Nikki Haley wins the swamp

Of all of the primary races that a Republican candidate can win on the way to the presidential nomination, Washington, D.C., is arguably the least important. That is, unless you are Nikki Haley.

As the seat of the United States government, the nation’s capital is the most Democratic region of the nation that is afforded electoral votes in the presidential election. Since the city was granted three electoral votes, no Republican has garnered even 30% of the vote, despite winning several landslide elections.
