Your complete ignorance is showing. Nikki has been an excellent Governor for SC. The combined efforts of Nikki Haley and former Governor, Carrol Campbell have turned what was once a sleepy backwater state into a powerful economic force that is now the envy of our peers. Her ability to maintain a steady hand under often extreme pressure has been her strongest asset. She has proven she can diffuse difficult situations with both dignity and grace. I have zero fears of her ability to perform the duties and requirements of UN Ambassador.
The road problems here in SC are something she often gets blamed for. Her stance is that until the state highway commission is answerable to oversight, she isn't going to give them the free reign to borrow money. That is one organization in serious need of attention to ending some of the rather questionable incestuous relationships with contractors. The state's roads are being addressed, albeit not as fast as some of us would like.
I'm more concerned about her replacement Governor, who is not nearly so willing to take such solid positions. Future comparison is likely to make her legacy look even better then it already does.
So saying I dislike her, is showing ignorance.
Your complete intolerance toward a different opinion is showing.
In all fairness, all I said was "I dislike her, but my opinion doesn't matter much" and people here go nuts.
There's a pretty decent chance that Mike Pence will be president four years from now. Trump will be impeached, or resign, or die/become incapacitated. If not, he is first in line. Even then, Little Marco is the crown prince in waiting.
The first woman might be Kirsten Gillibrand. She sat this one out for Hillary. News reports are she is already working donors for 2020.
It's hardly going to be that easy. I absolutely refused to vote for Hillary. I am not the only one. If the (D)'s ran someone even a wee bit decent I would consider voting for them over Pence. And by decent, I mean almost anyone.
I know very little about Haley. As of right now, I would consider her.

I can safely say Gov Moonbeam is, "based on my experience", a total buffoon. That isn't an unfounded bias, since I lived in CA during his original reign of absurdity. I couldn't care less about who or what you like, but do try to your support your position lucidly. You haven't given voice to any reason for your choice. That being said, you are quite free to base your opinions on The Farmers Almanac, I-Ching, Wooly Worms or plain old simple minded ignorance. Why?.... Murica!!!
I see immediately where this is going. Republican voters generally prefer governors (although this sure was a change up) because of chief executive experience. The knock againt this is that they have no foreign experience. Here is a very successful and likable governor who wil now have a wealth of foreign policy experience. If you want to know who the first woman president will be, I think you know now. And I would not be surprised if Trump declines a second term and she runs in for years. Mark this thread and bump it in four.
I don't think she's very popular with a significant portion of the GOPs' current rank and file.
Smart unification move by Trump. His willingness to nominate folks who bashed and criticized him is smart. Haley has a lot of the right characteristics to be a future presidential candidate. Depends how she does in her new role (assuming she accepts.)

on this, i totally agree with you, although i still dislike Haley.

And that is completely fair. I have mixed feelings about her, but I am curious to see how she does. She does represent one of the great possible ironies I'd like to see happen some day: The GOP presidential nominee being both female and a minority. That'd be just awesome! Better yet, an all female election year. I'd rather see Condoleezza Rice for that, as far as the Republican side of things go.

LOL
Seriously what do you have against Haley? You hate all Republicans? You hate Indians? She stole your boyfriend in college?
It's odd for anybody to have much an opinion of any kind on somebody else's governor unless following South Carolina politics is a hobby of yours or something.

Are you serious? lol
dude, all I said was " I don't like her, but my opinion doesn't really matter much." Get over it and deal with it

In other words "I don't like her...whoever that is".
