It’s a state decision.

“She comes up to my office when she wants campaign contributions, and I’ve given her tremendous contribution over the years”, Trump said. However, he said he was infuriated by President Barack Obama’s deal aiming to curb Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons, as well as other allegedly incompetent things done by the Obama administration.
Trump became part of the “angriest voices” when he “started saying ban all Muslims”, Haley said.
‘But now that I’m running, she wants to take a weak shot on illegal immigration, ‘ he said.
Indian-American South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on Wednesday kept her options open on being the Republican vice presidential nominee as she said that though her life “is full” at the moment, she would be “happy to sit down with a candidate”.
The GOP response to President Obama’s State of the Union highlighted divisions within the party and “doubled down” on a rejection of the angry conservatism espoused by the front-runners.
Moore said Haley was simply reflecting political realities for a party that has lost two straight presidential elections.
“She did more talking about her party’s positive agenda than any single of them has done all year”, she said. “And it is quite telling to note where in the drive-by media and in the conservative media today she’s being hailed”. “The vision she outlined for our country was inclusive and optimistic, and perhaps most important, it was grounded in reality”. There were times that were tough, but we had each other, and we had the opportunity to do anything, to be anything, as long as we were willing to work for it. I mean, she’s very, very weak on it and it’s a problem.
But not all conservatives shared this enthusiasm, particularly those who capitalize on the same sense of disenfranchisement as Trump. “And for that, she deserves credit”, he said.
For Republican elites – as well as moderate women, college-educated suburbanites, right-of-center Latinos, and a host of other swing-voting demographic groups who tend to find Trump repellant – the contrast drawn by Haley was probably an appealing one.
Trump noted that Haley solicited and received campaign contributions from the NY billionaire. “We’ll see how popular these views are as primaries begin”, Ingraham tweeted.
“Trump should deport Nikki Haley”, tweeted conservative commentator Ann Coulter during the middle of Governor Haley’s speech Tuesday night.
“Considering I’m leading in the polls by a lot, I wouldn’t say she’s off to a good start, based on what she has just said”.
Obama addressed a Congress now run by emboldened GOP majorities already planning their agenda under a potential Republican successor, starting with repealing the president’s health care law. Our state was struck with shock, pain, and fear, but our people would not allow hate to win.
“It is what makes us the greatest, freest country in the world”.

“And so what I say to Mr Trump is, don’t take it personally”.
