CBS: Nikki Haley on Trump, "confusion," and speaking her mind
Our SUNDAY PROFILE this morning is of Nikki Haley, our outspoken Ambassador to the United Nations. She talks with Rita Braver:
If this administration has a star, it just might be Nikki Haley. From her first day on the job as United Nations Ambassador, the 46-year old laid down the law. "For those who don't have our back, we're taking names," she said in January 2017.
And as she took Braver on a visit to the floor of the United Nations Security Council, she defended her tough stance.
Braver said, "Some people say there's a little too much swagger, you know that."
"You know, I don't think it's swagger. I think it's passion. I am very passionate about defending the United States."

Update: Nikki Haley says she won’t defend Trump’s ‘communication style’ (The Hill)
WNU Editor: My friends who work at the UN in New York City tell me that when she is not in the Security Council and/or off camera .... she becomes a completely different person focused entirely on achieving diplomatic goals while defending/promoting U.S. interests.

She is really a great person. Nikki Haley President!!!!!
ok. when? next election to replace Trump or now to replace Trump? or after a Trump 2nd term?
All we can really ask for as Americans is leaders who will represent our intersts. With that said reasonable people can and will disagree on just what the proper courses of action.
"Nikki Haley for President." We could do much worse!! After Trump's two terms which will end 2025, then we will have Pence for two terms. He will leave office in 2033. Nikki Haley could take office in January 2033. I think she is young enough. Of course if Trump dies in office she could be POTUS sooner. As I stated, we could do much worse.
I read the comments. Then I threw up a little.
Why would you "throw up?" Leaders who actually place American interests above their own must be absolutely terrifyingly to some!!
Anyone who thinks that Nikki Haley represents American interests is delusional. She's about as stupid as a box of rocks. She's not qualified to be dog catcher never mind US Ambassador to the UN! On Iran, for example, she is constantly pushing for confrontation and regime in Iran while betraying absolutely no knowledge of real history or diplomacy. She repeats the fantasy that Russia somehow interfered in the 2016 US election and contradict's Trump's own stated intention of wanting to improve US relations with Russia. She's a neo-con protege of John Bolton whose ultimate fantasy is bombing Russia and China alongside our ever-loving British and French allies. Human civilization can't survive such lunatics.
Carl, you are entitled to your opinions and I respect them. As I've stated before, analysis tnat is limited to "America=bad, America"s enemies=good" is over simplistic and isn't helpful.
Personally I'd be happy to have leaders who will actually stand up to Iran "death to America." They've been humiliating us for decades. It's time to change that. POTUS seems to have gotten under their skin.
B. Regarding world affairs as you unintentionally, perhaps unintentionally said, 'America isn't helpful'. Heck, America can't or won't even help its own, witness Puerto Rico for example.
