He was one. There’s other people in the media, there’s people in my state, I think we’re seeing it across the country.

When Lauer asked if she would accept the position of vice-president if asked, Haley said: “If a candidate wanted to sit down and talk, I would sit down and talk”.
Dr. Bob Oldendick, a USC political scientist, says Gov. Haley’s speech was different from previous ones because she didn’t go through the president’s State of the Union address point by point.
Though her comments in December were not remarked upon, this time around, some of the conservatives did take shots at the Governor.
The author of the best-seller Adios America, Coulter also recently got into a big argument on MSNBC with Republican consultant Liz Mair over Trump’s fiscal conservative bona fides or lack thereof.
Haley has gained national prominence for helping to end the display of the Confederate battle flag on Statehouse grounds past year after half a century, a move that followed last June’s slaying of nine people at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
While Haley reflected a sympathetic attitude toward immigrants on Tuesday, she has by no means been a lightweight on the issue.
But Haley didn’t stop at criticizing Trump.
“I thought she was remarkable, actually”. “But I guess now that I’m running she doesn’t like me as much”.
“We need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in America’s leadership”, she said of Republicans. Asked if he would want Haley as the face of the party King said laughingly: “I think she’s lovely so I’d be happy if she’s the face of the party”. “When you’ve got immigrants that are coming here legally, we’ve never in the history of this country passed any laws or done anything based on race or religion”.
Let’s back up and start with the details, shall we? I’m not fighting that. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida worked with other lawmakers in the “Gang of Eight” to produce an immigration reform bill, which later stalled in the House.
In a series of tweets, radio host Laura Ingraham blasted the party and Haley for the rebuttal, which she said was more of a rebuttal to Donald Trump than Obama.
Just saying. Because, this was a rather unusual “response” to Obama by Republicans, that appeared more concerned about, say, influencing GOP primary voters in the must-win state of SC than providing a Republican counterpoint to Obama. Take it of you want.
The nation’s youngest governor at 43, Haley also seemed to try smoothing some of her party’s more combative edges.
Haley was probably doing the bidding of the so-called GOP establishment, which would be expected (from the power brokers in both parties) in crafting the storyline of a nationally televised political speech. “And in some cases we’ve seen leading Republicans been totally co-opted by it”, he added.

And, Noah, with those words, Nikki Haley inspired sort of a backlash from some conservatives, like Ann Coulter, who tweeted, “Donald Trump should deport Nikki Haley”.
