S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, coming off a year where she gained national attention for her handling of the Charleston church mass shooting, will deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union address on Jan. 12, The State has learned.
Haley is calling her nationally televised speech an âaddressâ rather than a âresponseâ as they have been called since they began in 1966. She is the first South Carolinian to deliver the State of the Union response.
The Lexington Republican, considered a possible vice presidential pick, is heading to the middle of her second term as governor in a state that holds the first presidential primary in the South. The daughter of Indian immigrants has been called a rising star in the party since she became South Carolinaâs first woman and first minority governor.
Her stature grew since the summer after she called for removing the Confederate battle flag from the State House grounds after a state senator and eight other parishioners were gunned down at Emanuel AME Church on June 17. An avowed racist was charged in the killings that shocked the nation.

Which means she meets the Trump qualifications.
Thanks for the warning - I’ll be sure to miss what will be an insipid response, as well as dear leader’s presentation of more edicts.
Wow. There are SO SO SO many better choices out there.
Somehow, I'm reminded of Liar, Liar when Jim Carrey yells at the impound lot worker about his damaged car:
"Do you know what I'm going to do about it? Absolutely nothing!"
So, I won’t be watching the S of the U speech or the Republican response. Her PC response to the Confederate flag controversy damaged whatever broad voter appeal she might have had.
Trump should give his own response.
She’s only a possible VP pick for a Cheap Labor Express candidate
SC needs to kick this dirty vixen to the curb. She’s joined the ranks of state-side “untouchables”.
She’s a spineless third-worlder.

No point in reading past there

Yep
Oh crikes! Another moment in RINO history coming up.
NM governor Susan Mendoza and other Republican women have been given the 15 minutes of fame to see if they have what it takes to be VP material.
Most of them have been quite normal..meaning boring. The running mate pickers are looking for someone with the electricty of Sarah Palin but who stays on message...the message she has been given by the puppeteers.
Forget that.
That would be a disaster. There is a huge amount of dirty that Hillary’s people can use against Nikki Haley. She will only cost votes. She is not fit to be governor and should be impeached.
But SC people don't know that.
My bad......sorry. Or, just a Freudian slip?
