But, her beliefs? Because that's what will be used, should she be elected to anything again. Not her style or persona, but her beliefs.
I have no problem with Nikki Haley's "beliefs" (i.e., political positions). She's been a member of the S.C. House of Representatives, S.C. governor and U.S. representative to the U.N. Those are impressive credentials. Plus, she wasn't fired by Trump, and left on her own terms.
As for her political positions:
- She's in favor of lower taxes. She voted against a proposed tobacco surcharge. (She voted to increase S.C.'s sales tax, but remember that states need to balance their budgets.)
- She was a good fiscal steward as governor
- She supports school choice and charter schools
- She supports enforcement of the immigration laws, and voted in favor of laws that would require employers to prove that new hires are legal residents, and to require immigrants to carry documentation of legal status.
- She's a strong supporter of the State of Israel
- She supports voter ID laws
- She has a track record of being pro-life, including her signature on a bill that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
