Barf. Trump’s been listening to Mitt!

Nikki was a GOPe RINO big-time. I donated to her campaign as a Tea Party candidate, and she has been a yuge disappointment.

Well keep your friends close and your enemies closer

She was a big Trump basher but now the takes her out of any power to really attack

Bottom line she now serves at Trump she can’t go back to being governor and this put in power a Trump Ally as governor.

We may see Trump.is co-opting his biggest enemies inside the GOP... put them inside the administration in positions where

they have to tow his line and it not on the outside organizing attacks on him

Ambassador post are great way to get people out of the way that you want to get out of the way

Yikes

It's brilliant. The article states that the LtGov is a Trump ally. This keeps her out of elective politics without insulting her supporters.

This is a terrible mistake. Nimrata "Nikki" Haley is somebody I hoped would never earn a salary for taxpayer money. There are numerous better choices. She is far too flawed.

1. Nimrata has nothing but contempt for our history as she revealed in her treatment of the battle flag, which she blamed for the Church murders. I can still see her smirking and about removing it.
2. She welcomed Syrian refugees, wants more of them.
3. Her selfishness, cowardice, and/or lack of leadership was shown during the epic flood in her state when she fled to Georgia IIRC, something that was not reported by MSM until days later and then it was "old news."

4. She has been in numerous scandals, and she is stupid. For example, her response to Obama's State of the Union address was inappropriate, more like that of a Democrat than somebody representing GOP.

These are just some of her many negatives.

I've detested Haley ever since she sided with the PC Left to take down the Confederate Flag from the SC state capital, and then went on to side with the multiculturalists again on refugees and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Haley will no doubt try to use her ambassadorship to the UN as a bully pulpit to promote the admission of more Middle Eastern refugees to the US and to push for liberalized immigration laws generally. I'm frankly surprised and disappointed that Trump picked her.

Trump is raiding all our great people from offices that they hold and we need to hold on too. I love Jeff Sessions being the AG. BUT, then my state loses it strongest voice in the Senate and conservatives lose a strong voice in the Senate. I just hate it that that it takes away from all our voices in other places.
