Haley has a book out, and likely with some details about what occurred in the White House. You want the substance, it’s probably in the book.

Yet, her simple statement was probably enough for most FReepers, since we’ve known all along about the never-Trumpers and about the inside traitors.

Haley was one of the reasons they’re gone. She told Trump and he moved them on out, politely, but he got rid of them.

He made a lot of bad choices, because I think he believed his business experience would prepare him for dealing with a new staff, subordinates, etc. but it didn’t, because businesses are governed by law, but the federal government establishment thinks itself above the law. Or actually, it thinks is the law.

She did good work for Trump. You can disagree with her on some things, but she was probably one of Trump’s most loyal supporters, not necessarily because she liked him personally (although I don’t think she disliked him) but because she believed in and understood his policies. She was very pro-business in SC and hauled the state out of the dumps.

Huh? Look around and you’ll see that there’s a virtually squadron of FReepers who come out to attack any GOPer who supports Trump. I think some are probably Dem trolls, trying to undercut Trump’s support by attempting to discredit any GOP figure who supports him, and they know FR is the best place to do it.

On the other hand, there are many posters on FR who have a my way or the highway approach, and if somebody disagrees with them on one single point, that person then becomes bad, evil, and everything that person says on any topic is worthless.

Trump needs supporters. For heaven’s sake, don’t shoot down anybody trying to support him.

I posted hours ago that I like Haley a lot a lot a lot a lot.

I’ve closely tracked the comments that have come since. Regarding her being an opportunist:

1) Coming in as UN Ambassador, I suspect (based on reasonable evidence in the public record) that she had strong differences with the President, which she squelched in order to secure the job. She went along even though she disagreed. Call that opportunism if you want but I think it’s rigor, class, understanding chain of command and being a valued member of the team.

2) Over time, it became clear that her outlook on foreign policy grew ever closer to the President’s positions, because her rhetoric and tone both became more emphatic and emboldened. And as a few others have pointed out, when she left it was with the President’s high praise and clear affection. If she runs for President in 2024, of course she will chart a different course than President Trump; just not all that much different.

The mainstream media and Never Trumpers do not realize the extent to which Donald Trump has forever changed the conversation. There is no going back. Nikki Haley is a perfect example of that. Whatever she was in 2014, she is a convert by this day and going forward.

You’re in denial. Haley is GOP establishment all the way. What is going on here is the GOPe is trying to co-opt the MAGA movement in exactly the same way they did the TEA Party.

I don’t care about her other opinions. She supports Trump, support her on this. Don’t try to shut her down and discourage other Freepers from supporting her. Trump needs all the friends he can get. And he appears to have liked her and she left on good terms with him.

It’s just not good enough. The GOP establishment is now paying a lip service defense of POTUS instead of engaging the coup. Where was Haley when Don Jr. was tweeting “whereslindsay” and POTUS was saying “Republicans need to start fighting” last week? MIA in these historic times is where she was. Haley is trolling for books sales and potential MAGA voters. That is all.
