MARC THIESSEN: He's effectively the quasi-Republican incumbent. He never ceded the leadership of the Republican Party. He's offended that anyone challenged him for the Republican nomination. He thinks he should be the nominee. The last time you had a challenge like this to a Republican incumbent was in 1992, when Pat Buchanan challenged George H.W. Bush. He got 38% to Bush's 52%. The New York Times headline was ‘Bush jarred in first primary. President Bush scored a less than impressive victory over Pat Buchanan.' Haley did much better than Buchanan ever did. Why is this not jarring? You just showed the stats. 35% of Republicans in the state are not going to vote for Donald Trump. He's bleeding centrists. He needs those Haley voters, and right now, a lot of the Republican Party and independents are saying they're not going to vote for him. So it's a warning sign. … 

She's the only candidate who has shown in polls, in several polls, to have a double-digit lead over Biden. So her argument is: do you want to go with your heart or do you want to go with your head? Do you want to win this election? Are you willing to risk four more years of Joe Biden, which will be the first Kamala Harris presidency? And you look at everything that's happening in the world, is that a risk you're willing to take? And a lot of Republicans are saying, yeah, because Trump is being under attack and they want to rally around it.
