster suit to tell her her campaign is cooked.

I would vote for Hunter Bidins crack pipe be for the war mongering Haley. Plus, Shanna Bellows and co. can take a flying screw in a rolling donut. Commie, socialist, would-be dictators one and all. FU!

We finally had an opportunity to listen to a Haley speech a few weeks ago. Lot of platitudes and snarky jabs, I thought we were back at Martel School in sub-primary listening to her condescending dribble.
