Nikki Haley lost by more than ten points overnight in New Hampshire.
The Republican National Committee now wants to crown election-denier Trump as its nominee.
But Haley has made clear she’s not going to go quietly. She’s sticking around to call Trump senile and sees if he falls down any (metaphorical) stairs.
Election denier Trump meanwhile is getting really stroppy with her and, like a sad class bully, has started threatening her.
