Nikki Haley is on the list of the op-ed mystery writer the NY Times has published that is contributing to this mess, but I don't think it is her.
She does have political ambitions however Here's a good list of suspects for the inside job of hatchet person https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...=.6373926b9060 Quote:

Every TWO years, you Americans vote. Every TWO years you vote all seats in Congress, and every TWO years you vote for one third of all seats in Senate. Every four years, presidential elections make it even more complex. Maybe you are election-addicts. Or did you mean to say that Congress and Senate do not count for you? Forgive that a foreigner must explain this to you, but you seem to not know your own system (or you should sue your former school for the low quality of math classes they provided you with). I do not even count the votings necessary when an office holder stands back, dies, must be replaced. Then the votings for city mayors, local parliaments... The last full campaign for POTUS lasted almost 600 days. Candidates announce their intention usually in springtime one year ahead of the presidential election. Wowh. Thats over one and a half year. https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...-world/501680/ https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=450238156

I thought this was a pretty accurate account of the recent Supreme Court nomination craziness and more to the point the Legislature not doing it's job.

Senator Ben Sasse is one of the GOP Senators I still have respect for (the ranks took a severe blow with the passing of Sen. John McCain") and have always appreciated his views, even on the odd occasions, where I didn't agree fully. It is interesting his name, and his stance on the confirmation hearings has been brought up; Sasse has, for a long time, voiced his dissatisfaction with the GOP as it stands today; yesterday, he said this in a televised interview:
If Sen. Sasse would like to join those of us who are free of being told what we should think, free of obligation to rote regurgitation of party lines, and free of crass political constraints, if he would like to join the very large, and very growing, voting segment of us Independents, he is more than welcome. We need people who actually think about matters seriously and put that thought into their actions. We need people who are not just "Party Lemmings"... <O>

That's because you only read that one article and you hate us so much that you only see what you want to see Dowly. His political leanings are as clear as the other liberal nut who shot up those republican congressmen playing baseball last year. The fact is the left is promoting and fomenting violence and their crazy fringe is responding. Deal with it.

Ben Sasse is a dead man walking, either he has already decided not to run again in 2020 or he will be beaten in the primary. With the iron grip that Trump has on the GOP, those that cross him are pushed out like Corker or Flake. of course as you get closer to 2020 you may see that Sasse all of a sudden starts to see new qualities in Trump and his agenda... p.s. - notice that despite all his anti-Trump rhetoric, he is still a solid yes vote on Kavanaugh.

After this storm, I am not looking forward to anything and everything in North & South Carolina being blamed on Trump for the next two years.

Comes with the job. Trump just isn't good at taking criticism and fans the flames into a nice roaring fire every time.

Another one of Trump's "best people" pleads guilty and begins cooperation with the Special Counsel.
