Vapid much?
Would love to see how you’d handle this without Trump’s
efforts Nikki.
You’d be flat on your ass on day two.
The federal government is doing everything in it’s power to
back you up, and here you are telling everyone you’re in
charge.
Who is providing funding for citizens, small business, and
corporations in your state?
I don’t doubt these are trying times for you, but please
use that head God gave you.
Ms Haley is correct.
To make sweeping decisions that effect one’s entire state requires confidence and courage. Some Governors are somewhat deficient of that kind of confidence at the beginning of a pandemic.
They would prefer the president make big decisions in the beginning and protect their own reputations while being an “outraged” Armchair Quarterback at Halftime.
She is correct.
Having sat in a Governor’s seat, she know well of which she speaks.
10th Amendment and all that
Too many current governors are of the Blanco/Nagin mindset of “fedgov must do my job for me”.
I get a kick out of you folks saying she’s right.
Yep, she’s right and has no money at all to address the
issues that face her constituents right now.
While I’m not comfortable with the bail-out Trump has
signed, where do you folks think her state would be if
he hadn’t signed it?
She has options today to address the problems in her state
that she would NEVER have had without the federal government
standing behind her with all sorts of programs she can
pass on to her state’s people.
So yes, sure we can look at states rights and support the
idea she’s trying to convey, but in terms of this situation
she hasn’t a single prayer other than prayer to react to
what is happening in her state and the 49 others plus the
District of Colombia right now.
President Trump and Nikki Haley very obviously understand the concept of FEDERALISM. It’s also very obvious that far too many in this country do not. Including, some on this site.
The Governors of your states are the effective equivalent of the President of your state. With the requisite responsibility for the care of your state.
The Feds responsibility in the case of a natural disaster is simply to lend support. It is not to be totally responsible for your state in place of your state gov’t.
If you vote for ineptness in your state you live with the ineptness you voted for. Period. End of discussion.
The President has no responsibility for your votes/decisions as to who you chose to put into office in your state. You must accept and live with it.
If you now realize you F’d up well, do something about it!
She is trying to create a bond with the GOP base with an eye toward the future. Not going to help.

If the response is primarily the responsibility of the governors then how can Trump talk about reopening the country? Isn’t that up to the governors too?
This crisis has brought out the very worst in a lot of governors and put this trait on display, front and center. They revel in their issuance of executive orders, quarantines, curfews, etc., but take no responsibility for any of their failures, inaction and mismanagement of situations and events.
Having been an Army officer, I have seen the rare bad apple that just wants to be an officer in order to wear rank and issue orders, paying little heed to their duty to care for, motivate, inspire and lead their soldiers. In my day, such officers were there, but were generally readily identified and shunned and they were generally in the minority. It seems those personality types have gravitated toward politics where it is far easier to lie their way out of accountability.
She is correct. Doing things from the federal level means a “one size fits all” approach. The governors are all facing different situations and they are best positioned to ask for the required resources from the feds as necessary.
