Let me say here and now….I have NO problem with a woman as president…..I do not think that Fiorina is that person……and likewise, even though she may be the frontrunner in most pols, I do not think the Hillary would be a good president….wait! Let me qualify that……I do not think she would be good for the country but excellent for the ruling class of wealthy thieves…..
I also like Warren…..basically because she is a true progressive not some Blue Dog in progressive clothing……and then there is Nikki Haley of the GOP…..I like her and she proved to be the best SOTU replier that the GOP has offered up in the last decade……in case you missed her speech……

While I may not agree with her stands on everything….I do like that she took the high ground in her speech….something the GOP has not done in a very long time….
The GOP today is in crisis mode…..all these up starts are beating the pants off the old team…..and this election could be a fatal shot to the party…..but there is a bright spot, at least in my opinion, and the bright spot is Nikki Haley……is it possible that she could save the party from it self?
“Ordinarily, the opposition party’s official response to a State of the Union address is offered as a rebuttal to the president’s speech. This, however, is clearly no ordinary time. Overshadowing any criticism of President Barack Obama in the rejoinder delivered by Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina Tuesday night was the targeting of the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. Though his name was never mentioned, the text of Haley’s remarks left no doubt that her target was none other than Donald J. Trump.” (01/13/16)
It is possible that Haley could be the savior that the GOP is going to desperately need after the 2016 election…..
The bell sounds….so off to teaching I go…..back later…..
I trust Haley’s tone of voice is dulcet……
As for Hil’s… the moment she opens her mouth I cringe at the sound of her somewhat nasal ‘whine’ Awful….I turn her off…..I have v.sensitive ears….she needs elocution lessons…grin
p.s.
But not like Maggie Thatcher!
Yuk…
Her laugh is what irritates my senses….LOL
Nikki Haley has stated that, as the daughter of immigrants, she believes the immigration laws should be enforced.[38] She voted in favor of a law that requires employers to be able to prove that newly hired employees are legal residents of the United States, and also requires all immigrants to carry documentation at all times proving that they are legally in the United States. The law was adopted, but is currently the subject of a lawsuit initiated by the United States Justice Department on numerous grounds, including claims the immigration law violates the Supremacy Clause. Rob Godfrey, a spokesman for Haley, said, “If the feds were doing their job, we wouldn’t have had to address illegal immigration reform at the state level. But, until they do, we’re going to keep fighting in South Carolina to be able to enforce our laws.”[39]
Social policy
Haley is pro-life and consistently voted for bills that restrict abortion and protect unborn fetuses. She also voted for bills that allow abortions in circumstances in which abortion might be necessary to save the woman’s life. She voted for the Penalties for Harming an Unborn Child/Fetus law in 2006, the Pre-Abortion Ultrasound law in 2007, and the 24-Hour Waiting Period for Abortions bill in the South Carolina House of Representatives in 2009. The Penalties for Harming an Unborn Child/Fetus law says that any act of violence against a fetus is like a criminal act against the mother.[citation needed] The Pre-abortion Ultrasound law requires the woman considering an abortion to look at an ultrasound image before she is allowed to have an abortion.[citation needed] In addition, the 24-Hour Waiting Period for Abortions bill would have required the woman to wait one day from the time of the ultrasound before she is allowed to have an abortion.[citation needed]
Haley also voted yes on some bills relating to abortion that were tabled or rejected, including the Inclusion of Unborn Child/Fetus in Definition for Civil Suits Amendment, Prohibiting Employment Termination Due to Abortion Waiting Period amendment, and Exempting Cases of Rape from Abortion Waiting Period amendment. The last-mentioned bill would have allowed specific cases of women to not have to wait the mandatory 24 hours before having an abortion.[40]
I know……she stands for nothing I would support…all I wanted to point out was that she sounds a little less moronic than the crop of GOP candidates we have now…..
