I have been thinking about writing-in Nikki Haley for a couple of months now since she dropped out of the GOP primaries, and, apparently, I am far from being alone in that thinking...

Some Haley voters hanging on to her candidacy, refuse to endorse Trump

I will not vote for Donald Trump and I will not vote (again) for Joe Biden.
Just as RFK Jr. is likely to draw Democratic votes away from Joe Biden, so too is Nikki Haley very likely to draw votes away from Donald Trump.
Given Haley's very large minority-percentage draw at the polls prior to her exit from the campaign trail, especially some of those early states, I'm thinking she'll prove impactful.
Haley has the experience in governing and she has the foreign policy chops to be a highly effective President... if not in 2024, then in 2028.
She has strong leadership abilities and both a vision and a moral compass vastly superior to either of the pre-Boomer or early-Boomer Old Farts.
If I follow-through with my present inclination to write-in Nikki Haley it will send a signal to the Old Men and help encourage her for 2028.
In that respect ( sending a message ) at least I would not be throwing-away my vote; rather, I would be using it well, thinking of the future.
---------
Which begs a question....
Given that the election is still seven months off (as I write this) and that none of us have a crystal ball to predict the future...
And conceding in advance that neither RFK Jr. nor Nikki Haley stand any real chance of being elected in 2024...
"Do you think that Nikki Haley (RFK, too) will win a sizable non-winning percentage of the vote?"
