Whatever else Haley may or may not be, or what her ambitions are, she's right about Russia.
The Russians are not our friends, and will never be for a very long time. Putin fully intends to rebuild the former Soviet empire, refashioned in a newer, less rigid fashion, and won't be content until he succeeds.
His motives aren't as political as financial. He wants Russia be be financially secure, and to be remembered as the Father of New Russia.
To accomplish those goals, he has to weaken American influence and American financial power, any way he can, anywhere it exists and is blocking his ambitions.
That demands a war for minds, not territory, and that's why his hackers are trying their best to mess us up. The more divided and disrupted we are, the easier it is for Putin to edge in and replace us in all the places where our alliances and influence counts the most.
If he keeps us at war with ourselves, he gets to win on the cheap. If we go to killing each other here, he saves Russian lives abroad, and that's all the better for him.
This is what the cyberwar is all about. This is the face of the New Cold War. So far, we haven't even agreed we are all engaged in it, so for Putin, the war campaign has been even easier than he anticipated. But it isn't over yet, though we have no time to spare to get our act together.
I'd vote for Rand. He is one that actually makes sense, unlike the Establishment Republicans, and their brethren the Democrats.
I worked on his campaign (And his dads)
But he doesn't have a chance with all these idiot RINOs and the sheer stupidity of party politics. Just look at the slate of nincompoops the RNC managed to assemble for 2016.
What a cluster that was. A whole stageful of idiots - all of them with the exception of Donald Trump totally DEAF AND BLIND to what Americans had been saying.
