I'm not going to agonize over this. The U.N. is a good place to dump a double-minority to quell the "diversity" freaks in both parties and the media.

She will be kept on a short leash....and I see no overwhelming danger here.

While she's not my cup of tea in any way, I think this was a good chess move by Mr. Trump and his advisors.

Secretary of State is what is really a matter of concern to me.

You know what’s really interesting: Haley took the job. So much for her principles, eh?

[prairiebreeze]

The ultimate goal may well have been to have S.C’s Lt. Gov. promoted. Throw Nicki into a relatively neutral position and elevate her successor.

Check-mate.

There is one way Nikki Haley is perfect for the UN.

The UN is a muslim dominated institution and Haley is a woman, was raised in a Sikh household, and, as governor was anti-BDS/pro-Israel.

She is a thumb in the eye to muslim hardliners in the UN.

Best bet would be to send Bolton back to UN, he knows the scandals there better than anyone and not afraid either. And ONLY Rudy for SoS. Romney should be tied down somewhere on the pastures with NO say. He should NOT receive any forgiveness at all !!!

I agree, that’s exactly what the transition team is doing — dumping her where she really can do no harm, because she won’t be making any decisions on her own.

[nikos1121]

I agree with you. She should be ashamed of herself, along with the one in New Mexico? who wouldn’t come out for Trump when he was in the state.

SOS. You pick the best person for the job. I think Trump might be seriously considering Mitt. I’m not real hot on Rudy for the job. Newt would be better here to reorganize the federal gov’t.

Rudy, best in a place that deals with home security.

I will accept whomever is chosen as I don’t think Trump is picking people politically, he’s picking the best person for the job.

I don't quite understand why an up-and-comer would relinquish a governorship to descend to the third basement: Ambassador to the United Nations. As for The Donald: I am rather hoping he will consider defunding that Marxit / Islamic organization. It is sort of like welfare, food stamps and Social Security for illegal aliens.

[danamco]

Two words: ONLY Rudy!!!

[RitaOK]

Not certain Haley as a UN Ambassador is a sure fire recipe for success, but the R Establishment loved her. And some perfunctory kumbiya seems to be guiding the day on some of these painful considerations and appointments.

I remind myself, however, none could be worse than the last eight years filled with anti-American hordes in high places.
