Nikki Haley aligns herself with Lindsey Graham wing of S.C. GOP
american thinker ^ | 9/3/2015 | Newsmachete

I first became suspicious of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley when Mitt Romney came to South Carolina and serenaded her with "Happy Birthday to You" while Nikki stood there blushing and preening, like a teenager on a first date. Not knowing very much about her politics, I didn't think anything more of it, until yesterday, when Haley attacked Donald Trump.

I attack Donald Trump too, but in a good way, raising the inconsistencies of his record. Haley, on the other hand, attacks him from the left for being too tough on illegal aliens and falsely claiming that Trump is against all immigrants.“Every time someone criticizes him, he goes and makes a political attack back,” Haley said when asked about Trump during an appearance at the National Press Club. “That’s not who we are as Republicans. That’s not what we do.”

Republicans don't respond to political attacks? That's not what Republicans do? Well, it's true enough, Romney didn't respond when Obama attacked him. Perhaps that's something that Republicans should do.

“Republicans need to remember that the fabric of America came from these legal immigrants,” she said. “If you want to talk about tackling illegal immigration, then let’s talk about it, but we don’t need to attack so many millions of people who came here . . . and did it the right way, like my parents.”

Trump has not attacked legal immigrants; this conflation of legal and illegal immigrants is an argument made by leftists, and Jeb Bush, to portray Trump as anti-legal immigration.

She applauds blacklivesmatter but criticizes Trump for using “hurtful language” toward illegals.

” She is a disaster. She is a total fraud.”

I think you have written a very accurate description of damn near all Republicans.
Every damn one of them here have a deer in the headlights look when “explaining” to us any of the myriad of government
failures.

According to the Senate voting results, so did a majority of Republicans in South Carolina.

The problem is that the Tea Party is an ideologically unstructured movement.

Very disappointed in Nikki Haley - contributed to her campaign and regret it. The confederate flag flap is what did it for me, Graham is just icing on the cake.

Might as well say Nikki aligns herself with the Dhimmicrat Party.

She has done good things. But the RINO within her is strong
