“In many parts of society today, whether in popular culture, academia, the media or politics, there’s a tendency to falsely equate noise with results,†Haley said. “Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.“

Trump should gain a few more points because of that. The Establishment is all in with their “take down Trump” plans. But it’s not worrrrkkkkinnnnnggg.
“Trump’s first proposal should be to move the elected government to someplace like Wyoming but away from Jackson Hole. They can leave the departments there just put the Congress in the middle of the country away from K street.”
That would be pretty good. North Dakota would be good too.
Haley is all about loading SC with as many “refugees” as obozo wants to pack in there. With luck, the good folks up there will send her packing next election.
Better: bulldoze the House and Senate buildings, and have Congress meet virtually, over the Internet. Have the politicians stay in their home states and districts.
"We didn't turn against each other's race or religion. We turned toward God, and to the values that have long made our country the freest and greatest in the world.
We removed a symbol that was being used to divide us, and we found a strength that united us against a domestic terrorist and the hate that filled him.
There's an important lesson in this. In many parts of society today, whether in popular culture, academia, the media, or politics, there's a tendency to falsely equate noise with results.
Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference."
Her statement "We didn't turn against each other's race or religion" isn't entirely true. Actually, she and many leftists and liberals turned against the millions of law abiding southerners, most of them white, who valued the display of the Confederate flag. By attacking a symbol shared by a large group of people she very much turned public opinion against them. Consider the same response applied to the terrorists in San Bernardino CA. Would Gov. Haley consider widespread condemnation of the symbols associated with Islam to be appropriate? Should major book distributors stop selling the Koran? Of course not, but that is what she in effect did in response to the actions of a mentally disturbed young man who in no way was representing the beliefs of millions of other citizens. She, and those who went along with her and the rest of the liberals who attacked a traditional southern cultural symbol did it knowing full well that they were turning society against a group of its citizens, most of whom happen to have the same race.
Characterizing a mentally disturbed young man as a "domestic terrorist" when a sane, adult Army officer with very specific motivations who murders his colleagues is classified as a perpetrator of "workplace violence" shows how Gov. Haley is repeating the leftist talking points nearly verbatim. In that liberal, and now Republican elite world, every effort is made to characterize the perpetrator as a terrorist if they could possibly have some relationship to conservative ideas even if they are obviously crazy. If the perpetrator is a Democrat, or a liberal, then they aren't a terrorist, just a deranged individual.
There are plenty of false equations in Gov. Haley's speech, and whatever "noise" Mr. Trump makes it is but a whisper compared to the "noise" Gov. Haley and her leftist friends make over every issue they can. After all, has Mr. Trump pressured Walmart into taking any products of its shelves?
Gov. Haley's rhetorical attempt to tie the principled expression of political viewpoints in a campaign to the kind of activity she associates it with is repugnant.
“The more they attack Trump, the stronger he becomes.”
You don’t think they know that?
People might want to start asking themselves why.
IF THEY CONTINUE???
We've been pleading for someone to come in and upset the moneychanger's tables. Trump is that man.
It's a given that the Empire will resist. The greater their fear, the more shrill the voices. This is what we've asked for.
She burned him? Really?
I am reminded of the final scene of The Score when DeNiro says, oh yeah, what have you got, heh, what have you got?

” not popular in her state”
neither was taking down the “Stars & Bars” I’m sure
Do you think this was written for her against her will?
You don’t burn Trump, Trump burns you.
Feel the burn, Nikki.
Nikki is the prime example on why ALL immigration needs to stop for a long long time. We need to assimilate what we got.
Nickki Haley is a RINO loser who sold her endorsement to MItt in 2012 for a $35,000 campaign contribution. She’s a nobody.
Imagine that, the daughter of foreigners not liking Trump.
She also didn’t like the Confederate flag and took that down. She hates Southern heritage.
She won’t be picked for the same reason Mitt didn’t pick her. It gets the GOP nothing. SC is already in the red column.
Actually, 75 percent or more of Congress’s business could be handled online — votes, committee meetings, caucuses, etc. There’s no reason our congresspeople have to be traveling to and from Washington like it’s 1789 or something. They could stay in their home districts, near their constituents — a prospect that probably terrifies the hell out of them. The only reason to continue the present system is it allows them to escape the home folks and enriches the coffers of DC bartenders and hookers.
I have not yet read, “Nikki Haley’s speech marks the end of Trump’s candidacy,” but I expect to find those articles by tomorrow. I will believe he’s lost support when I see it, or perhaps never. Trump is a strong person and a strong candidate, and the only thing that will stop him is a stronger candidate, not a “gaffe” (such as saying what 70% of Americans believe but don’t articulate because liberal thugs jump all over them when they tell the truth), and not the chattering classes or the insiders (journalists and the GOP establishment).
My hope is that Cruz will take the nomination, but otherwise, I find it hard to imagine Trump losing. I like Nikki Haley, more or less, but I’m not going to take advice from her when it comes to choosing the candidate best able to repeal Obama’s evil and destructive legacy.
If they continue their attacks and lack of support for Trump - I think it will eventually take its toll and we’ll be stuck with God knows who and another mess. The fact that these morons stand up and cheer when Obama says “saying the economy is poor is peddling fiction”....
...
The economy is doing great if you’re a member of the Washington cartel or a crony.
The richest counties in the country surround Washington DC.
I thought it was a commercial for Crest White Strips.
