Trumpinistas force Nikki Haley to fire team coaching her to talk tough to Russians.

[deminks]

(snip)

Up in New York at the United Nations, new Ambassador Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, had asked a bunch of the career officials to stay on, and they had started giving her briefings on how to talk tough to the Russians about their takeover of Ukrainian territory and other matters, I was told. Then the minders from the Trump “beachhead team” at Foggy Bottom found out about it; no way, they said, overruling Haley: They’re out.

1. Geeze! Kudos to her for attempting some type of transition, I guess.

I don't think the Trumpeteers are about transition, though.

2. She was an up and coming Republican

The GOP had to put her someplace to reduce her stature. The GOP hates the UN, so it seemed the perfect position for her to be obscured. Ms. Haley, should get out while she still can to save her reputation.

6. Kicking Nikki Haley upstairs also freed up the South Carolina governorship

for then-lieutenant governor Henry McMaster, a major Trump supporter in that state.

5. They sent Haley up to the UN's nothing job

to get her out of the Governor's seat here in SC, and replace her with a "real" conservative. Don't forget, she removed the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds.

9. Perhaps she should have finished her term as governor.

Getting the Confederate flag removed from state ground was a bold move.

Not sure she has a future in the Republican Party.
