18. Since her political inception, Nikki has exhibited a talent for consistency.

She can simultaneously say and not say whatever she believes to be the most expedient means to propagate her career. That is her will and her way. I've always wondered who or what has/is supporting her efforts and thought the nature of that support is nefarious, essentially lawless. I anticipate many will be stunned by how calculated and Byzantine the effort (plot) to embed her into Washington politics, even the White house.
