Beware Nikki Haley, Grade A bureaucrat in 'Oedipal primary' WashTimesOpEd
Which is interesting, because the only reason anybody outside of the Palmetto State has ever heard of Mrs. Haley is because Mr. Trump hired her to be his ambassador to the United Nations. It’s an awkward dance with a porcupine, especially if it was the porcupine who brung you to the dance in the first place.
“Nikki, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a daughter, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand?”Part of what will make the fast-approaching Oedipal primary season so damned entertaining is the relative humorlessness of people like Mr. DeSantis and Mrs. Haley.
Sure, Mrs. Haley is in her prime. But what is she running for? What does she offer, other than not being Donald Trump? Other than not being 75 years old? She delivered sharp, spanking speeches to Iran, Russia and China at the United Nations for grown-ups? The problem for Mrs. Haley is that anyone who excels at the United Nations for grown-ups will pretty much excel nowhere else. It’s why these people invented “think tanks.” They even had to make one for President Biden — made in China, of course.
“It’s time for a new generation of leaders,” she says. “I’m calling for term limits on Congress and cognitive tests for politicians over 75. The status quo has to go.”
