Nikki Haley is staying in against the odds. It may hurt her in the long-run.

There is no "long-run" for the Republican party. Haley isn't even a Republican at this point, she's just the non-Trump pick. The Republican party is becoming the Trumplican party. The two party system is shaking a bit.

Edit: Oh god, it's in Milwaukee. That's like seceding from the Union and then putting your new capitol city 100 miles from Washington DC.

If we can manage not to fall into a hellish fascist dystopia, that would be a good thing.
