Upfront, let’s acknowledge the reality that, had Nikki Haley not been propped up by the permanent ruling class this past primary cycle as an alternative to Trump to try to lure the GOP base away from him, she would never have gotten a single breath of oxygen in any kind of media — corporate, independent, social, or otherwise.

Her sponsors, thankfully, never came close to achieving their objective of using her to unseat Trump in the primary.
She got steamrolled, even with massive institutional backing and tons of campaign cash. Accordingly, Liz Cheney, who otherwise would have been an enthusiastic surrogate for Haley,aley, was left with Kamala Harris to endorse as the Chosen One of the entrenched power structure.
No one cares about Nikki Haley outside of the Beltway, and rightfully so, because there is nothing compelling or admirable about just another Swamp pig getting fat at the trough and doing her masters’ bidding.

At any rate, for whatever reason Fox News believes Nikki is still relevant enough to interview about what Trump ought to do to win elections, her recent landslide defeat notwithstanding.
Liberal corporate media has been running hog-wild with what they hope will be division they can foment inside of the MAGA coalition.
Via The Daily Beast (emphasis added):
Nikki Haley, the Trump-supporting former South Carolina governor who periodically emerges on cable news to express concerns about the former president’s campaign, did so again Tuesday when she told Fox News that its “overly masculine” nature is unappealing to women.
Haley not only said that the bashing of Puerto Rico that occurred at Trump’s rally over the weekend was problematic, but that the campaign also “needs to look at how they are talking about women.“
“This bromance and this masculinity stuff—it borders on edgy to the point that it’s going to make women uncomfortable,“ Haley told Fox’s Bret Baier. ”You’ve got affiliated PACs that are doing commercials about calling Kamala [Harris] the c-word, or you had speakers at Madison Square Garden referring to her and her ‘pimps.’ That is not the way to win women. That is not the way to win people who are concerned about Trump’s style.”
To be fairer to Nikki Haley than she perhaps deserves, as someone ostensibly devoted to getting Trump into office, not all of her advice was terrible — for example, encouraging Trump to stop talking about his crowd sizes.
In the same way that no real person cares about Nikki Haley, no one cares about Trump’s crowd sizes — except maybe to occasionally note that he enjoys way more popular support than the Karamel-uh entity. But bringing it up nonstop comes off as braggadocious and self-serving. What people care about is what politicians are going to do for them in office.
In any case, we don’t need Nikki Haley to tell us the obvious and we don’t need Trump to lay off the “masculinity stuff” when he’s attracting male voters of all races at record clips and any woman turned off by an embrace of masculinity is very likely a lost cause anyway. The View vote is solidly in the tank for Kamala already.
