Arr! A noble New York scallywag, in his generosity, bequeathed upon former Cap'n Nikki Haley a tune o' wisdom from the legendary bard Kenny Rogers, in light o' her loss in the New Hampshire skirmish.
A top Republican donor, Andy Sabin, has advised GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley to "know when to walk away" after her loss to former President Trump in New Hampshire. Sabin, the chairman of the board of Sabin Metals, referenced the famous lyric from Kenny Rogers' song "The Gambler" as appropriate advice for Haley. In a previous interview, Sabin had predicted that New Hampshire would be "Custer's Last Stand" for Haley. However, he now believes that there is no benefit in her continuing her campaign into her home state of South Carolina.Sabin quoted Rogers' hit song from 1978, stating that it is time for Haley to walk away. He expressed his support for Haley in the future, mentioning that he would be the first to contribute to her campaign if she runs in 2028. However, he emphasized that 2024 is no longer her time, as she is currently trailing Trump by a wide margin in South Carolina polls.
Sabin expressed his frustration with the lack of viable alternatives to Trump in the presidential election, stating that Trump may be his only choice donation-wise. He also criticized Haley's consultants and staff, suggesting that they are telling her what she wants to hear instead of what she should hear.
Sabin's criticisms of Trump were also highlighted, with him quipping that he would vote for his dog over President Biden if given the choice. However, he clarified that he would still support Trump as the Republican nominee and believes that he has great policies, despite occasionally putting his foot in his mouth.
Overall, Sabin's advice to Haley is to recognize when it is time to step back from the race and focus on the future.
