After she finished second to "None of These Candidates" in Nevada's primary -- where Donald Trump was not listed on the ballot -- Nikki Haley slammed her own party as chaotic.
“Republicans keep doing the same thing and getting the same result: chaos. That’s the definition of insanity,” she wrote, saying that the “RNC imploded,” the “GOP House can’t pass ANYTHING” and “Trump lost another court case & threw another temper tantrum.”
According to the New York Times' Jazmine Ulloa, Haley's rant is the "latest break between Ms. Haley and her party" as she looks to take a more adversarial stance towards Donald Trump.

Despite her poor performance in Nevada, Haley will be named winner of the contest anyway since “only votes cast for the named candidates shall be counted.” But according to Ulloa, the result denied her a much needed symbolic victory.
"Ms. Haley has continued to project confidence, saying that she will stay in the race until Super Tuesday, on March 5. But she remains far behind Mr. Trump in most state and national polls," Ulloa writes. "In South Carolina, where she was governor and which will hold its primary on Feb. 24, she trails him by roughly 30 percentage points. In California, a Super Tuesday state, and where she is set to appear for a rally on Wednesday evening, she is down by more than 50."
