Haley isn't going to win but voting for her in the primaries will help fracture the republican party further.

If she wins the primaries, there's no way Trump won't run as an independent.

Not unless she buys him off with promises of pardons and funding for his lawsuits. They could very well strike a deal where she names him as her VP and promises him oversight of the Department of Justice.

Do you think she likes him enough to do that?

You don’t have to like someone to strike a deal to gain the presidency.

Fair, but I don't think it would be wise to place trump in a position where your death would make him president.

Excellent point, perhaps put him on charge of the justice department then…

Or it won't. It will look like they are more popular and bolster the outlook for the party.
