How could she be so goddamn stupid to get in front of the United Nations representing the dumbest and most incompetent President ever..and admonish/ ridicule the entire body of the United Nations ..
I think she ruined any hope of achieving any kind of status in the Republican Party/Politics again..
The reasons are obvious.. Trump will pass on to orange pastures.. The Dems hopefully will control both houses and the Pres by 2020.. And Nikki Haley will be remembered for 1 thing. Standing in Front of U.N. and making a complete jackass of herself.

that Haley came off like an obnoxious high schooler, but Im pretty sure she reminded the Secretary General that he forgot to hand out homework assignments for over the Christmas holidays.
If only she'd sung a few verses of "There's a Man Goin' Round Takin' Names", the performance might have distracted from her performance as a know-nothing asshole.

(6,324 posts)They hate the UN. They love the idea of the US pulling its funding from it.
They love the idea of ending foreign aid to countries that vote against us there.
All you saw on the right wing sites was Finally someone with the guts to tell them if they keep bashing us they can do it without our money funding then.
They hate the UN. So they loved that juvenile lecture she gave the world.

(32,117 posts)She didn't even have to get up in front of the UN and look stupid. She committed political suicide just by taking a roll in the Trump shit. Once that shit sticks to you, you can't wipe it off.
