South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley: Anyone but Donald Trump
CNN ^ | 02/17/2016 | By Daniella Diaz

Posted on 02/17/2016 1:15:48 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Nikki Haley is not a fan of Donald Trump.

The Republican South Carolina governor said Tuesday that she's not sure if she'll endorse anyone for president ahead of the Republican South Carolina primary, but if she does, it won't be Trump, according to CNN affiliate WIS Television in Columbia.

She said Trump represents "everything a governor doesn't want in a president."

"I want someone who is going to hold Republicans accountable, and I want someone who is going to make a difference, not just for our party but for every person they represent in the country," she told reporters, just days ahead of the South Carolina GOP primary on Saturday.

This is not the first time Haley has taken a swipe at Trump. In her State of the Union response earlier this year, she shared her family's immigrant experience while warning against rhetoric that would threaten "the dream that is America" for others.

"During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices," Haley said from the governor's residence in Columbia. "We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country."

“”I want someone who is going to hold Republicans accountable, and I want someone who is going to make a difference, not just for our party but for every person they represent in the country,””


Well, dummy, you just described Trump.

I guess the actual people who actually make up the party disagree with her assessment. Trumpnado arrives Saturday.

It’s odd. Haven’t we reached a point in this country when an orange-colored billionaire can be president? So much for progress, eh?

If Haley doesn’t like someone, that’s a good start.

Yeah, if they “abide by our laws” as she put it they shouldn’t feel unwelcome. Trump has been just as surrounded by immigrants and foreigners in his life as Haley has.

Voting for Trump would be like voting for a Liberal Democrat. He has supported many Democrats in funding their elections. And as far as support Veterans, you only need to read the following:

“Trump has a long history of controversial, even anti-veteran stances, despite his current claim that he’d be good for veterans if elected president. In the ’80s, Trump tried to throw disabled vet street vendors off Fifth Avenue, accusing them of essentially being a blight on the aesthetics of the street. Before his presidential campaign, Trump’s charitable foundation gave more to the Clintons than to Veterans organizations. Plus, famously, Trump said Sen. John McCain’s time in a prisoner of war camp didn’t make him a hero: “I like people who weren’t captured.”
