(81,220 posts)I don't trust Nikki Haley farther than I can throw my house. All she really cares about is her own ambition, and standing out. She REALLY, and quite SERIOUSLY, wants to stand out. I say this because I've observed how she dresses. She often makes wardrobe choices that allow her to stand out, so your eye goes straight to her. During that horror in Charleston when those nine church people were gunned down by that racist kid, which FINALLY pushed the state government to take that damn hate rag down from the capitol square, she wore a blinding white skirted suit that day. There were lots of long shots of the square, the crowds, the flag pole and the descending stars 'n' bars. Most people there, particularly in the section where all the civil servants and office-holders and other VIPs were gathered, there she was, too. Right down front. And you Could. Not. Miss. Her. Not from a mile away. It was almost comical. This is a solemn and most revolutionary event in your state's history, Miss More ME, Please - and all you care about is standing out in the crowd. On the night of the murders she gave a press conference with a phalanx of first responders and other men behind her, and she had this loud plaid blazer on. ANYTHING to catch the eye. Several other times, I've observed this. It just seems smack-you-in-the-face-with-a-cream-pie obvious.
I've taken to referring to her as Governor Mimi, and now Ambassador Mimi. Because it sounds like "ME! ME!" She's VERY ambitious and I think she wants to be president someday. I think she kinda deep down EXPECTS to be president someday. Beware.
