Donald Trump easily defeated Nikki Haley in South Carolinian last Saturday. But I wasn't disappointed. I was rather surprised to hear Haley's approval rating was 40%. Actually Haley promised not to quit the primary election. She said the roughly 40% of the vote was "not some tiny group".

However Koch-backed group, AFP, decided to stop spending for Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign on Sunday. Haley’s campaign spokesperson said, Our fight continues ,because more than $1 million will be coming in from grassroots conservatives soon.

I guess, AFP‘s decision is definitely a big blow to Haley. Presidential elections in USA require huge amounts of money. That’s the defect in American politics and American democracy. Still, I'm expecting for the surprise from Hailey on Super Tuesday.
