Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was brutally mocked online after she lost to quite literally no one in Tuesday’s Nevada primary.
No delegates were at stake as the Nevada GOP had recently decided to award those to the winner of a separate caucus — meaning the primary was pointless, as The Washington Post noted.
But still, a good showing in Nevada could have shown that Haley’s campaign had some momentum.
Trump was not on the ballot, but Haley was, along with two candidates who had already dropped out of the race — former Vice President Mike Pence and Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
One option for voters was “None of These Candidates.”
That option handily defeated Haley by a margin of nearly 2-1, and the responses were not kind to the former South Carolina Governor.
Imagine losing 2-1 to “None of the Above” https://t.co/lQeAM9KkDB

Do you support Trump?
Nikki Haley lost by over 30% to None Of The Above (Trump wasn’t on the ballot)
In every single county, None Of The Above crushed. In 11 out of the 17 counties, it got ***70%*** of the vote or more. pic.twitter.com/0MYnICfUc8

HUMILIATION: Nikki Haley lost the Nevada primary to “None of These Candidates” – more than half of primary voters (60%) prefer “no one” over her. pic.twitter.com/FzQ2NefszR

Haley did not directly respond to losing to “None of These Candidates” but did take a shot at former President Donald Trump on her X page on Wednesday morning:
Republicans keep doing the same thing and getting the same result: chaos. That’s the definition of insanity.
This week:
❌RNC imploded
❌GOP House can’t pass ANYTHING
❌Trump lost another court case & threw another temper tantrumA vote for Trump is a vote for more chaos.

Haley was also mocked for that post:
You know that whole “if you were the last person on Earth, I still wouldn’t…” Saying?
That’s how Americs feels about you.

Thank you for sticking it out! I’ve never seen an unopposed candidate place second before.
I can’t wait to see what humiliation you’ll tolerate next and how very little you’re getting paid to sit there and take it.

Trump is the only candidate on the ballot in Thursday’s caucuses meaning the state’s delegates will all go to him.
