This is 80% of the way to an Onion article.
If Trump vote was estimated to be at ~60% which is not so much more - French might have written "Haley must appeal to the old-fashioned Republicans who want somebody to vote for." It would be a right-wing version of "This is how Bernie can still win." It would be wish casting with only platitudes and zero details.
The funny thing is that in many ways, Trump is to the GOP what Bernie was to the Dems. He is the Republican that people want to vote for, and everyone else is a professional politician going along to get along. The difference is that the GOP primary is more democratic than the Dem primary, which will never not be funny.
I wonder if in all its flag-waving coverage if MSNBC mentioned other democratic candidates by name who got votes in the New Hampshire primary. The primary was a joke anyway. It wasn't official so zero delegates were at stake.
Of course - I'm being very silly and not a single verboten name was mentioned on the network. American civil religion demands filial piety to the two parties and the avoidance of the forbidden just like God intended.
