But I do still love Trump.”The winner of South Carolina's Republican primary has won the nomination all but one time since 1980.
Haley, as a state legislator in 2010, trounced older, more established candidates in a Republican primary on her way to winning two gubernatorial elections.
On paper, South Carolina offers the broad Republican coalition Haley has sought.
South Carolina has a large presence of every Republican faction: evangelicals and social conservatives; anti-tax Tea Party activists; national security hawks; business-minded traditionalists.
South Carolina voters do not register by party and choose which major party primary to participate in each election cycle.
