Trump considering SC Gov. Nikki Haley for secretary of State: reports

[HonestJohn]

This is interesting.

India would be pleased as punch.

Not sure if she'd take the position, though.

[mystery-ak]

This has to be misinformation..I cannot see how she is qualified for such a position...

She's certainly just as qualified as Hillary Clinton was.   

[Jazzhead]

Haley and Romney appear to show Trump is willing to recruit talent without regard to whether they backed him in the recent scrum.   Or course,  Trump hasn't hired anyone yet.

[Jazzhead]

From what I've read, there are enough Republicans who oppose Bolton in the Senate that, when combined with the Democrat Senators, will make his confirmation impossible.

Sounds about right.   Bolton is not confirmable.   Maybe in another position.   Trump knows (or will soon know) that every Cabinet pick has to have sold support in the GOP Senate.   Thanks to dingy Harry,  all that's needed is a majority, but the majority is very slim.

All part of the head fake.

In the past few days, people who strongly opposed Trump have been rumored to be considered for positions in the Trump administration
Cruz, Romney and Haley.

No way.

Why does Trump talk with people that don't like him?
Its a freebie.
It makes him look good and he doesn't commit to anything.

IMHO I think Trump is calling different people in and asking their opinions and advice and the media is assuming that everyone Trump is talking to he wants to place them in his cabinet.

Agreed.  She's been a governor for 5 years and prior to that she was in the S.C. House of Representatives.  Education wise she has a B.S. in accounting.  Absolutely nothing that would prepare her for being Secretary of State; she has no foreign policy experience whatsoever and this position is far too important to place someone with no experience.

Trump is using the opportunity of conducting cabinet interviews to meet with his opponents within the GOP.

The ultimate goal may be to mend fences within the party...I'd be very surprised if either Romney or Haley is actually named SoS.

[Sanguine]

Why?

That was my question too.

[catfish1957]

No..  The Confederacy was a nation that took up arms against this country.  No a bunch of states that left country and rebelled. If you want to fly flag so be it..

I find it ironic you post an inquiry in the genealogy thread the same day you defend a "1st generation" non-American descent Governor and her Confederate attack stance.  Her and her  ilk supports factions who would rather have any and all references to our records and heritage (100-150 years ago) destroyed or sealed in museum boxes.  That is just the sane ones.  Others more radical would rather  dig up confederate Generals,  deface or destroy Confederate Soldier Memorials, or criminalize display of the CBF. 

Again, you do don't have any clue that we had ancestors who though fought for an unjust cause, still fought with valor and died defending their soil against invaders.  I have no problem railing against the institution of slavery, but to erase everything else that was good just by association is ridiculous.

You are a conservative right?

[Cripplecreek]

Thumbs down.  Her southern heritage attack episode puts her on my perpetual sh__ list.

Of course Trump himself has the same stance.

[Silver Pines]

Of course Trump himself has the same stance.

I don't know how to copy and paste from this phone yet, or I'd post Ann Coulter's twitter response to the Haley news.  Coulter is one vile piece of work.

I saw it. She (Coulter) says if Trump wants an Indian so bad he should get Tonto.

As the Trump crowd continues to deny it, these people continue to get worse.

Just the other day Bannon was supported with support for Japanese internment camps.

This thread may be all ado about nothing.  Romney may be the SOS selection, not Halley. As for how I feel about her, I like her, but SOS is not a position I would appoint her to.

I'm surprised she hasn't started doing a weekly column for Stormfront.  She might as well.

Oh, is that right?  And those camps were the work of a progressive.

Thanks for posting the tweet, @Cripplecreek .

I don't call her the queen of the Aryan Brotherhood for nothin.
