Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued stunning remarks breaking with former President Trump, telling Politico in an interview published Friday that she believes he “let us down.”

“We need to acknowledge he let us down,” Haley, who served in her ambassador role under Trump, said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Finally,....Haley reveals her true self!.......Vindictive!

[firebrand]

Not all.

[View from the Cheap Seats]

Trump knows who stood with him and who didn’t. His second and thrid terms will be so much more productive—imagine that!

[DoodleDawg]

Thus begins the doomed “Haley for President 2024” campaign.

Typical politician....CYA.

“Wow, what kind of pressure are they putting on people to make them betray...”

You must not have been paying attention to Nikki Haley over the years. No one had to pressure her to to finally admit out loud what she has always thought. However, she said the same thing about Trump when he campaigned for the nomination but hid it away to advance her career.

[Democrats hate too much]

Trump can trash her publicly now.

[Democrats hate too much]

Then who should we have “followed”? Jeb???

[Avalon Memories]

The bitch wants to run for president and she thinks she needs to distance herself from Trump in order to do it.

[Article10]

Well past time to repeal the 17th Amendment. It’s the foundation that uniparty is built on. People like this, this political weasel Nikki would never survive if the check and balance is put back on the Senate. The entire makeup of the current GOP and Democrat Party would be completely different.

She stood no chance of being President anyway

Final Thoughts on Nikki Haley…

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Sundance

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.

"...she has reverted to the high class elitism of her Brahman Indian ancestry"

Is Brahman considered the top of the caste system? If so, I work with several of them...uppity, condescending and holier-than-thou types directly from Bangalore. They treat their fellow Indians horribly at work.

FU Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley

[SecAmndmt]

Not a surprise.

She a big time neocon, more likely to be found spooning with Bill Kristol than agreeing with the MAGA movement.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They probably told her she had to do this to get GOP support to run for President.
