They really want us to think she won someplace that actually matters...

[mikeporten]

Did anyone else just find out for the first time that DC even had a primary?

[Sbxallday]

She got 1200 votes in a city with a population of over 700, 000 people.

[barberman]

Actually winning in DC is probably one of the worst things that could happen to Haley.

It just confirms what everyone already knew: politicians and lobbyists are worlds apart from everyday Americans.

The WASHINGTON DC SWAMP
IS NOT A STATE

[Blundabus]

This headline makes it sound like she's going to be the republican primary.

[Manydaysmore]

Winning DC is not something to be proud of. That is the most embarrassing thing that can happen to her…

[ST-gfms]

She is also the first woman to lose a Republican primary to “None Of The Above”

[craigforest]

I hate to break it to her…this ain’t a win. 😂😂😂😂

[willysbest]

DC voting for Haley should tell you everything you need to know about Haley. She is a big part of the swamp.

[GramHofertCrackers]

The mainstream media is so happy for her win in DC. Hahahaha!

[LiiveWiire]

She probably the first women to lose 4 primaries in a row as well... we didn't see any headlines on that though

[pdureska]

Haley winning DC primary is like kicking a field goal with 10 sec left in the game and you’re losing 63 to nothing. Let’s get real here

[MadBison]

This is the neediest headline ever. Congratulations.

[Be_Careful_Bro]

Winning DC is like Hitler winning an election inside Nazi headquarters.

[cbro]

if the swamp loves nikki, then nikki is part of the swamp!

[Tyee]

"Queen of the Swamp" is accurate.

[ralphey]

QUEEN OF THE SWAMP
She should be ashamed!!
But apparently Haley has no shame.

[Mrfixit]

Oddly enough, she won it in the swamp itself. It’s Pretty self explanitory.

[justinnutt]

The fact that this media is covering this in support of Haley says everything.
