(115,669 posts)would be good presidents - Nikki Haley is definitely NOT someone I'd want anywhere near the Oval Office. I don't understand why gender should be a determining factor - I'd be happy to have a qualified woman president, but being a woman doesn't automatically make someone a good leader, Exhibit A being Margaret Thatcher.

(115,669 posts)Nobody can dig them out at this point. And they are too sexist, racist and nativist to go with someone like Haley - she's not only female, she's of Indian descent. Gotta be a white male in GOP world these days, a fact Trump has conclusively proved.

I'll bet her former paramour-advisor, Will Folks, would love it--it could give him a few appearance fees for going on TV shows.
I suppose she's slightly better than her predecessor, who like to "Hike The Appalachian Trail!" All the way to Argentina....!!!
