Trump characteristically reminded the hosts of his “massive” lead in SC according to the polls, but made it sound like Haley lost her chance to be on the Trump ticket if he secures the nomination.

The GOP presidential candidate on Thursday was double-fisted with his blows against Obama and Haley, the Governor of SC who warned about the dangers of the rhetoric Trump is using during her response by the GOP to Obama’s State of the Union Address.
Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said Haley did a remarkable job with in her speech.
Trump responded by accusing Haley of being “weak on illegal immigration”.
Freshman Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, gave the address a year ago and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., the No. 4 House GOP leader, did it in 2014. Governor Nikki Haley epitomizes the image makeover RNC chair Reince Priebus had envisioned, not Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. “And it is quite telling to note where in the drive-by media and in the conservative media today she’s being hailed”.
“The only way to keep out Muslims terrorists is to keep out Muslim immigrants”, she said.
Be Civil – It’s OK to have a difference in opinion but there’s no need to be a jerk. Earnest said the White House still won’t agree with Haley on all issues, but added “her willingness to stand up for some important principles was noted and it took courage, and for that she deserves credit”.
Hewitt said, “Ann, and I respect that you hold this position forcefully, but would you acknowledge that you are a minority of about three?” She said no one who works hard and follows the laws “should ever feel unwelcome in this country”.
“This is, to me, one of the greatest bits of evidence that the Republican Party is not just anti-conservative, but it is very much pro-elite”, he said.
In her remarks, Haley blamed Obama for the deficit, a flawed healthcare reform program and “chaotic unrest” in the nation’s cities.
Her return to national prominence has kicked off fresh speculation that Haley could be a top vice-presidential pick for the Republican ticket in 2016.
Coulter jumped in. “Ambassadors, I would assume, this is a case that hasn’t been ruled on, that the children of military, somebody serving in the military is natural born”, she said.
The attacks on Ms. Haley show that many on the right these days oppose any immigrants, even those who arrive legally. Let’s not start that now.
Our country is being run by incompetent people. She also hewed closely to GOP demands in the immigration debate, saying: “That does not mean we just flat out open our borders”, and said the USA should refuse entry to refugees “whose intentions can not be determined”.
Obamacare, we’re going to repeal it and replace it. “When I say it about my other friends that are running for president, they don’t throw stones”.
