I am pretty sure Nikki Haley is the future the establishment wants

[alphafemale]

She really has a future if they want to go with the split and non-racist.

I even like her on some things and I am hard core demo as they come.

She is a force.

[HERVEPA]

1. surely you jest.

She is a piece of crap.

[Dawson Leery]

2. She is a fast talker like Rubio and Gingrich.

[7wo7rees]

3. Not so much, just more polished than Sarah or Michelle.

[SCantiGOP]

4. She is

An intelligent, educated and - most importantly - sane version of Sara Palin.
Her politics are pure Tea Party (but get rich at the same time). Her politics basically mirror Ted Cruz but she doesn't scare people.

[malaise]

5. Fugg her

Bare rubbish

[ucrdem]

6. Scary teeth.

[aikoaiko]

7. I was thinking the same thing. They are electrifying

[GoCubsGo]

8. Come live in South Carolina for a while.

You'll change your mind about her within a week. She's as corrupt and stupid as they come. And, phoney as a three dollar bill.

[Grassy Knoll]

9. They All Sound The Same.......

And Didn't hear a damn word Obama said, as usual.

[Bettie]

10. She sounds just like Senator Bread Bags

Just slightly different delivery.

[avebury]

11. Watch her eyes.

She is reading from a teleprompter. She is not really looking directly at the camera.

[johnnyrocket]

12. She's lame. Just doesn't seem like a good politician.

[hatrack]

13. No she's the latest of their Many Some Of Their Black/Brown Best Friends . . .

Now that Ben Carson's sell-by date has come and gone.

[moondust]

14. The FACE they want voters to see.

Strategically placed to rebut the President's scorn of Trumpism and Republican hate of non-whites and immigrants and their war on women. They don't really care what she says.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

15. Haley... how do I put this...

Spends a lot of time "Hiking the Appalachian Trail"

She has more baggage than international arrivals after two A380s arrive at the same time and some of her baggage is rather talkative.

[Are_grits_groceries]

16. Wait! Wut?

You have got to be kidding. I live in South Carolina.
She is a pathalogical liar and one of the most decisive people ever. She is beyond stupid when it comes to political maneuvering.
People need to check with those who have had to deal with her actions and not just jump at her appearance in one moment.
Gah!!!

[Hekate]

17. Thanks all for the whole thread. My initial impression needs modification, it seems.

[pnwmom]

18. They often put one of their hopeful stars in that position. We'll see what happens.

When I saw her I figured they're pushing her for VP.
