Nikki Haley has been the center of attention since delivering the Republican Party response to President Obama’s final State of the Union address Tuesday, earning praise and even calls to be the potential GOP vice presidential nominee.

Though her comments in December were not remarked upon, this time around, some of the conservatives did take shots at the Governor.
Haley stressed that she wrote the speech herself and without guidance from the Republican congressional leadership who tapped her to give the address. The next morning on “Fox & Friends”, Donald Trump declared that Gov. Haley is “very weak on immigration”.
PAPILLION, Nebraska Jan 13 President Barack Obama visited with a young family in the living room of their suburban house in Nebraska on Wednesday, the first stop on what the White House said would be a year-long tour to talk with Americans about fixing the nation’s polarized politics. Her speech came shortly after President Obama took his own veiled swipe at Trump in the State of the Union when he warned of “voices urging us to fall back into our respective tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who don’t look like us or pray like us or vote like we do or share the same background”. She also hewed closely to long-time GOP demands in the immigration debate, saying: “That does not mean we just flat out open our borders”.
She appeared on NBC at a show called “Today” when she said that Mr. Trump has often contributed in speaking irresponsibly. Haley speaks in a painfully slow, rehearsed-sounding tone that sounds as if she’s talking to five-year-olds. She confirmed the real estate mogul was the main target of her critique, although she said other unspecified presidential candidates had said things she viewed as disagreeable.
The Wisconsinite’s comments did more than stick up for Haley, who spent Wednesday enduring a wave of blistering criticism from the far right in the party.
“I don’t know her attitude”.
Nikki Haley did serious damage to her political future when she threw-in with the losing side in the battle between conservatives and the Republican establishment. The conservative commentator added, “Trump should deport Nikki Haley”.
She’s pandering to two warring perspectives on race within the Republican party. Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal who recently dropped out of the presidential primaries, had actively sought the support of evangelical Christians and also called for an end to hyphenated American identities like ‘Indian-American, ‘ much to the community’s chagrin. Her father taught botany at Voorhees College.
Following her impressive speech last night, Haley said she has been receiving calls from all over the country.

Trump jumped to the city’s defense, saying: “It’s a great place, with great people, loving people, wonderful people”. “She’s worked hard in a place like SC to bring people together”, Bharara said.
