Isn’t this Jonah Goldberg a never Trumper?
“She is almost certainly the most popular politician in America.”
Fairly decent trick considering, outside of South Carolina, no one knows who she is.
Goldberg is a NeverTrumper like she was during the primaries, a sentiment that will be re-activated at any moment. But he did not add that in his full disclosure.
[She is almost certainly the most popular politician in America. ]
Yeah, right. Sounds like the GOPe is selling something.
Despite Goldberg’s turdishness, her timing is good in another sense: who wants to be our representative to an entity that we are going to downgrade and deprecate more and more?
It’s time for a real hardass for this job, to manage the next phase of the beating we’re going to give the UN.
for those who resent her because she was anti-Trump, Trump himself praised her more than on everyone else who has left the Administration combined. He gave her a royal sendoff from the White House, and she strongly endorsed him.
If he managed to turn a pseudo-enemy into an ally, isn't that someone we should welcome?
Jonah seems to be trying to mold it as something that makes sense to him - and may have some truths/half-truths tied in but he oversimplifies because he doesn’t want to dive into areas/possibilities he can’t digest w/o getting serious heartburn...since Trump claims he knew about it for about 6 months, he must have influenced the timing and the way the message was put out....what does Jonah think about that which he purposely ignored to fantasize about Haley replacing him?
Nimrata is the most overrated carpetbagger in American history. Her rigid, rictus smile at her resignation announcement tells a story behind the story.
The fact that Democrats like her is all the proof I need that I am right in not being able to stand her. Shes a classic RINO I could never have voted for. Thank goodness shes gone. Stay in private life Nikki.
Its never a big risk to be the UN Ambassador. You get to shoot your mouth off to support whatever policy is popular with your base and have zero consequences.
Trump hiring her should show Goldberg that Trump selects people who he feels are right for the job.
But JB can’t recist taking cheap shots at Trump.
All of which make JB, and not Trump, come across as a petty light weight.
More 3-D chess by Trump
He removes a sitting RINO-ish Gov and replacing her with Henry Dargan McMaster is a member of the Republican Party.

What is Haley wearing around her neck?
I can’t get it big enough and clear enough to tell. Looks like either a palm tree with a crescent moon, or a Dr. Seuss “Who”.
Who cares?
Goldberg’s wife, Jessica Gavora, works for Haley as her speechwriter, so this slop is a conflicted POS authored by a despicable Never Trumper.
...she did it in a way that differentiated herself from Trump and his sycophants without seeming disloyal or mealy-mouthed.
I despise this jerk.
In the grand scheme of things, the move of U.N. Secretary Nikki Haley to resign is a typical move of a professional politician on the establishment side of the GOPe political continuum.
Ms. Haley comes from the political house of Bush; hence the original Rubio support in 2016 etc. She is a political animal from the establishment wing.
Within the traditional political class the customary approach to a White House run is to gain about five years of wealth in advance of a presidential run. Haley would be following a wealth process for a 2024 presidential run.
During this wealth accumulation period the cocktail party circuit (the billionaire crowd) will front-load wealth, purchase homes and all expenses etc, for the future candidate. This ‘Five Year Plan‘ was the same historic approach done for Ronald Reagan.
With a candidate in the private sector, the professional donor-class make investments in the candidate while it is legal to do so. The investments are made in anticipation of future influence. This is simply how money influences politics.
With the “Me Too” movement in high political value, the currency of Nikki Haley, as an investment candidate, is at the apex. Haley checks the right boxes; she is making a predictable move to capitalize on that process, politics and timeliness.
The U.N., as an institution, is also in alignment with the high-brow Prescott Bush clan. Ms. Nikki Haley is regarded by this clan as a very valuable commodity. If they can’t get Jeb, or another Bush (ie. Rubio) over the finish line, they will be much better positioned with investments in Nikki Haley.
It goes without saying the U.N. is not MAGA. In many ways the interests of the U.N. run counter to the more nationalistic MAGA movement. Hence, it was smart for President Trump to put a non-MAGA ambassador into the U.N. while simultaneously, and smartly, using the position to keep the globalists from attacking MAGA policy.
It was a strategic move when it was done and the benefits have been visible.
Moving forward, despite the success of President Trump in taking over the Republican party, the political apparatus still has factions (ie. Never Trump etc.). Those GOPe types will back Nikki Haley in 2024 as they did Jeb in 2016. The outlooks are same/same. This is all entirely predictable.
Due to the increasing success of the MAGA or Trump Republican apparatus, Haley will need to carefully position herself as a stealth Decepticon and not upset the vulgarian hordes; ie. the new republican party base voter. As a smart and tactical politician Haley will invest heavily in the optics of supporting the MAGA movement; and embrace President Trump to avoid any conflict.
Much like the primary of 2016 (w/ Jeb), the primary race of 2024 will determine if Haley can con enough people into not seeing her elitist Decepticon position.
The Bush clan and professional political cocktail circuit was rebuked in 2016, so we can anticipate their strategy in 2024 will be with those strategic lessons at the forefront.
/End.
Nikki Haley isn’t natural born, is she?
I’ve always thought she would be Pence’s VP, then, first female POTUS.
Fredo Goldberg.
> voters repulsed by Trump.
I thought they said illegals don’t vote
