    Maybe if they modified it to ‘Former Haley voters’, that could arguably solve the perceived defamation problem, by making it more obvious that they do not reflect opinions or stances of Haley, as they are former supporters of hers, also thus kind of? implying they are against Haley?

    Just adding in that they are against someone else does not rectify the possible defamatory nature of using Haley’s name, but maybe modifying their relationship to Haley does?

    Former friends of bob support Hitler?

    God this is almost as pedantic as copyright disputes.

      The FEC rule says it has to be negative?

      Something like…

      “Voters not voting for Haley but most definitely not voting for Trump.”

        Former, now Anti-Haley voters for not voting for not voting against Trump.

        There we go, perfectly succinct rofl.
