Once upon a time, Nikki Haley was the darling of FR. Many loved her and wrote like she was the MAGA equivalent to Trump.
I didn’t buy it. In general women are too equivocal to be relied upon for a powerful office. Too many examples, but Haley herself is a good one.

Agree, an in fact it’s hard to think of many women that manage to hold it together at high levels of power, including many that were MAGA, or MAGA-Lite, before there was even MAGA. Then they hit menopause and morph into Trump-hating monsters, such as Liz Cheney, who, believe it or not had pretty much been MAGA most of her time in the House.
I worked on a lot of campaigns and one common theme was that big donors could cause big trouble.
They want their way or the highway—and they seem to pick the most awful issues and cram them down the candidates throat.
Then the candidate gets crushed because the voters hate the new message—and are really angry that the politician started fighting for the other team.
That is exactly what happened to Nicki.
There is no coming back from it—fatal error.
Bye bye.

Totally agree. And not only they can’t be relied as leader, but also at PICKING leaders. Far too easily swayed by emotions - it’s in their nature. The 19th amendment wasn’t such a good idea.
The Margaret Thatchers are few and far between.
