While I often agree with Gorka, I have a problem with someone who has such a large ego. Gorka enjoys his time on TV too much. Haley only showed up on TV when she had something very important to say. So when she spoke, people took notice. Gorka would be talking all the time.

I would prefer that Bolton gets someone with his force. But maybe, someone who does not love the camera so much. Somebody who uses strength not conciliation to interface with the UN.

The obvious one at this point would be Sec of State — if Pompeo needed to move on to clean up another admin cesspool. UN ambassador and SoS, along with two terms as a guv is a great resume for a female, nonwhite GOP pol.

I can also see her lining up her ducks for a 2024 VP run on the Pence ticket—if she and he are becoming resigned to a likely second Trump term.

Notable that Pompeo is a Harvard Law grad and still relatively young (54 to Haley’s 46), so he could well be a possibility to replace Sessions, who whatever the color of his hat is no spring chicken.

That of course would give Pompeo and monster of a resume as well—military, including 1st in his class at West Point, Harvard Law, 6 years in Congress, and then the head of the CIA, State and Justice in the Trump admin.

FTA:

<> The daughter of immigrants from India, Ms. Haley favored free markets and global trade and earned international attention for speaking out against the Confederate battle flag in the aftermath of the 2015 massacre at a black church in Charleston.(Emphssis added.)

Haley pretty clearly didn't understand that allowing display of the battle flag and monuments to Confederate soldiers and heroes were huge parts of enabling the United States actually to reunite after the horrible convulsion of the Civil War. Indeed, those monuments are monuments to one of the greatest successful mass reconciliations in all of world history, a reconciliation that enabled the United States once again to become united. Hence the protests against those monuments are either totally ignorant or in complete bad faith and are actually against the present United States, not the monuments.

I have been surprised and pleased by her aggressive defense of America and Trump policies, while knowing that, if her previous verbiage counts, she was not a Trump supporter. So I have to give her a lot of credit for that. But who knows why she’s leaving. The idea that Lindsey Graham is going to be appointed AG, and she be appointed to his seat is one I would support.

FreeRepublic is a Christian Science Reading room compared to the rest of the net.
only if a very small but very, very loud segment of the christians in the christian reading room were constantly calling everyone else in the christian reading room satanists and infidels.

We have had infamous posters and outright shills and yes, a couple of crazies over the decades. I can’t remember their screen names offhand but others will I am certain.

There is no mechanism to prevent the ineligible from running.
That does not make them natural born citizens.
There has been no court ruling in their favor.

You make excellent points. I expressed my support before I gave it any thought.

Gorka is probably most effective doing what he’s doing now.

An excellent example of the horrors that can occur after a civil war is the Roman Republic's descent into dictatorship. Caesar started it by crossing the Rubicon to overthrow the Republic that had recalled him from his Gallic wars. After that, supporters of the Republic assassinated him, setting off a full scale civil war that Caesar's supporters won. Then Antony and Octavius fought another one to decide who'd be the ultimate dictator, a war Octavius won, after which he became the first emperor, Augustus. Our extraordinary healing, symbolized by those statues and flags, prevented such a freedom-destroying horror. BTW the Roman civil wars lasted for the better part of a century. Our historically extraordinary act of reconciliation is exactly what left is trying to undermine and destroy, very probably leaving us with another civil war and a shattered country. It's pure evil and totally anti-American.

To: Bill W was a conservative

“She is effective, perhaps, when given a task to carry out.”

She read some speeches someone in the Trump administration wrote.

Does anyone think she wrote the speeches that she gave?

Does anyone have any evidence she is a conservative?

She is an opportunist; or, as you say, poison.
