Former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is NOT a panacea for Republicans or the nation at large.
She certainly is qualified for the Presidency, and is ahead of Joe Biden in some public opinion polls, but she has demonstrated a lack of courage in refusing to condemn Donald Trump, and many obervers believe she is angling to be his Vice Presidential running mate.
Her refusal to understand the role of slavery and racism in the American past, and her suggestion that she would pardon Donald Trump after a conviction destroy any sense of respect that she has had in the past.
She is the only true “survivor” of the disastrous Republican Party of 2024, but it is clear that she has no real chance of getting past Donald Trump, and is still unwilling to challenge a man who professes to want to be a dictator, and destroy the Constitution and rule of law!
I hear that Tim Scott has endorsed Trump.
He’s probably hoping to be Trump’s running mate.
Trump made a mental blunder yesterday, confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, while he was talking about January 6.

Voting results is coming in for New Hampshire. Nikki Haley does well in urban areas and suburbs. Trump does well in rural areas.
Trump won New Hampshire, but it’s rather close between them. She’s vowing to continue to South Carolina.
I predict she gets creamed in South Carolina.
