it will be Nikki Haley -- who in 2014 won re-election to the S.C. Governorship with 56% of the vote.
And if we have nominated a couple of white guys, whoever they may be, we have a good chance of losing -- and a generation of young women may have cast their first vote for a Republican for President.
Despite what most DUers think of Haley and her positions, most VOTERS don't know or care. She comes across as a nice person. And, for bonus points, she'd be the first Indian American. As to qualifications, she's been a Governor of a red state (satisfying the base) and an Ambassador, and she managed to escape the DT administration unscathed.
She is going to be a powerful adversary and she could single-handedly reverse the GOP's "women problem." The GOP could become the first party to ever put a woman in the Presidency.
Unless we figure out how to stop her. And it won't be with a couple of progressive white men, no matter how perfect their policies are.
