The Other McCain gives us the best explanation I've seen. Super Thursday Thoughts: ‘Republican’ Nikki Haley’s ‘Presidential Campaign’ Was Actually a CIA Operation, and Is America Ready for the Angry Joe Biden Show?
If you say that she wasn't working on some bizarre CIA operation, then you have to believe that she thought she could win, even after she lost her home state. No one is that stupid, not even the Never Trump crowd.
Trump was nearing 60% support from Republican primary voters in the Real Clear Politics average, more than 45 points ahead of his nearest competitor. Well, polls aren’t necessarily predictions, but then Trump won Iowa and New Hampshire, after which point the only other candidate in the field was Nikki Haley. After she got stomped in her home state of South Carolina, it was clearly time for her to quit, but she didn’t.
Why? Given that she had zero chance to win the Republican nomination, why did Nikki Haley keep campaigning? My answer: Because she wasn’t actually running for president. Her entire campaign was a charade, an elaborate psyop planned and controlled by the CIA.
As The Other McCain notes, she has never denied that she works for the CIA, and this makes as much sense as thinking she was going to win the nomination. Maybe it makes more sense.

I was thinking she was just raking in some campaign bucks and getting more exposure, for the next time she needs to get told No. I don't understand why the CIA would keep that campaign running. But they do operate on levels I just don't Get sometimes..
