ACCOMPLISHED OPPORTUNIST - Nikki Haley is Taking the Tea Party Global

[DonViejo]

She has boundless ambition, and more than once in her political career has managed to step out of the shadows onto center stage as America's ambassador to the United Nations.

BAMBERG, South Carolina—Nikki Haley, an accomplished opportunist in the risky world of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, was born in 1972 here in the “black belt” of rural South Carolina.

It’s an agricultural region where most people have African-American backgrounds and, as Haley wrote in her 2012 memoir, “The railroad tracks divided Bamberg. On one side lived the black residents, on the other the white.” Today the town of 3,000 people is so small and fast-diminishing that it no longer has a hospital or a supermarket. But Haley’s fading picture still graces two welcome signs erected when she was the governor of the state.

Haley has not been back to Bamberg since Trump appointed her America’s ambassador to the United Nations in January 2017, according to several residents and officials here. Never mind. Haley remains Bamberg’s homegrown VIP, and the town’s main claim to fame.

This week in New York City, Donald Trump will be looming large on Haley’s turf at the U.N., making major speeches and presiding over the Security Council (and perhaps distracting from the D.C. encompassing allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh).

But Haley will be someone to watch as well, starting with Sunday’s talk shows. She has boundless ambition, and more than once in her political career has managed to step out of the shadows onto center stage. Indeed, for those who have watched her closely at the U.N., her performance makes the most sense not as a matter of diplomacy, but as a campaign for the big prize in 2024, or even 2020, with a hungry eye on Trump’s core supporters.

Majority of nations are not Aryan, white-Christian, capitalist lemmings.
