(13,913 posts)know she is extremely ambitious & opportunistic. You really have problems when you hitch your wagon to the 45 shitshow. Yet she continually plays the tonedeaf, straightlace suit-wearing politician like Pence, completely quiet on the relentless assault of democracy by this dangerous man. I don't know what she thinks she can get from appearing at the Idiot's CONvention at this point, and i hope sensible Americans can see thru her hypocrisy. She's never impressed me and has only reinforced my regard for her as an opportunistic hypocrit.

(21,615 posts)However, since shes a Republican, shes willing to do or say (or NOT say) whatever it takes to gain positions of power and influence.

(13,913 posts)Black heritage from her father's side. Democrats revel in diversity given we recognize the value of diversity. Republicans focus on their white nationalist interests, which is all the more puzzling to me Haley is with that party. Who knows, she may not be proud of her ethnicity is all i can say, which is a damn shame.
Anywaze, she certainly does not impress me in any way. I think like 45 her opportunistic prowess got her to where she is - a rise in a party of nonsensical values and whatever trappings that comes with it. Maybe she may get a book deal or whatever out of her gig with the Conman, but history definitely won't remember her kindly.

Well, Thats what the stupid Republicans would say if she were a Democrat.
