...and have to take it with a smile? She will, of course, because she is trying to somehow remain politically viable while also tying her wagon to Trump.

Her days are numbered.

You don't publicly contradict Don the Con and expect to get away with it.

She fought back and it's the coke addict that is apologizing. She may be the only person in this administration worth more than a bucket of spit.

exactly, is that A-hole in FLA? (dt and pals)

She was my Gov for 6 years.
Very ambitious, clearly plans to go for the top job at some point.
As President, she would be a smart and competent pusher of a far-right agenda, including most of Trump’s populist bullshit.

That is a scary thought.

she reminds me of Colin Powell. Just a little bit. I think it's the "I ain't your bitch" routine. I'm not too familliar with her politics, but it seems like she toes only her line.

But, then again, I only read what is fed to me when I have time to dine on it.

Haley is not very smart and mostly about her personal ambitions.

As I mentioned, I'm largely naivé to Haley and what she's stepping-in. I can buy your analysis that she's politically defiant with respect to the current administrations policies to measure her own ends.

But I kinda like that she doesn't seem to have a problem openly pissing the Ivory Tower off.

The crux is her character, which I, as I said, possess a vacancy of knowledge.

It's easily conceivable that she's in a position to both feint political independence and simultaneously monopolize on her own agenda.

She's probably the sanest of the bunch (which isn't saying much) and she's a rarity because she seems to have a little spine. Nice smackdown of the idiot Kudlow.

which is why they constantly flip flop on everything every time. They can't seem to decide what to do.

They'll ultimately go with whatever is bad for the people and good for their cronies.
