#1 Couldn't be any worse than sending John Fn Kerry out as Secretary of State.

#2 ....As Governor (Ambassador-designate) Haley works just a few blocks down the road from me, let me make a few comments:

- She's VERY well regarded here in SC.
- One tough and smart lady.
- Has kicked a big hole in the 'good ol' boy'
network down here.
- Unashamedly and unabashedly loves her country (Unlike the current office holder)
- Underestimated at one's own peril.

On the other hand, the President-elect has made a smart call -

- She's female, minority, and the child of an immigrant family.
- She's now IN the administration, and that's just taken her out as a possible primary threat in '20 in the event things go south.
- If she does even remotely well, she'll be well positioned to go after Lindsey Graham's seat.

UN Ambo Samantha Power along with three other feckless losers, soon to be unemployed.

#4 She could use a session or two from Trump on the 'care and disposal' of the NY media. You don't exist to fill their Sunday morning schedule.

#5 Bolton would probably make himself available to her to help her figure out how the place works.

Excellent idea! I recommend desks facing one another, with Darth Bolton given free hand and pistol.

#7 The Jerusalem Post points out she was the first governor to sign an anti-BDS bill into law. Also she is the child of not just Indian but Sikh immigrants, and was not an enthusiast for Trump the candidate, but believes it important to support the president.

#8 Yea, but - for a Governor, isn't ambassadorship (especially to UN) a bit of a demotion?

#9 If she does even remotely well, she'll be well positioned to go after Lindsey Graham's seat.

I'm kind of hoping she goes after Trump's seat 8 years hence.

#10 I hope that she was offered the job with the understanding that her primary goal was to get USA share of UN financing in line with representation.
