In hindsight, most people would say that moment was the difference between winning and losing, Cullen said.
Nikki hasnt created any kind of those moments this week.
This is Nikki Haleys best shot at winning a state.

They feel like democracy is on the ballot.
They are scared for the future.
They need to participate.
They dont want Donald Trump to win.
They are voting for Nikki Haley.
They are desperate for a different person.
