Nikki Haley: Principled conservative or establishment sell-out?
The Hill ^ | 3/30/23 | JUSTIN HASKINS AND CHRIS TALGO

Posted on 03/30/2023 9:57:50 AM PDT by cotton1706

Is Nikki Haley a true conservative, an establishment politician or something else entirely?

That’s the question many conservatives have been asking since Haley officially announced she is running for president in February. Haley served as governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Trump.

We can’t recall another Republican politician who has garnered such a mixed response from conservatives. Almost everyone in the conservative media and public policy world seems to have an opinion about Haley. But once pressed to explain the reasons behind those opinions, very few seem prepared to provide a detailed answer. And most of those we spoke with seemed willing to quickly change their minds.

Fortunately, conservatives don’t have to guess when it comes Haley. She has a long track record as governor of South Carolina. And since leaving her post as UN ambassador, she has developed a policy platform for her presidential campaign and made numerous statements on pressing issues that provide a clear look at how she would likely govern if she were to be elected president in 2024.

We have reviewed Haley’s domestic record and believe she is a champion of policies that limit the size of government (especially the federal government), cut taxes, reject socialism and promote individual liberty. The following is a summary of our findings, broken down by category.

Multi-author piece trying to sell Republicans that Nikki McRomBush would be a good choice for president.

But we already have our candidate. And we're not falling for a McRomBush again.

Chameleon. Sycophant.

I wouldn’t trust her or vote for her.

She did do a good job as UN Ambassador.

She presented the Maga worldview at that time.

How many GOP candidates did she endorse in 2016 before she ran out of never-Trump options?

Always saw her as a weasel. Pushed by the RINOs into Trump’s cabinet as a “ woman of color”

She was nothing but embarrassing at the UN, reading speeches written by Jonah Goldberg’s wife, and engaging in mean girl behavior vs Russian diplomats instead of statesmanship.

She’s probably running now for VP of..whoever.

How about non-eligible anchor baby of two Indian nationals? I’ll vote for a Democrat before I would ever vote for her.

Just asking.”

Personally, I don’t need DT to tell me that. I can see it for myself that she’s a phony. And others like me have seen the same.

Anytime some trans Republican uses the phrase ‘principled conservative’, they are deceivers and the truth is not in them…. ‘Principled conservative’ are code words that actually means the user is intending to use public office to enlarge their own personal principal.

If Nikki Haley is a true conservative, she should be supporting Trump’s policies. Anything different, she is not a conservative.

Don’t think the RINO’s figured this out yet.
