9. That is not necessarily a good thing. Not all women politicians

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.

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....!!!
