At a time like this, when lives are lost and war and peace are in the balance, such a display of disrespect for suffering people is uncalled for in my opinion. She is not Presidential material in my book. I used to think more highly of her.

We need to become more ruthless as a whole. The reps would love nothing more than to bury the Dem party forever. F 'em all.

That issue was not unique or one-off thing. It's how she behaves -- she is transparent that her only core principle is doing or saying the thing that benefits herself politically.

(16,370 posts)I do think Trump has some level of fear of Haley which is likely why she got the gig. Its a lousy job to launch a presidential campaign from and the last thing he needed was her down in SC gathering strength and becoming a potential primary challenger down the road. Also, Ive noticed she seems to be treated with kid gloves relative to those who have fallen out of favor and end up getting the boot. I dont think thats an accident.

Respect is earned and not just a given. What has she done to earn your respect?
