Why didn't Nikki Haley run to her boss-daddy and tell him villains were plotting against him

like a good little girl?

I'll confess to not having watched hardly any news over the last couple days, so perhaps this question has been asked and answered already. But what little I've seen on this topic seems to focus on the fact that little miss Haley is revealing the perfidy in Trump's inner circle and wagging her finger at their naughtiness, whilst still managing to hold the halo over her head with the other hand. She's still seen as a Trump loyalist.

If she was so loyal, why didn't she let Daddy know about the plots against him at the time?

It's been tough on her as far as her son, but we have decided, at our age, the best thing to do is cut ties with them. The woman is just plain deceitful and mean.

but haven't been keeping up with this story. Did she run to Trump or will he be pissed, and therefore vindictive, that she didn't? I keep hearing that Dirty Don will dump Pence and run with Haley in 2020, but we'll see...

I don't know. He does seem to admire cutthroats and vipers. "Killers"

But I can't imagine he admires that quality much when it reveals him as a hapless boob.

I mean didn't she just up and quit her job? That's what I remember and you know it's just to shield herself from being involved in Kashoggis death

A person was murdered and she can't handle the job anymore?

Either reason is enough to know she's not up to public service of any kind and is in fact a lying piece of dog droppings

I would love to hear her branded a quitter from now on, that and a liar

And one that I hope Trump asks himself. She must not have been so loyal after all.

And now she wants brownie points for telling on Tillerson and Kelly. She's so two-faced.

standard look of "concern" telling Trump, "Yes Mr. President, It's true Miss Haley does cut a fine figure but Mr. President, I just want you to know something . . . something very important. . . . If anyone were ever to come to me with plans against you . . . why sir I promise I would come to you straight away so that you could purge those negative forces away from you in a timely manner. I'm here for you Mr. President to help you watch your back, not write a book."

...and run for the office.

She's trying to appear as "on Rump's side"...and lets face it, those constituents don't think that hard. All they hear is , she supported Rump....thus getting their votes when the inevitable occurs.

of why someone supposedly so indignant wouldn't go straight to the boss and let him know what was going on. Unless of course, she agreed with the conspirators and believed they might succeed.

She wants the Trump base to know that she supported him so that when she runs they will support her. But she knows the Trump show is a shit show so she didn't want to get too much into the fray herself while she was in the administration to get her name too dirty. She's plotting and scheming her next move. This is all about her and her political career. Nothing to do with Trump.

This was all about her, trying to con his supporters for her possible future run, and to sell books. She's a liar and corrupt as the rest of them. Doing nothing and admitting it when it was brought to her shows how little she really cares about the rule of law, and her claiming bribing another country and extorting them with taxpayer funds is ok now. A disaster and a huge mistake on her part , and will come back to haunt her. She's desperately hoping she has a chance to take his position in the future, or move up soon when he resigns. trump doesn't trust her for good reasons.

She uses people only as long as they can advance her own aspirations. That includes Fat Nixon. She'll throw him under the bus when he's of no use to her, just like she does everyone else.
