Well, say goodbye to Nikki Haley, though probably not, according to David Brooks. And Chris Christie came to her defense at one of his town meetings, telling those in attendance that she doesn’t have a racist bone in her body– which may be something he believes, or it might just be an attempt to rescue the person he sees as having the best chance, currently, to dethrone Trump.
Anyway, she blew an opportunity to bring a bit of clarity to an issue that shouldn’t be at all difficult—the one about slavery being the main underlying cause of the Civil War. She couldn’t come right out and say that, until a day or two later when she couldn’t say it enough, couldn’t be any clearer.
She was the governor of South Carolina, though, which was the first state to secede back in 1860. The mindset still lingers, apparently. People are still sore, still hiding, still making excuses. The clarity still conveniently eludes many, and Ms. Haley may have been playing to that crowd. Yikes.
Wake up! You all have the power to simply move on.
