Go away, Nikki.

“her successful handling of the removal of the Confederate flag”

led to my successful handling of the removal of her for consideration of any office.

[Empire View]

You really think so? There was not much of a reaction. From what I can tell, most Republicans in SC have given up on their heritage and embrace corporate globalism. These people re-elected Lindsey Graham for crying out loud.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hey, easy there, the dog catchers at least earn their paycheck.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Good point.

[GeronL]

She has been pissing off conservatives lately, so of course the media touts her for VP

[60Gunner]

"Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina is generating buzz that she’d be in the mix for the Republican vice presidential spot in 2016, following her successful handling of the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds..."

Yep. What this country needs is another PC quisling. Run, Nikki, run!

[Original Lurker]

Nikki, your 15 minutes are over. It’s time to move on.
You showed your ass with the flag and savage immigrants.

Perhaps you can find employment with lobbying for out-source firms.

Why don’t you work on that “untouchable/caste” thing in India.
America , grossly, worked through its issues of that nature in terms of legal representation a generation ago.

(Yes, I understand Goldman Sachs / JP Morgan Chase, etc, etc, etc (and many northeastern/great lakes firms) still hold cards that hearken to back to current Indian culture/politics)

Nikki Haley was among the fist to criticize Trump for his conservative stand on illegal aliens.
She wasn't raised to respect our history or love this country. She actually blames the church murders on a battle flag - that is crazy. I am sure there are plenty of skeletons in her closet. She obviously is unfit for VP.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Dream on Nicki. Trump is not interested. Kiss our grits.

[RitaOK]

I think the USA has a testosterone gap at the top of our government, already. The girls have been running the State Department. Look how that turned out. And, Valerie and Mooshell are loose in the Executive.

Haley needs to stay home and manage her house or something, for awhile.

[Mariner]

"Whoever would take her on as VP is toast."

That would be Jeb Bush.

[4everontheRight]

No, the conservatives don’t reelect Graham, the Dems do.....SC has open primaries. The Dems never even run their own candidates against Graham. They have the best Dem already on office.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nikki is a Willardbot.

[Lopeover]

A cold day in H E double hockey sticks!

[Captain Peter Blood]

At one time I thought highly of her now I don’t. She’s too PC and no Guts. Sorry Nikki can’t support any ticket you are on.

[biff]

She does have a capital E after her party affiliation doesn’t she.

[Timber Rattler]

The most worthless governor in the country. She can forget about it.

[Jane Austen]

Democrats would have a field day with the scandal allegations against Nikki. She is a sneaky one, pretending to be a Christian while touching the feet of the head of the Sikh temple and asking for his blessing.

One image that remains in my memory is her gloating, smirking face after her order to remove the rebel flag. Such schadenfreude! She was ecstatic for having done it, contrary to what she had promised while running for office.

Then Nikki thought she had a winner in jumping on the anti-Trump bandwagon. But that got derailed. She is disgusting.

Nikki Haley got the Tea Party cred by having Erick Erickson and Palin campaign for her. Also Mark Sanford’s campaign team backed her as well. Haley does have a relationship with Romney going back in 2008, when she endorsed him. Should Romney decide to run again, I think Romney may pick Haley as his Veep.
