Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said the U.S. could expect "unhinged chaos" if Donald Trump is allowed to win the GOP primary.
During an interview on Fox News, Haley responded to Trump's attack on her deployed husband. She said people who defended Trump — like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) — were "disgusting."
"You know, to sit there and mock my husband for not being with me on the presidential trail because he is deployed and serving our country," Haley explained. "You mock one veteran. You're mocking all veterans."
"The problem with Trump is he's never been anywhere near a uniform," she continued. "But the reality is the closest he's come to harm's way is a golf ball hitting him and on a golf cart."
Haley said Trump's trouble began when he strayed from a prepared speech at a recent campaign event.

"He goes off script from a teleprompter for two minutes, and he criticizes the military, mocks my husband, but he also goes and takes a side of Putin in NATO and says that he would actually encourage Putin to invade our allies," she recalled. "He went off the teleprompter. That's what you're going to get is unhinged chaos. And that only makes Joe Biden... sound sane."
The former South Carolina governor also blasted Trump's record of losing.
"What I worry about is you look at last week, and you see all of the losses that Republicans had," she remarked. "You see, Trump lost his case on immunity. Republicans lost their case on Israel. They lost their case on impeaching Mayorkas. Then you go, and you have the RNC chair lose her job."
"Trump had his fingers in all of that," she added. "How many more times do we have to lose before we realize that he is the problem?"
