Kellyanne Conway mildly criticized Nikki Haley in this clip from Fox News. But she finished her comments by praising Haley because she "looks like America".

I would have expected better from Conway. The Republican Party ought to be about merit, not identity politics. I mean, just look at the Biden administration- a bunch of people chosen based on that they are a member of some minority identity group. So what if they're completely incompetent. Of course, the Democrats could argue that their prominent leaders who happen to be white heterosexual males are also completely incompetent. So theirs is perhaps also actually a merit system, except they're seeking the worst person for the job rather than the best.

Anyway, I posted on the comments thread for that youtube video. But there wasn't much need. There were already all sorts of comments there discussing the various reasons why Haley is a terrible choice as a Republican candidate for president.

1). Flip flopper. Alternately sucks up to Trump and bashes him depending on which is more useful to her politically at the time.
2). Panders to identity politics and destructive left wing extremist movements like BLM.
3). Her record as gov of SC was characterized not by any principles but simply whatever she felt would serve her own political career.
4). The one thing she does seem to have a strong opinion on is her neocon foreign policy: War is the solution to everything.

I was heartened by the very overwhelming negative opinion of her among those who viewed that video.

Tim adds:

Agreed. She lacks principles at her core.

I heard her being interviewed by Glenn Beck yesterday. I didn't know who he was speaking with, but thought it was a particularly dim Republican. Easy platitudes and shibboleths and a meandering approach. I was surprised it was the "feted" Nikki Haley!  A true mediiocrity masquerading as a top political leader. I saw no leadership or sense of competence. But she'll probably get the Veep slot if she wants it simply because she's a woman and not all white.

BTW I still remember her caving on the Confederate Statue issue and the flag down there. If she is any sort of conservative leader she should know not to give an inch to the woke lynch mobs.
