Last Stand Hill

Years ago Jill and I spent a couple of days camping in the vicinity and touring the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.  It is a sprawling battlefield best navigated by automobile to capture the scale of the do or die conflict.  

Nikki Haley has finally gotten what she wanted since the start to her campaign for the GOP presidential nomination:  a vast battlefield in New Hampshire and a one-on-one showdown with Donald Trump.  Do or die.

Sunday the field was cleared for her with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign.  The former governor of South Carolina and UN Ambassador, Haley is left as the only real threat to a third consecutive Trump nomination.

Polling suggests Trump retains a commanding lead, but Haley has dismissed the idea the race was over, suggesting America doesn't do coronations.  We believe in choices.

We'll see if this is the hill she's chosen to die on.  Stay-tuned...
