When, in November 2016, Nikki Haley was nominated U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Professor Charles Tiefer of the University of Baltimore reacted with outrage.
"No one in the United Nations," Tiefer said, "will think that Haley is someone to talk to who will be either knowledgeable or close to the president."
Tiefer must feel a bit stupid right now.

Bolton played the tune he was given by Dubya, same as any ambassador worth the salt.
Nikki Haley is doing an excellent job so far, far better than I had thought she would. But unfortunately the author wants to praise her while ignoring Trump. Haley isn’t doing anything the President doesn’t want her to do. She, the military, and Secretaries Ross and Tillerson, are working this together with Trump leading.
This is Nikki ‘Everybody knows that Russia meddled in our elections’ Haley? Nikki ‘President Trump believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of that equation’ Haley? Nikki ‘I endorse Marco Rubio’ Haley?
She may well be doing a good job asserting herself in the conversations at the UN, but I remain dubious that she is doing so in full-throated advocacy of President Trump’s agenda and not her own.

Right you are. Jean kicked ass.
Moynihan would be run out of the Dem party these days
Yes wonderful. How great to have so many boots in that quagmire and many more to come.
Ah, Jean Kirkpatrick. She was peerless, for sure.
Since 1967, Nikki Haley is the best...got it.
Elegantly stated, 2DV!
True. It is the Trump agenda that she is speaking and they are listening to him. She is pretty aggressive though. A good fit so far.

This was a good team win by the Trump administration. The only people not on the team was of course congress. How hard to you think it was to get Russia to vote yes even after our showboating weasels in congress put sanctions on them?
Thank you for bringing Kirkpatrick into the conversation. I had to find out more about her and her quotes are better than those from Mattis IMHO. Especially this one:
“A doctrine of class war seemed to provide a solution to the problem of poverty to people who know nothing about how wealth is created.”
Nimrata Randhawa (aka: Nikki Haley) is NOT a natural born Citizen.
Both her parents were foreign nationals at the time of her birth.
She is a part of Team Trump. The Trump team is currently be credited with an economic-triangulation that pits cheap US Oil against the Russian economy and the threat of having mega corporations like Walmart rethink imports, or slowing imports from China - which in turn allow us to influence China on N.Korea and Russia on both Syria/Iran. She is set up for success because Trump’s grasp of global economics, or that of his TEAM, is recalibrating foreign policy on multiple levels.<PIf the US wants to hurt China we can stop exports of US Rice, while only 7% max of the world’s production makes up for the world’s shortfall that is otherwise about 5% in terms of feeding the world. Cut the rice, flood the oil, slow the imports - all the while socialism is dying worldwide. MAGA is a team effort.
As much as I dislike the UN, it’s here to stay. And she’s doing a great job.
Can we say President Haley (once Trump has done what he wants to do)?
No, we can’t sat that.
She should’ve been our first woman President, back in 1989.
Alas, he got corrupted in the Senate, and the man he defeated in 1976, Jim Buckley, was a far better Senator.
