Nikki Haley hopes to turn out Democrats to beat Donald Trump in the GOP primary.

Haley got a boost in that regard.

And this Hollywood A-lister just endorsed Nikki Haley for president.

As Great American Daily reports:

80-year-old actor Robert De Niro is a Hollywood legend.

The star of “The Godfather Part II,” “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and “Casino” also suffers from a legendary case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

In an interview with Rolling Stone where De Niro claimed that Joe Biden in a vegetative state was a better option as president than Donald Trump, De Niro also stated he would be happy to see RINO former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley win the GOP nomination even though he still planned to vote for Joe Biden in the general election. 

“We need anything to get rid of Trump,” De Niro declared. “If she [Haley] came in, it could at least throw him off and have her be the nominee. But Biden is the best person at this point.”

Much was made of a St. Anselm College poll showing Nikki Haley trailing Donald Trump by 15 points in New Hampshire.

Trump at 44 percent and Haley rising to 29 led pundits to breathlessly predict the majority of Republicans were ready to move on from Trump and that Haley had room to go.

But a peek underneath the hood of this poll shows the opposite may be true.

Liberals like Robert De Niro who hate Trump but who plan to vote for Joe Biden anyway in the general election make up the core of Nikki Haley’s base.

The St. Anselm College poll showed Haley winning 62 percent of Democrats.

Haley led Trump among independents by a much narrower 37 to 32 percent margin.

But Trump crushed Haley among Republicans by 34 points, 56 to 22 percent.

Democrats and independents love Haley because Haley won’t challenge the left.

At the November GOP debate Haley told Republicans they needed to accept the pro-choice position and accommodate abortion on demand in America.

“And what I’ll tell you is, as much as I’m pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice, and I don’t want them to judge me for being pro-life,” Haley stated. “So, when we’re looking at this, there are some states that are going more on the pro-life side. I welcome that. There’s some states that are going more on the pro-choice side. I wish that wasn’t the case, but the people decided.”

Nikki Haley is the type of Republican that Democrats and the D.C. swamp can do business with.

And that’s why liberals like Robert De Niro want to see Haley defeat Donald Trump.
