Nicki Halley will go down as one of the villains when all has been said and done. In her tell all

book it appears she paints herself as the “good” soldier, but I think when all is said and done, the only ones that will admire her position will be the racists, bigots, and sexists

and her loyalty will not be well received by plurality of the public

So it was only a “light” demand, Haley?

She is another republican hack.

If the passengers voted for Trump to fly the plane, should we step in when it’s obvious he is incompetent? I think so.

the unabashed shameless parasitic clingons left are jockying for position. She can say, see, I didn't slam Big Daddy but I did stand up to him and he likes and respects strong women.

And, the KGOP women that want to save a little face post Trump train wreck dynasty, have a place to muster and fix their make-up.

And so anything she says or does is ok.

It’s like Maria Bartiromo, she wears plunging necklines and has buttons where her nipples are and she could speak in tongues and none of the viewers would notice.
Male and Female RWers are entranced by these people.

45's reign is like a daily reality show. If only all our lives didn't depend on this corrupt, dysfunctional administration, it might be humorous.

She is nothing but another scumbag grifter. Always has been. Hopefully, enough of the people who have been getting conned by her will finally realize it after seeing this, and send her to the dust bin of history where she belongs. Personally, I won't be happy until she's marched off in orange jump suit with the rest of them.

The likelihood of 45 throwing him under the Ukraine bus and tapping Haley as 2020 running mate just went up exponentially.

These TV interviews are for an audience of one. They look like a VP audition. She’s demonstrating fealty to 45 by publicly naming and shaming Kelly and Tillerson - a language he understands. Stoking his paranoia while telegraphing that “she is one of the few who can be trusted”.

And, does anyone have ANY doubt who 45 would rather travel the campaign trail with? Plus, 45 will see it as a politically savvy move to counter claims of racism and shore up his diminishing support among suburban women.

Haley is stepping forward to present herself as a uniquely palatable solution to the current crisis and the mutual distaste of 45 and the GOP. And, whaddayaknow, she’ll be one heartbeat, impeachment, or resignation away from a step up to Madame President.

First, she's a woman, and a woman of color.

Second, I'm sure that there are more than a few racists who are still taking issue with her pulling down those statues.

were "just following orders." So she's proud of her decision to reject protecting our democracy in order to prop up a dictator wannabe. Well, I would expect no different from the likes of her. After all, she failed to protect the most vulnerable of the citizens she took an oath to represent by denying Medicaid expansion. She's eviler than the rest because she's smart and made a conscious choice to back the thing who is destroying our country every day that he's infesting the White House. She is the worst of the worst.

She clearly joined the White House just to have national experience to run in 2024. She had no other agenda.

...is they always like to site when she took down the confederate flag.

that, my friends, is a no fucking brainer. don't give her props for doing the right thing that should have been done decades ago.

but more over, she didn't do it for the right reasons, she did it because it was politically good for her to do it. no other reason.

at the end of the day, she's an ambitious gadfly that will do anything and everything to maintain her bullshit image of the "tough right wing woman" when in fact, she's nothing more than a political opportunist with less than an ounce of brains to call her own.
