Haley didnt condemn Trumps remarks, but dismissed them.
The name calling: I know President Trump well.
That is what he does when he feels threatened.

On Fox News, Trump was in friendly territory.
I love the state of New Hampshire.
I love the people of New Hampshire.
I dont like their primary system for one reason: They have whats called an open primary.
Does that system bother you?
Trump said, It bothers me.
She has got no chance.
She has got no way.
MAGA is not going to be with her.
He was referring to Governor Chris Sununu, who has endorsed Haley.
Who has a system where Democrats are allowed to vote in a Republican primary?
CNN also dropped plans for its own debate, which was to be held on Sunday.
In New Hampshire, she is trying to thread a needle not Trump but also notanti-Trump.
You dont fix Democrat chaos with Republican chaos, Haley said.
She also pushed back on Trumps claim that presidents need absolute immunity.
There needs to be accountability.
No one is above the law, she said.
Before he dropped out, Christie had focused on Trumps unfitness for office.
Haley reiterated that she would pardon the former president, but only if he is found guilty.
When you talk about a pardon, someone has already been found guilty.
This is no longer about whether he is innocent or guilty.
This is about how do we bring the country back together.
I was a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town.
We had plenty of racism that we had to deal with.
But my parents never said that we lived in a racist country.
And I am so thankful that they didnt.
I think it is important that we tell our kids, America is not perfect.
We have our stains.
But our goal should always be to make today better than yesterday, she added.
She made a point of casting herself as not just the alternative to Trump but to Biden.
Right now, do we really want to have two 80-year-olds running for president?
Cut an arrogant front-runner down to size.
Ask George W. Bush.
New Hampshire is not the Granite State, it is the Punisher state.
Life, imitates art.
