@OwenHenahan "Haley Cedes Republican Race to Trump, But Does Not Endorse Him" Direct quote from her speech follows: In all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be America’s president. Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us. I have always been a conservative Republican and always supported the Republican nominee. But on this question, as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice when she said, quote, “Never just follow the crowd. Always make up your own mind.” It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.

Resolves YES if by anytime prior to election day 2024 Nikki Haley endorses or says she intends to vote for Donald Trump. Resolves NO if Haley says he will not endorse Trump or remains neutral.

Scam

Very misleading since the title should reflect that

It is FAR from an endorsement. Read the pinned articles under the chart. She expressly says she will not endorse him. Endorsement implies supporting him. She does not support him or his policies. There is a big difference between an endorsement and voting for the lesser of two perceived evils.

@RickBlevins friend, the market description clearly states:

Resolves YES if by anytime prior to election day 2024 Nikki Haley endorses or says she intends to vote for Donald Trump.

@shankypanky

See the above articles where Niki Haley expressly said she wouldn't endorse Trump. She conceded the nomination and agreed to vote for him because he is a Republican but that is a LONG way from endorsing him. If you want to split hairs, you should just return everyone's bet, but saying she endorsed him is a stretch.

@shankypanky wait why was he banned?

@RickBlevins I'm not sure what you mean - the reference to "she would not immediately endorse Trump" was from two months ago when she conceded the nomination. Now she's going on record to say that between the two candidates, Biden would be a catastrophe and while Trump has not been perfect she's voting for him. This is an endorsement, do you not agree?

@shankypanky the description also says

"Resolves YES if by anytime prior to election day 2024 Nikki Haley endorses or says she intends to vote for Donald Trump." so this one is pretty clear.


the header on the AP website (which I linked because there isn't a paywall) says explicitly Nikki Haley Endorsement

@SemioticRivalry this is also true (thanks, I was replying from my phone)

@RickBlevins see the market description, which specifies going on record with an intent to vote for him (which she did today). the Yes resolution stands here.

I’m not persuaded by the “diminished career aspirations from the lack of an endorsement argument.” There are clearly a lot of Never Trump conservatives types for which she’s become a symbol and who continue to send her money. She can afford to be patient.

@CraigTalbert “Never Trump conservatives” in 2024 are basically a) Effectively just Democrats e.g Bill Kristol b) Sideshow grifters e.g Lincoln Project c) “principled” old school neocons who are now pariahs in the Republican party with no national future: Romney, Pence, Paul Ryan etc Can you point to a counter example? i.e Politician who is a plausible Republican nominee in 2028 who is not endorsing Trump?

Do you think Haley will attend the RNC or campaign for Republicans downballot without having endorsed Trump?

@diadematus If the last 10 years have taught us anything, it’s that people love apostates.

opened a Ṁ250 NO at 95% order

@diadematus you are without a doubt the worst capital allocator I have ever heard of

@Joshua you're just too cowardly to express your true probabilities

@Joshua I prefer to think of myseld as a “high conviction investor”. Curiously, I think buying NO on this or any related markets is the single dumbest trade on Manifold ;)

bought Ṁ50 NO at 60%
bought Ṁ1,000 YES from 95% to 96%

@shankypanky

I will always remember this as the day I bet against Captain Jack Sparrow

@Joshua now that these have been resolved, I'd like to know what the Captain says is the new single dumbest trade on Manifold 🏴‍☠

Bill Barr has endorsed Trump, in case anyone is still delusional about what will happen here

opened a Ṁ2,000 NO at 99.0% order

@diadematus i put up a limit order at 99% if you want more action at that price lmao

bought Ṁ85,000 YES from 82% to 99.0%
opened a Ṁ4,000 NO at 98% order

@jacksonpolack 😊 i'd take more though
