This is pretty strong evidence that Nikki Haley was the op Ed writer

[scheming daemons]

I think that is abundantly clear today, and she has finally had enough.

Did the Brett Kavanaugh thing finally push her over the edge? Is she a survivor of sexual assault herself?

1. They're deplorables

The only modus operandi for every one of them is greed, power, hatred of minorities, and self preservation.

[Bfd]

2. Naa. Its optics to regain the pissed off women voters when she runs for Pres/2020

Gad how I despise them all.

I want a better world

[PA Democrat]

3. My cynical nature says no.

IMHO, there was more than enough to push a person with morals over the edge long ago.

5. Who knows with this lot

I think you might be reading way too much into this.

Maybe Bolton pushed her out. She pushed the twitler's policies with gusto.

Do not trust a Russiapublican politician ever much less a trumper.

6. Many may disagree with me ..

Her departure is a big blow to Trump's GOP.

[Haynx]

7. Possible

But remember there may be more than one person upset at Trump and Republicans circles.

8. Nikki Haley is a strong willed woman!

If she was sexually assaulted, she would not hesitate to file a complaint with law enforcement, immediately. She was once thrown out of a beauty contest in the south because she is not considered "white". That made her mentally stronger, and more determined to succeed and eventually was elected governor in a southern state (SC).

9. When I challenge the president, I do it directly. My anonymous colleague should have, too.

We have enough issues to deal with in the world, so it’s unfortunate to have to take time to write this, but I feel compelled to address the claims in the anonymous “resistance” op-ed published this week in the New York Times. The author might think he or she is doing a service to the country. I strongly disagree. What this “senior official in the Trump administration” has done, and is apparently intent on continuing to do, is a serious disservice — not just to the president but to the country.

I, too, am a senior Trump administration official. I proudly serve in this administration, and I enthusiastically support most of its decisions and the direction it is taking the country. But I don’t agree with the president on everything. When there is disagreement, there is a right way and a wrong way to address it. I pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person.

Like my colleagues in the Cabinet and on the National Security Council, I have very open access to the president. He does not shut out his advisers, and he does not demand that everyone agree with him. I can talk to him most any time, and I frequently do. If I disagree with something and believe it is important enough to raise with the president, I do it. And he listens. Sometimes he changes course, sometimes he doesn’t. That’s the way the system should work. And the American people should be comfortable knowing that’s the way the system does work in this administration.

10. I wouldn't give her any credit.

[MaryMagdaline]

11. Maybe UN laughing at 45 was last straw

[delisen]

12. I think the Trump party does not want women in power positions anyway

She may be replaced by a more fitting, more obnoxious trash talker.

Trump would have blamed his being laughed at as caused by the UN not being sufficiently scared of the US.

[Autumn]

13. No it's not. She's a Trump supporter through and through, will support him in 2020

and then she runs for President on his and his Republicans "victories" in 2024.

[UTUSN]

14. All she was used for was to give SHITLER a *shred* of respectability

Which brings the question: Is somebody who is willing to sell out really that respectable?!1
