Nikki Haley resigning is awesome news for us.

She had a reputation , deservedly or not, as a voice of reason and decorum in a unreasonable and indecorous administration. As a person of color she was a rising star in the GOP.

This news will step on any other news for the next few news cycles.

Thank you, Ambassador Haley.

But in her short term, she set Arab-Israeli relations back 20 years. Defunded U.N. peacekeeping forces and gloated about it. And withdrew the U.S. from the Human Rights Council.

So overall she was a lousy UN Ambassador.

With a 'stunning' job at Foreign Policy on her resume, where's the next step up the Trump loyalty ladder going to take her?

Do not trust a single one of them.
They have no redeeming qualities left.

Since I suspect that she will take Graham's Senate seat after he is appointed AG. She will then have an excellent resume to run for President in 2024.

She has a lot going for her as a potential presidential candidate--young, attractive, minority, woman, governor, UN ambassador, seen as moderate.

Be careful what you wish for.
