On Saturday, she lost in her home state of South Carolina- where she was governor for six years - following earlier defeats in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada (where Trump didn't even bother to compete and she was beaten by "none of these candidates").

Two things have already become clear on the campaign trail. The first is that Trump is indisputably, extraordinarily, on course to be his party's presidential candidate in November. The majority of Republicans want a populist, not a contender like Haley, whom they regard as an establishment figure.
The second is that a significant minority of Republican voters are made anxious by the prospect of his candidacy.
In Iowa, 49 per cent voted against him; 45 per cent in New Hampshire; 40 per cent in South Carolina.
