In an uninspired GOP field, could the lone adult among the candidates have a shot at wresting the nomination from Donald Trump?
the opportunity to say she would not support a six-week ban on terminating a pregnancy. But on this topic, she still sounded more sensible than the others on the stage in Milwaukee.
She also displayed her formidable foreign policy chops. She gave Ramaswamy a karate chop about his views onand Ukraine. “This guy is a murderer,” she insisted, “and you are choosing a murderer over a pro-American country.… You don’t do that to friends. What you do instead is you have the backs of your friends.… You will make America less safe. You have no foreign policy experience. And it shows.”
Haley, in fact, has the best résumé of the bunch—even compared to Pence and his fallow time as Trump’s shallow vice president. As a former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations, she has both executive and diplomatic experience. And for a party that seems to have lost its backbone on leadership, integrity, international credibility, and, well, truth itself, Haley has a quartet of superpowers the GOP desperately needs.
“The American president needs to have moral clarity,” Haley stressed at the debate. “They need to know the difference between right and wrong. They need to know the difference between good and evil.” It’s a shame that we are at that stage in the life of this democracy, where the litmus test for the American commander in chief is whether they are an ethical human being. But here we are.
Candidate Haley, judging from her response to the Charleston massacre alone, possesses moral clarity. But she has more than that, especially in contrast to her competitive set of sharks, misfits, milquetoasts, and Trump toadies. I would go so far as to say that, given the political contours of these strange times, if you assembled the perfect 2024 Republican general election candidate in a laboratory, she would look a lot like Nikki Haley.
