and speak limited English. Nikki was born in the US, but you never saw her parents until the night she won the Governor's race.

An especially vile redneck Senator referred to her when she was running for Gov as a "raghead like Obama". She got a lot of sympathy because of that, and it caused a woman to run against the guy and beat him in the District he had represented for about 10 years.
Nikki is now a Methodist, or whatever you want her to be.

She denies a run, but could be urged to be a presidential candidate to get Republican women back. ancianita Oct 2018 #10

She could be looking for a VP run too. BigmanPigman Oct 2018 #12
