Should it come as a surprise that one of the most notorious swamp creatures among modern-day RINOs won the swamp? Even Democratic Party public relations firm Politico knows this is no grassroots conservative victory for the Trump-bashing former United Nations ambassador. 

“Nikki Haley won her first presidential primary on Sunday. She just had to wait for the D.C. insider crowd to vote,” Politico’s Natalie Allison wrote. 

Lest Haley get too big a head, the piece came with the leveling sub headline, “Her win comes ahead of an expected blowout by Donald Trump on Super Tuesday.” 

In fact, the swamp was all Haley could scrabble out of another disastrous weekend in her prolonged quest to … what? Capture the GOP presidential nomination? Jostle for a Trump cabinet post? Showcase her availability for a top-ticket run for the Trump-hating No Labels political brand?
