Depending on how and on what she campaigns, she could be the antidote to Trump for the GOP. Question is, would Trump nip her in the bud?.. on the way back from a meeting.
And so it begins.
May you live in interesting times .....

Might be that she's getting independent enough to buttress a Trump 2020 campaign by replacing Pence as the VP candidate. She'd be a more viable successor, at least politically, than Pence, IMO. Haley would be 52 in 6 years, and Pence would be 65 - which isn't too old, but it seems to me he's already looking pretty darned emasculated politically for a presidential run. Haley would give the Trump administration a chance to extend for at least +4 and maybe +8 years... on the way back from a meeting.

Why do you see the timing of her resignation as odd? Seems perfectly timed . . . she's not leaving until the end of the year, which means that she's leaving just as the crap is about to hit the fan, if there's anything to the Mueller investigation. And if the GOP craps out in any significant way - losing the house, for example - she won't have to live through governing with a divided congress . . . seems to me the perfect time to go, if she wants to remain independent of Trump to any degree.Try 2024. She has no chance again Trump in 2020. 0%.
She wants to distance herself from Trump before running in 2024. There is probably also more to the story of her resignation than we are aware of as the timing is very odd.

That, and he needs Pence to help move his legislative agenda along in congress . . .Pence was absolutely essential to Trump evangelical support and Trump knows that. Trump founnd the perfect stooge in Pence. I don't see Trump dropping Pence.

That does seem reasonable, if Graham takes a Trump cabinet position.The speculation I've read is that after Lindsey Graham is given a cabinet position, Haley will take his Senate seat. That makes the most sense to me.
Agree. Trump is almost unanimously popular among ReTrumplicans.Try 2024. She has no chance again Trump in 2020. 0%.

Why would Graham do that?
Haley seems to like to control her narrative. She probably told no one, maybe not even her husband.What's odd is that it was very abrupt. Her own staff wasn't aware? Pompeo and Bolton were unaware?
Normally, you don't suddenly resign... And normally that would be announced after November.
She doesn't govern, so that's irrelevant to her duties. Cogress has no oversight of her role at the UN. Heck, Pompeo is ignoring his meetings with Congress.

My sense was that Graham (a) knew that politically he'd have to vote to confirm Kavanaugh's nomination, and (b) he saw the GOP prosecutor about read to catch Kavanaugh's more sensitive parts in a ringer and went ballistic to draw attention to himself and off of Kavanaugh . . . .Why wouldn't he? Sure seemed like he was auditioning for AG during the Kavanaugh hearings. He's also gone from someone who claimed to stand up to Trump to a total ass licker.

You're talking about the 10% who are ReTrumplicans In Name Only.Nah, it’s only 90% of ‘em. Please, don’t lump them all together. That’s just unfair.
Her age gives her plenty of time. I always thought Obama jumped the gun. He could have let Hillary be president 4 or 8 years and then cakewalked into the presidency with a lot more experience. Selfish beyotch, now he gets to retire young and surf Hawaii all he wants.Might be that she's getting independent enough to buttress a Trump 2020 campaign by replacing Pence as the VP candidate.

Understatement of the year.The primary would be ugly, of course.
Sounds like she may need some private sector money
https://outline.com/7CMvTS
In her resignation letter to President Donald Trump, she wrote: "As a businessman I expect you will appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down but a step up."
Haley's finances have received attention in the past, notably how they see-sawed before she became governor 2010.
Her family earnings swayed from $65,700 in 2004 to $40,300 in 2006 to $196,300 in 2009 when she got a job with Lexington Medical Center.
Last year, the Haleys managed to reduce some of their debt by selling the shopping center that once housed Nikki Haley parents' clothing store, Exotica International.
Don't bet on it.This. The perfect antidote.

You forgot all the female dolts working (or ever worked) at CNN.the soulless, brainless dolts such as Harris, Warren or Gillibrand?
She didn’t sound at all today like she was distancing from Trump. On the contrary, she praised him over and over again.Try 2024. She has no chance again Trump in 2020. 0%.

Your snark aside, Haley strikes me as a very serious threat to Democrats as soon as she runs for president. If Democrats don't figure out how to get out of their own way and focus on jobs and the economy, I think she'd steamroll anyone they nominate.How delicious will it be when the first female president of the U.S. will be Nikki Haley and not one of the soulless, brainless dolts such as Harris, Warren or Gillibrand? And, to further the good times, how about routing one of the young guns such as Kerry, Bernie or Uncle Joe, those wacky (then) octogenarians? Will some of the usual suspects come out of the woodwork and say there's a special place in Hell for any woman who doesn't vote for a woman or that any woman not voting for Haley is a traitor to her gender?
