I agree with you on Haley’s accent. He is qualified, smarter than hell, lots of experience.
His accent is charming to many....to others...not so much.
He would be unfairly dubbed a redneck.
It is what it is.
re: Haley’s accent......Carter was elected, wasn’t he? And LBJ ? I’ll bet you could sweep the south from Arizona to Florida, except for New Mex. I think Haley’s accent reeks of good ol’ downhome common sense, and I’m not from the south.
