Maybe.
Never thought I would vote for a McCain or DJT but did. Although I didn't hold my nose when I voted for the Don.

Didn't she bow down to the "let's take down the history monuments" crowd?

She is more qualified than a pile of cat poo. And I'd vote for a pile of cat poo over a Dem.

Nope. Not now for sure; once the 'confrontational' period is over...maybe. As long a Trump is at the helm, She's solid; but no Trump, and I suspect She'd waver per Her Natural inclinations. Think back on Her recent past, re caving to PC dogma.

Fuq no. She talks to much and Trump team rightly brought her down a few pegs last month. She's also a war monger in the mold of McCain.

Only if she was the GOP candidate. However, she is not on my wish list.

It was the Confederate Flag flying on the grounds of the state legislature. I don’t think it was as simple as her decision. I think she was a little more removed from it and let it play out however it was going to play out.

ETA:

A little more to it, but she let the legislature do its thing. It was in the wake of the Charleston shooting.
quote:

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley signed a bill that will bring down the Confederate flag on the statehouse grounds, less than a day after lawmakers in the state House of Representatives voted to remove it. Haley, a Republican, called for the flag’s removal last month in the wake of the shooting massacre inside a Charleston church. The bill cleared its final legislative hurdle early Thursday morning when the House voted 94 to 20 in favor of the proposal. After more than 13 hours of debate — which became increasingly contentious as the night wore on — House Republicans and Democrats agreed not to amend the legislation with a proposal that threatened to make final passage more difficult.

Have to agree with Cpt. Bengal on this one, she is bought and paid for by the est.. Hopefully Trump Jr. will run after trump because Mike Pence,Haley,Rubio,and Cruz are all establishment pawns just playing the game. I guess Rand Paul would be OK... I don't trust the dems or pubs both are on the same side....

She is WORSE than other Never Trumper.

She said the following about Trump:

quote:

“When you have a candidate that comes in and goes against a governor, it’s everything a governor doesn’t want in a president,” she said. “Because we don’t want a president that’s just going to bash and sit there and tell us what we’re not doing right. We want a president that is going to help us fight, help us win and help explain why we don’t want Syrian refugees and why prisoners at Guantánamo Bay don’t need to come to South Carolina.”


quote:

“During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the silent call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.”


quote:

Host Matt Lauer presses Haley on her condemnation of the “angriest voices” in her address. “In that context, you were referring to Donald Trump, correct?”

“He was one of them, yes,” Haley said. “He was one, there’s other people in the media, there’s people in my state. I think we’re seeing it across the country.”


“But yes, Donald Trump has certainly contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk,” she said.

“Some people on the far right of your party wanted you to deliver a full-scale partisan political attack. You didn’t see that as your mission, did you?” Lauer said.

“That wasn’t me. That’s not me,” Haley responded.”I think it’s important for us to look in the mirror. I think Republicans need to realize that they too are responsible for the status of where we are as a country.”


quote:

Haley said Tuesday she's still trying to make up her mind. But she said Trump represents "everything a governor doesn't want in a president." On Monday, Trump said Haley's not fighting the federal government hard enough on Syrian refugees and Guantanamo detainees.

Haley says Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. She says governors want a president who will work with and fight for them, not come into their state and bash them. She called Trump's comments "quite Obama-like."

Haley also said she was embarrassed for her daughter's sake at Saturday's debate, when Trump criticized former President George W. Bush's handling of 9/11.



And then she joined his administration. She is a fraud just like Obama McCain Romney Hillary etc.

There can be JUST ONE REASON why Mainstream Media, Pundits, "Establishment", "Permanent State", "Deep State" would praise her. Because, she is just like Obama-McCain-Romney-Hillary... another one of their pawns in the swamp.

Primary or General election.

Certainly will always vote for anyone with best chance to defeat a DEMOCRAT for any election anywhere, anytime.

Certainly have no reason to oppose her - but in a primary would depend on competition. For instance, would still go for Cruz if he ran.
