Opinion: Let's get real about Nikki Haley

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is not a moderate.

Say that now -- and rinse and repeat until the 2024 Republican presidential primaries begin. Whether or not former President Donald Trump runs again, there will be inevitable talk of potential Republican candidates who might bring the party closer to the center by championing the importance of governance and the need to establish a big tent if the GOP is going to remain viable long-term.

Whenever this conversation kicks off, the former South Carolina governor quickly rises to the top of the list of people who could fit that profile.

But our memory of Haley and where she stands can be deceptive. As the party has become more extreme, Haley has repeatedly aligned herself with the former president -- when it is expedient.

As a South Carolinian, she is not as popular as all make her out to be. She was just interviewed this week, and she did say she was thinking of the 2024 run, and the interviewer asked, even if Trump was going to run, as she very quickly jumped in and said she would basically seek permission from the former president to run.......

She is not very likable throughout the whole country, sooooo...
