She knows he’s going to be reelected which is why she’s saying these things. Otherwise, she’d either keep quiet or be dissing him. I
Shes a politician. What is she running for now?
Savannah Guthrie, member of the Democrat Party Press (not a real journalist)
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.
