Since this week’s surprise announcement that Nikki Haley would depart by year’s end, everyone wants to know who’ll replace America’s UN ambassador — who was first dismissed, then hated, then feared and eventually appreciated, heck, even loved (at least by some).
The answer, obviously, is up to the never-predictable President Trump, so most names bandied about are speculative, with many driven by wishful thinking. So here’s a wish: Christopher Burnham. Never heard of him? You may soon.
Sure, there are other worthy candidates; Washington reporters come up with new ones daily. The much-advertised front-runner, former Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell, made clear Thursday she’d rather remain at Goldman Sachs.
Trump said another front-runner, Richard Grenell, is doing a good job as ambassador to Germany, where he seems happy for now.

It’s the New York Post, the opposite of the Times.
A)RINO Never Trumper
B)That's like asking a Former General to be a Colonel again, makes no sense.
I'd sooner give it to Kayne. 😝 😝 😝
If we’re gonna make suggestions like come from the hindquarters like Condi or the former RINO Treasurer of Connecticut (WTF?) then how about we go whole hog and give it to Mr. Hanky?
Poor Mr. Hankey got banished to Springfield.
I’d say Sarah Palin.
That would REALLY make the Leftardniks heads explode.
But being as how the Leftardniks heads are so far up their own asses, the explosions would be contained... which would also be funny as Hell to see, as “the sh*t hits the fan”...
