Neoconservative presidential candidate Nikki Haley continues to insist that she will defeat former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary.
Of course, Trump leads Haley by double digits in every state.
Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday, Haley seemed in complete denial about her chances.
“You're obviously running in South Carolina, and you've told me you plan to be there,” Tapper began. “Well, obviously you want to be the nominee and then the president, but you'll be there at least until Super Tuesday.”
“If the unthinkable from your perspective happens and you don't win, will it be difficult to support Trump as the Republican Party's nominee, given what you so clearly think of him?” Tapper asked.
“Well, first, I think you need to know that I will defeat President Trump,” Haley replied. “But you should ask him if it would be difficult for him to support me?”
“He did not sign the GOP pledge in 2016,” Tapper replied. “I don't think he's definitely not going to sign it now. So I'm sure he'll say no. But I guess you won't commit to voting for him if he becomes the nominee?”
Haley responded, saying: “What I am saying is what I said from the beginning when there were 14 candidates on stage, that any one of the 14 would be better than Joe Biden.”
Recently, neither of these candidates won the Republican primary in Nevada, where Haley was the only major candidate on the ballot.
Trump, the Republican Party's front-runner by a large margin, was not on the ballot, and instead participated in the state caucus.
