Will Nikki Haley 2024 put pressure on Dems to pick a female candidate in 2020?

I would think the opposite. Nominating a white male to run against Nikki Haley might be the only real chance the Democrats have to actually pick up some of those "economically anxious" GOP voters.

But it's irrelevant, because the GOP won't nominate Haley any more than they would nominate Condoleezza Rice.

Respectfully disagree.

I really don't get all the Haley hype.

- Before being appointed UN ambassador, no one was talking about her. If she was so great, why didn't she run in 2016?

That's completely false.  She gained a lot of widespread credibility for her handling of the Confederate flag issue, including among Republicans.  I know that goes against the picture the forum wants to paint of the GOP, but that's how it went down.  Period.

- UN ambassador is not typically a position where you talk about someone going for President

Most UN ambassadors weren't in the spotlight as much as her in such a short time.

- Despite the talk saying she did so well in the role, she didn't really accomplish anything unusual

That's good...

- Her politics are out of step with the Trump wing of the GOP

How so?  First of all, the "Trump wing"'s size is greatly exaggerated and wrongly conflated with people who support Trump because he's the Republican President.  For every Sanchez who has a particular boner for The Donald and trashes other Republicans, there are five "Trump supporters" that are supporting him because he's the party's President.  This is evidenced by 50% of primary voters saying they wouldn't support Trump to most Republicans remaining loyal now.  They'd be similarly loyal to Haley just as they would have been for Romney and just as they were for Bush.
 It's like heresy to say this anymore, but can we stop pretending like the GOP electorate is fundamentally different from 2008?  Jesus Christ.

- By 2024 she'll have been out of elected office for nearly a decade

Well, that should be perfectly amendable to our current political climate, especially *THE TRUMP WING*!

It's pretty crazy how Nikki has grown some sort of halo over the years, I remember her barely scraping by in 2010 because of massive baggage she was carrying.

No one is putting a "halo" over her.  For as much as Atlas "overhypes" certain people, there is a far more prevalent practice of anyone who is heralded as a good candidate is immediately hated by everyone for being "so overrated" when they were never really rated that highly in the first place - simply discussed, for good reason.

Yeah and she would be a threat if she was the nominee, but I feel pretty confident that the gop won’t nominate a brown woman so we are probably safe lmao.

LMAO !!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry, I stand corrected, the gop would totally dig that.

The truth is obviously somewhere in between.  I was more mocking how simplistic your post was and how shallow and dumb it made you come across.  Par for the course.
