I do not dislike Nikki Haley in any way.
But ... With these comments she has very likely ruled herself out from holding public office ever again. She knew Kristen Welker would be trapping her with this line of questioning and she was 100% unprepared. Even if what she actually said reflects how she actually feels, she had to have known not to say it. This is wildly inept.
She’s down 30 points in SC polls coming into today. She now looks to lose her home state by 60 points, plus or minus. This will take the idea of humiliation to all new levels. If she wants to salvage some small hope of a political future, she would do well to withdraw mid-week this week and endorse Trump without conditions or reservations.
Again, I don’t dislike her and for this reason I hope she cuts her losses so as to have hope to live to see another day.
Come up for air.
Southerners think of “home states” because home and states are important.
Mrs. Haley is not a southerner. South Carolina was simply a place to park until she could move-up to something bigger and better. Reminds me of Mrs. Clinton's home state of Arkansas.
