Trump chooses South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as UN ambassador
Published November 23, 2016 FoxNews.com

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday chose South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Haley was an outspoken Trump critic throughout much of his campaign, yet she's now poised to be the first female Cabinet-level official in the Trump administration.

"Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country," Trump said in a statement. "She is also a proven dealmaker, and we look to be making plenty of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage."

Born in South Carolina and of Indian descent, Haley is the second Asian-American to serve as U.S. governor, following ex-Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Why would she go from governor to UN ambassador? Seems like a step down in my opinion.

Unless I missed something this is a good choice.

I'm guessing the queen of the aryan brotherhood isn't too happy. This is her reaction to the suggestion that Haley be secretary of state.

Just seems to me that he's more interested getting people out of offices they currently hold and put them into positions that he can remove them from on a whim.

Most of the echo chamber at TOS are questioning this pick.

Lincoln did something similar when he appointed Seward to be his SOS and Chase to be his Treasurer.  He eliminated his biggest political rivals by putting them into his administration.  I think in this case Haley allows him to check off a couple of boxes in the "affirmative action" categories as well.  She is articulate and smart, so there is no doubt she can handle the job.

So far, I haven't seen much evidence that Trump wants to "drain the swamp" and fill his cabinet with competent people from outside of government.  But I also haven't seen any appointments that cause me great concern.

From a policy standpoint, all I keep hearing is tax cuts and infrastructure.  What about the deficit, folks?  Are these guys just going to ignore that?

Makes sense now.  Thanks for posting.  Never knew how ugly she was.  That is a racist remark.

You heard the man when he was on the stump. Borrow until be can't borrow anymore and then default. Expect an India style  remonitization to the "Donny Dollar" within the next 3 years.

Did she accept it, or did he just appoint her?

Why go from Governor to a UN Ambassador that seems to be nothing more than a figurehead position?

It is a racist remark.  Meanwhile I got flamed at TOS because I suggested that Anne Coulter eat a sandwich and take a Midol.

It's a fairly visible job, plus it gives her credibility in foreign policy should she ever decide to run for president.

Piker.

I managed to get blocked on twitter by both Coulter and Laura Ingraham at the same time for saying that the only difference between them was about 50 mg of Haldol.

@Cripplecreek, I think so too.  Question:  Who do you think he gets into the Chairmanship of the RNC?

I don't believe he has control over who gets the RNC Chair position.

I think he has a lot of say-so.  His suggestions will be seriously considered.  There was no other reason to pull Priebus to the White House.

I used to know them both, decades ago.  I never thought I'd see them like this.

Sad.
