Coulter: Trump Should Deport Nikki Haley

Posted By Derek Hunter On 11:42 PM 01/12/2016

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter is known for her passion. Her latest book, “Adios, America,” lays out the case against immigration, both legal and illegal.

Coulter’s passion on the immigration issue has led her to being a huge supporter of GOP front-runner Donald Trump. That fondness for Trump has also led Coulter to defend the candidate from critics. One such critic is South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

Haley delivered the GOP response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address. In it, the governor delivered what many saw as a slam on Trump.

Haley said, “During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.”

She also added, “Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume.”

These were viewed as direct assaults on Donald Trump.

After hearing Haley’s speech, Coulter unleashed a flurry of attacks on Haley.

Who said it: Nikki Haley or Barack Obama

By Rebekah Metzler, CNN

Updated 11:51 PM ET, Tue January 12, 2016

Washington (CNN )Both President Barack Obama and Republican South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley -- who delivered the GOP rebuttal to the State of the Union -- seemed to speak directly to Donald Trump at times on Tuesday night. In fact, they had strikingly similar messages of tolerance and bipartisanship.

While they wouldn't agree on much policy, at many moments their speeches sounded very similar.

Can you tell the difference?

1) We need to be honest with each other, and with ourselves: While Democrats in Washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing America today, they do not bear it alone. There is more than enough blame to go around.

2) Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation.

3) Anyone claiming that America's economy is in decline is peddling fiction.

4) No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.

5) Many of our best corporate citizens are also our most creative.

6) We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what makes us strong.

7) We must fix our broken immigration system. That means stopping illegal immigration. And it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. Just like we have for centuries.

8) When politicians insult Muslims, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid bullied, that doesn't make us safer. That's not telling it like it is. It's just wrong.

9) Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.

10) As frustration grows, there will be voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who don't look like us, or pray like us, or vote like we do, or share the same background.

Haley -- 1, 2, 4, 7, 9

Obama -- 3, 5, 6, 8, 10

Nikki Haley jabs at Donald Trump in State of the Union response

By Gregory Krieg, CNN

Updated 12:58 AM ET, Wed January 13, 2016

(CNN)The Republican Party tapped South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to deliver its response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night, but her most memorable jabs landed squarely on the GOP's own Donald Trump. That's a something that didn't escape -- or please -- some conservatives.

Haley took clear aim at the GOP front-runner, discussing her family's immigrant experience while warning against rhetoric that would threaten "the dream that is America" for others.

"During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices," Haley said from the governor's residence in Columbia. "We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country."

Haley never mentioned Trump by name, but the implication was clear. The billionaire, who has led the Republican race in most national polls for months, said after the Paris terror attacks he would consider creating a national database of American Muslims and later called for a temporary halt to Muslims entering the United States.

Speaking to reporters in South Carolina a day after Trump proposed the ban, Haley dismissed it as "unconstitutional" and "an embarrassment" to the GOP.

"It defies everything that this country was based on," she said. "It's just wrong."

While those remarks passed mostly without comment in December, conservatives late Tuesday night lined up to take shots at Haley, with CNN political commentator Amanda Carpenter describing her speech as "GOP self-loathing."

Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham expressed similar disappointment, writing that Haley had "missed her opportunity."

"Trump should deport Nikki Haley," was one in a series of unhappy tweets from Ann Coulter, who also suggested a part of the speech roughly translated to "voters need to shut the hell up."

The apparent digs at Trump aside, Haley's remarks were light on partisan hostility as she sought to cast blame for the perceived ills of government on both sides of the aisle.

"We need to be honest with each other, and with ourselves: while Democrats in Washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing America today, they do not bear it alone," she said. "There is more than enough blame to go around."

"We as Republicans need to own that truth," Haley continued. "We need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in America's leadership."

Haley, 43, is the daughter of immigrants and the first Indian-American woman to serve as governor of a state below the Mason-Dixon line. Her status as a rising star and steely politician was solidified during a trying summer, as she managed her state's response to the church massacre in Charleston and championed the removal of the Confederate flag, which she described on Tuesday as "a symbol that was being used to divide us" from state grounds.

Haley framed her experience in the aftermath of the shootings in contrast to what she described as "chaotic unrest in many of our cities."

"Our state was struck with shock, pain, and fear," she said. "But our people would not allow hate to win. We didn't have violence, we had vigils. We didn't have riots, we had hugs."

First elected in 2010, Haley's performance in South Carolina has earned her a place atop the list of potential Republican presidential running mates and fans across the country, including the most powerful man on Capitol Hill.

"If you want to hear an inclusive leader who's visionary, who's got a path for the future, who's brought people together, who's unified, it's Nikki Haley," Paul Ryan, the Republican House speaker, told CNN's Jake Tapper Monday on "The Lead."

Haley isn't eligible to be a presidential running mate. Like Cruz and Rubio she's not a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen under Article II of the Constitution is born in the US to 2 US citizens. Haley's parents weren't citizens when she was born.

Haley, my God, the comparison is incomparable. You took down a flag that shouldn't have been where it was to begin with. The people affected were multi-generational citizens of the United States. Yes, Americans know full well how to resolve our own differences. Welcome to America! Americans also know the power of protests, the Tea Party against the Brits, John Brown to end slavery, women's right to vote, equal rights for black Americans, equal rights for gay couples, anti-war demonstrations, anti-illegal immigration protests, Million Man March, Black Lives Matter, and so much more.

And yes, some turned into riots, some even turned into War.

You need to pick up a history book and learn about the country you think you're a part of now. Sounds to me like you've got a lot to learn before you make a speech telling Americans what we should think or do.

And to Paul Ryan, you wasted a great opportunity to actually rebut Obama and as usual betrayed the Republican Party. I guess your goal was to prime up the base to support amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform? Well, that won't be happening.

Is there a challenger against Ryan yet?

Obama Sets Up Contrast With Trump — and So Does the GOP response

Jan 13 2016, 3:27 am ET
by Benjy Sarlin and Alex Seitz-Wald

President Barack Obama delivered a forceful State of the Union address Tuesday night in which he defended his record, set the stage for a Democratic successor to carry on his work, and — above all — warned Americans to steer clear of Donald Trump's bullying nativism.

The president isn't on the ballot in 2016, and he made only passing references to the election. But the race was clearly on the president's mind and he will undoubtedly loom large in it. Hillary Clinton is currently pitching herself as the last line of defense for the president's achievements while every Republican is running on a pledge to tear them down.

In many ways, the speech functioned as a point-by-point rejoinder to the long list of attacks Republican candidates have levied against his administration during the presidential race. It was almost as if, after a yearlong Friars Club Roast, the president finally got to take the podium and rebut his tormentors.

"[A]ll the talk of America's economic decline is political hot air," Obama said at one point. "So is all the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger and America getting weaker."

He was loose, dispensing with formality to go off script to offer "tips" to those campaigning in Iowa, mock critics who deny climate change and lament Washington's partisan deadlock. He took credit for gas falling under $2 a gallon, for the 14 million jobs created under his watch and for the falling deficit. In doing so, he offered a blueprint for the next Democratic nominee to defend his record.

But there was a deadly serious undercurrent to the speech, especially when it turned to the politics of Trump, whose rise appears to have genuinely shaken the president. Without ever mentioning his name, Obama repeatedly decried the billionaire's hostile rhetoric and proposals regarding immigrants and Muslims as an empty, misguided and un-American response to the challenges faced by the country at home and abroad.

The president recounted a long line of politicians across many eras "who told us to fear the future, who claimed we could slam the brakes on change, promising to restore past glory if we just got some group or idea that was threatening America under control," and were ultimately rejected by history.

He urged Americans to "reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion" and said that doing so was not "political correctness," a clear reference to Trump's defining buzzword.

"When politicians insult Muslims, whether abroad or our fellow citizens, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid bullied, that doesn't make us safer, that's not telling it like it is: It's just wrong," the president said. "It diminishes us in the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. And it betrays who we are as a country."

In taking on Trumpism, Obama acknowledged Americans' frustration, but urged them to direct it elsewhere when it came to presidential politics. Specifically, he asked them to look toward reining in the Wall Street investors, corporations and big money conservative donors that the Democratic field is targeting in their own campaign speeches.

"Food Stamp recipients didn't cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did," Obama said. "Immigrants aren't the reason wages haven't gone up enough; those decisions are made in the boardrooms that too often put quarterly earnings over long-term returns."

Always keenly aware of history and his place in it, Obama acknowledged his failure to prevent the current dark turn in politics while warning that it still had to be confronted. "It's one of the few regrets of my presidency — that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better," he said, even suggesting that a greater president like Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Delano Roosevelt might have done better.

With reasonably strong approval ratings and an ability to excite Democratic base voters, Obama will be one his party's most powerful spokespeople and fundraisers this year. He's likely to play both elder statesman and attack dog for the party's nominee and candidates for Congress and governorships.

Aware of that power, he's already begun leveraging it to push Democrats on gun control, warning he will not campaign for any Democrat who does support his gun agenda.

Clinton especially has tied herself to Obama's presidency, promising voters her presidency will Obama-plus. "America is better because of @POTUS' leadership. Proud to call him my friend. Let's build on his progress," she said on Twitter just before Obama's speech.

Her top rival for the nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was in the chamber for Tuesday night's address, has had a more complicated relationship with the president. Much like the liberal base he's tapped into, Sanders seems conflicted between embracing the president and being disappointed Obama did not go far enough in delivering the change he promised.

Sanders's normally very active Twitter account was silent during the two hours of Obama's remarks. "Tonight's speech was important. The president reminded us not to be afraid of change, but to wield it to improve the lives of all Americans," he tweeted after the speech.

It perhaps wasn't surprising that Obama's speech was about setting up a contrast with Trump and the politics he represents heading into the election. More shocking was that the Republican response seemed to hit the exact same theme.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a potential vice presidential nominee and the daughter of Sikh Indian immigrants, delivered an impassioned plea for civility that often sounded like a rebuttal to Trump.

"Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory," said Haley, a potential vice presidential nominee. "During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation."

While calling for a tough line against illegal immigration, she also stressed the importance "welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion."

In recounting her leadership after a mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, which included a successful bipartisan effort to remove the Confederate flag from state grounds, she echoed Obama's call for a less divisive political conversation.

"Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference," she said. "That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume."

True to that theme, there was a shocking lack of red meat in Haley's response apart from a token mention of Obama's "disastrous health care program" and a pledge that Republicans would " make international agreements that were celebrated in Israel and protested in Iran, not the other way around."

At one point she even asked Republicans to acknowledge that they too had fed Americans' frustrations with politics: "There is more than enough blame to go around," she said.

The Republican presidential debates are aimed at whipping up primary voters, but the Republican State of the Union response is aimed at a general election audience. In that context, it seems significant that Haley made considerable effort to distance the party from its most strident — and sometimes, most popular — political rhetoric. In doing so, she offered perhaps the most vivid preview yet of how a Republican nominee might try to pivot to the center if they can shake Trump in the primaries.

Trump, for his part, didn't seem too caught up in his starring role in the State of the Union across both parties.

"The #SOTU speech is really boring, slow lethargic — very hard to watch!" he tweeted.

As a point, I don't believe the absence of members of Congress from the State of the Union is appropriate. Whether you're running for office or not, not attending the State of the Union is just wrong, whether you like the President or not, it's just irresponsible. Attending the State of the Union is an important duty of members of Congress in my opinion. When you can't take that job seriously enough to show up, then you're not qualified to step to another one.

Shame on Rand Paul and Ted Cruz for not being there. Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio attended, good for them.

Nikki Haley burned Donald Trump in her SOTU response
Andrew Romano
January 13, 2016

Much of President Obama’s final State of the Union address was an implicit rebuke of the angry, nativist forces that have propelled Donald Trump to the top of nearly every Republican presidential primary poll.

But the American people didn’t just hear one anti-Trump speech Tuesday night. They heard two.

And the remarkable thing is that the other speech came from a member of Trump’s own party: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

Never before has a SOTU responder used the address to criticize his or her party’s presidential frontrunner. Which just goes to show how divided the GOP is right now — and how much anxiety mainstream Republicans are feeling over Trump’s continued dominance.

To be sure, Haley hit the usual marks in her response.

She criticized Obama, pointing to “a crushing national debt, a health care plan that has made insurance less affordable and doctors less available, and chaotic unrest in many of our cities” as proof that his “record has often fallen far short of his soaring words.”

She also claimed that a Republican president would do better.

“We would end a disastrous health care program, and replace it with reforms that lowered costs and actually let you keep your doctor,” Haley said. “We would make international agreements that were celebrated in Israel and protested in Iran, not the other way around.“

But the most memorable parts of Haley’s speech were the ones directed at The Donald and his followers.

“Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory,” Haley said. “During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation.”

Making it clear that Trump was her target, Haley immediately moved on to his signature issue: immigration.

“No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country,” she said. “I have no doubt that if we act with proper focus, we can protect our borders, our sovereignty and our citizens, all while remaining true to America’s noblest legacies.“

Haley is herself the daughter of Indian immigrants. But for much of her governorship — she was elected in 2010 and reelected in 2014 — she was hardly a civil rights crusader. During her initial run for governor, Haley even opposed removing the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the South Carolina State House, saying the flag was “not something that is racist,” but rather “a tradition that people feel proud of.”

Yet after 21-year-old white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-Americans at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church during a June 17 prayer service, Haley’s views began to change, and over the summer, she wound up leading the charge to take down the flag.

In her response Tuesday night, Haley pointed to that experience as a "lesson” for her party — and, in particular, its divisive frontrunner.

“In many parts of society today, whether in popular culture, academia, the media or politics, there’s a tendency to falsely equate noise with results,” Haley said. “Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.“

Haley is everything Republicans wanted in 2016: youth, diversity, inclusion. Trump is what they got. Her SOTU response was a reminder of what could have been.

Whoa! Wrong! When Republicans talk about "inclusion", which is a Democratic term for the Republican goal of unity, we're talking about unity of citizens, not more immigrants we don't need or want. Republicans have never sought out "diversity", we have always stood for equal rights and civil rights for our citizens and fought for over 200 years to achieve that and assimilation of immigrants into our culture and ways when Democrats would let them in against our will and best interest, not forcing US citizens to accept theirs. That's what Democrats have wanted to do to our country.

Most Americans want our interests put first. Any Republican who claims there's something wrong with our voices because we're standing up and speaking out against massive immigration and free trade treason is someone who needs to sit down and shut up.

How dare you, Nikki Haley? Shame on you.

As for the "youth", that just means you've not been on the Earth long enough to know better or have the gumption to tell the truth and just parrot the "Establishment" that invited you to speak to promote your own career, because the loud and angry voices are US citizens fed up with being betrayed, sold out, humiliated, impoverished and indebted by the very heart and soul of the disgusting Political Correctness you epitomized in your speech tonight. Oh yes, the Establishment will rave, the Media will send Kudos, and Luntz and Krauthammer will label it the best ever response to a State of the Union Address.

And that means, you didn't speak for US, Nikki, you sold US out.

Nikki Haley: Donald Trump has contributed to 'irresponsible talk'
18 minutes ago
by Taboola

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley defended her response to Tuesday's State of the Union, confirming to TODAY's Matt Lauer she was referring to Donald Trump as one of the "angriest voices" she mentioned.

"Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk," she told Matt in an interview Wednesday.

Gov. Nikki Haley: I'd 'sit down and talk' with candidates about running for VP

Haley angered some conservative pundits with her response to Obama's address by seemingly saving her sharpest criticism for those in her own party, particularly those running for the White House. While never mentioning anyone by name, she urged Republican candidates to tone down divisive rhetoric and urged Americans to resist "the siren call of the angriest voices."

Haley said while Trump was "one of them," others have contributed to the vitriol.

"There's other people in the media, there's people in my state, I think we're seeing it across the country," she said.

In her response, Haley also said the nation should welcome all "properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion," further angering conservatives who felt Haley failed to address their views.

While many Democrats praised Haley's address, so did a few conservative pundits.

Haley said that launching a full-scale partisan attack on Obama is not her style: "That's not me."

While she blamed the the president for dividing the nation "in ways we've never seen before" on issues including the economy, education and national security, Haley said Republicans also need "to look in the mirror" and own up for their role in the nation's failures.

"Republicans need to understand there are things we could do better that can help strengthen our country. I think it's important that Republicans look in the mirror and realize, we also are to blame," she said.

Asked if her response has had an impact on her chances being asked to be a vice presidential running mate, Haley said she hadn't given it much thought.

"I was given an opportunity to say what I think," she said of her role. But Haley said if approached by one of the candidates, "I absolutely would sit down and talk with anyone that wanted to talk."

Until then, she said she needed to focus on rolling out the South Carolina budget and the state of the state address she was scheduled to make next week.

Nikki Haley sure has turned out to be a real disappointment in a Lindsey Graham kind of way.

This is what happens in states that allow Democrats to vote in GOP primaries like in South Carolina.

While I've currently got no vested interest in defending Rubio or Haley, I will say that most constitutional scholars do not agree with your claim that Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen. Of course you already know that because he has been brought to your attention on numerous occasions with documented evidence. Yes, as things stand, minus a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Sen. Ted Cruz is eligible to be President of the United States. Furthermore, the experts agree that a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on the subject is extremely unlikely.

Their is a sickness within the Republican party - she does not get to speak such words w/o their approval. They better wise up or they will lose again and bring further decline to our nation as there are many opportunities for positive change with Mr Trump. He does not seem to be part of the globalists agenda, therefore they do not want him elected - disgraceful.

O has been aided and abetted by the Republican party's elected officials. Nothing every changes, he gets everything he wants and the monies to do it too. How many times do you hear impeachment and nothing gets done?

Haley: Yes, Trump is one of the 'angriest voices'
On Politics
David Jackson, USA TODAY 10:55 a.m. EST January 13, 2016

The morning after her televised response to President Obama's State of the Union speech, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley confirmed Wednesday that fellow Republican Donald Trump is among the "angriest voices" she denounced.

"He was one of them, yes," Haley said on NBC's Today show. "There's other people in the media, there's people in my state. I think we're seeing it across the country.

"But yes, Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk."

In her speech late Tuesday, the South Carolina governor said that, "during anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation."

Haley has criticized Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.

In her speech, Haley said: “No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country."

Trump responded by calling Haley "very weak" on immigration.

"I feel very strongly about illegal immigration. She doesn’t," he told Fox & Friends. Trump added that her taking shots at him was "interesting" given that she has asked him for campaign contributions in the past.

"Perhaps if I weren’t running, she’d be in my office asking me for money," he said. Campaign finance records show Trump has given Haley $7,000 in contributions since 2010.

'Very weak on illegal immigration': Donald Trump fires back at South Carolina governor after State of the Union snub

Colin Campbell
2h Jan 13, 2016
Real-estate mogul Donald Trump criticized South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) on Wednesday after she took a subtle jab at him the day before.

Haley gave the official Republican response to President Barack Obama's final State of the Union speech. Haley urged the public to resist the "angriest voices" and later confirmed that Trump was one of the people she was referencing.

"Yes, Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk," Haley said on NBC's "Today" show.

Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, responded by calling Haley "very weak" on illegal immigration during a "Fox & Friends" interview.

"I respond a couple of ways. Number one, she's very weak on illegal immigration. I've known that for a long time. But she's weak on illegal immigration. And she certainly has no trouble asking me for campaign contributions. Because over the years, she's asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions. So it's sort of interesting to hear her," Trump mused.

"So perhaps if I weren't running, she'd be in my office asking me for money," the billionaire businessman added. "But now that I'm running, she wants to take a weak side on immigration. I feel very strongly about illegal immigration. She doesn't."

One of the "Fox & Friends" hosts then asked Trump if he would select Haley as his vice president. Trump suggested that she wasn't a front-runner for his hypothetical ticket.

"Well, considering I'm leading in the polls by a lot, I wouldn't say she's off to a good start based on what she has just said," Trump said. "So let's see what happens. We'll pick somebody, but we'll pick somebody who's very good. But whoever I pick is also going to be very strong on illegal immigration. We've had it — we've had it — with illegal immigration, believe me, and a lot of other things."

Trump also praised South Carolina's voters, who weigh-in early during the Republican primary.

"I love her state," he said. "I'm there a lot. And by the way, I have a massive lead in South Carolina — we have a massive lead — and they're incredible people. And they feel like I do, believe me. Because they don't like what's happening in our country."

Nikki Haley, just like Trey Gowdy who supports open-borders Marco Rubio, has moved to the dark side!

Seems Nikki has forgotten the "loud angry people" are the ones who put her in office, thinking she would stand up to the Establishment which is destroying our country from within.


JWK

To support Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, or John Kasich is to support a continuance of Obama's illegal immigration tyranny which includes giving legal status and work permits to tens of millions who have invaded our borders, which panders to the Chamber of Commerce, the Club for Growth and our Global Governance Crowd

Trump fires back at Obama and Nikki Haley

After being a punching bag in the State of the Union, Trump counters with his own blows.

By Nick Gass

Updated 01/13/16 12:08 PM EST

Donald Trump got the distinct impression from Barack Obama's final State of the Union that the president doesn't like him much. Not that he cares.

The real estate mogul on Thursday hit back at both Obama and at South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who also warned about the dangers of Trump's rhetoric during her GOP response, though also not by name.

Trump, calling in to "Fox and Friends," denounced Obama's speech as the words of a man "living in a fantasy land." When co-host Steve Doocy remarked that it does not appear the president likes him, Trump responded, “I would say that’s probably true. He probably does not."

"You know, not very important to me, but I would say he probably doesn’t," the Republican candidate and poll leader said, reiterating his disdain for the president's failure to acknowledge "radical Islamic terrorism" after the San Bernardino attacks and other threats.

"He's living in a fantasy land. I think this man is living in a fantasy land," said Trump, who added that while "perhaps he was talking about somebody else, but some people think he might have been talking about me.” ("Sure sounded like it," a co-host remarked off-camera.)

Trump featured prominently and repeatedly in Obama's address, even though the president didn't utter his name. He hit at the real estate mogul and other GOP candidates for playing into Americans' base fears and ignoring the great strides the nation has made.

"Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction. What is true — and the reason that a lot of Americans feel anxious — is that the economy has been changing in profound ways, changes that started long before the Great Recession hit and haven’t let up" Obama said. He continued later in the speech, "That’s why we need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong."

It wasn't the first time Obama has implicitly called out Trump, who has zoomed to the top of the polls in early states and nationally as he has churned out incendiary proposals and heated rhetoric. He kicked off his campaign in June by calling for a giant wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, and a wake-up call about the "rapists" that Mexico was sending across the border. He again upended the race when he called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, after the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.

Obama in early December condemned Trump just days after he rolled out his anti-Muslim plan. He used a speech honoring the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery to say, "Remember that our freedom is bound up with the freedom of others, regardless of what they look like or where they come from or what their last name is or what faith they practice."

Less than two weeks later, Obama again hit at Trump, saying in an interview with NPR that the real estate mogul was doing so well because he was exploiting the anxieties of "blue-collar men."

The president drove that message home on Tuesday night. "When politicians insult Muslims, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid bullied, that doesn’t make us safer," Obama said . "That’s not telling it like it is. It’s just wrong. It diminishes us in the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. And it betrays who we are as a country."

In the Republican response to Obama's address, Haley, who has been the subject of much speculation as a potential vice-presidential pick, warned Americans against following "the siren call of the angriest voices" in the country.

“Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices,” Haley said on Tuesday, adding that she is "the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every day how blessed we were to live in this country.”

Obama throws some SOTU elbows at Trump

Haley on Wednesday morning acknowledged Trump was one of the people she was singling out. "He was one of them, yes. He was one," Haley told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today." "There's other people in the media, there's people in my state. I think we're seeing it across the country. But yes, Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk."

Trump, a master of the counterpunch, let loose on Haley Wednesday morning. He attacked her as being "very weak on illegal immigration" and surmised that if he were not running for president, she would be asking him for campaign cash.

"But she’s weak on illegal immigration, and she certainly has no trouble asking me for campaign contributions, ‘cause over the years she’s asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions. So, you know, it’s sort of interesting to hear," he said on "Fox and Friends." "Perhaps, if I weren’t running she’d be in my office asking for money. But now that I’m running, she wants to take a weak side on immigration. I feel very strongly about illegal immigration. She doesn’t, and I think the people in her great state, I love her state, I’m there a lot, and by the way I have a massive lead in South Carolina. We have a massive lead. They’re incredible people, and they feel like I do. Believe me. Because they don’t like what’s happening in our country.”

As far as the prospect of a Trump-Haley ticket? Don't count on it, Trump said.

“Well considering I’m leading in the polls by a lot, I wouldn’t say she’s off to a good start based on what she has just said," he said, when asked about the prospect of picking Haley. "So you know, let’s see what happens. We’ll pick somebody, but we’ll pick somebody who’s very good. But whoever I pick is going to be very strong on illegal immigration. We’ve had it. We’ve had it with illegal immigration. Believe me—this country, and a lot of other things, especially when you look at what’s going on, at the Iran deal and all of the money that goes out and we get nothing for it. So we’ve had it with a lot of things in this country."

Let us not forget it was House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, two traitorous Establishment Republicans, who picked Haley to deliver the GOP response to President Obama’s final State of the Union address.

JWK



Let us not forget this coming election the betrayal by House Republicans and Senate Republicans who voted in favor of Paul Ryan’s Bill to finance Obama’s invasion of our borders!

By Robert Costa and Philip Rucker January 13 at 7:41 PM

The celebration by Republican elites was instant, and so was the backlash on the far right.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the youthful daughter of Indian immigrants, had delivered a sunny and inclusive Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address that stood as an unmistakable counter to her party’s two presidential front-runners.

But Haley’s moment and its aftermath revealed an uncomfortable reality for GOP leaders. Even as they praised their chosen representative for condemning the polarizing politics fueling the rise of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, the currents of the 2016 race still churn against the establishment.

Conservative talk radio and social media lit up with contempt for her critique. “Trump should deport Nikki Haley,” commentator Ann Coulter tweeted. Rush Limbaugh accused Haley of taking part in a GOP conspiracy to “drive conservatives out of the party.”

And Trump, predictably, slammed her as soft on immigration and hypocritical. “Over the years, she’s asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions,” he said on Fox News Channel.

What initially was hailed as a breakthrough for a party struggling to assume control of its image and message — Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee, said Haley displayed “courage you can count on” — became a fleeting episode that called fresh attention to the establishment’s limits to do so.

With just 19 days until the kickoff Iowa caucuses, party leaders are tiptoeing around Trump and Cruz — nervous about agitating them and their supporters, fearful that their hard-line views on immigration and other topics could lead to general election defeat, and uncertain about how to deny either the brash billionaire mogul or the combative senator from Texas the nomination.

“There doesn’t seem to be a plan for how to deal with Trump. They’re afraid,” said William J. Bennett, a top official in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. “Instead of taking him on directly, they’re making vague, diffuse references.

“What’s worse,” he continued, “is that this leaves them in a position to be thumped by Trump. This is not the way he talks or campaigns and he’ll hit them right back as fuzzy and weak.”

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) selected Haley to deliver the party’s nationally televised response. Haley embodies the kind of party Ryan in particular is trying to build: even-tempered, reform-minded, pro-business and open to minorities.

“She clearly is a terrific advocate for an inclusive, younger, solution-oriented Republican Party,” said former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.).

Speaking Tuesday night from Columbia, S.C., Haley urged Americans to resist the temptation “to follow the siren call of the angriest voices” and to make everyone in the country feel welcome. The remarks were widely viewed as a clear reference to Trump’s immigration-related proposals, which include a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.

Haley also said Democrats were not solely responsible for the failures in Washington. “There is more than enough blame to go around,” she said. “We, as Republicans, need to own that truth.”

Ryan and McConnell reviewed the text of Haley’s speech before her delivery, but there was no coordination to use the setting to attack Trump, their aides said. “Governor Haley did a great job with the speech. She had the pen and didn’t need much input from anyone,” Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck said.

Tim Pearson, Haley’s political adviser, said the governor told Ryan she would deliver the response only if he agreed to let her say whatever she wanted to say.

“There was nothing in the speech that she didn’t want in there and there was nothing that she wanted in the speech that didn’t get in there,” Pearson said. “It was all hers.”

Outside operatives said they suspected otherwise.

“Many conservatives feel that even though she’s a good governor, she probably got some of her talking points from the establishment,” said Kellyanne Conway, an adviser to a Cruz-allied super PAC. “It was an attempt to undercut Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.”

During Haley’s speech, a focus group of general-election voters assembled by Republican pollster Frank Luntz responded positively — more so, he said, than for any State of the Union response in a decade.

“She did exactly what the average voter would want from her,” Luntz said. “She was magnanimous and responsible. But neither attribute plays well in a right-wing Republican primary. . . . The danger for the Republicans is that they are caught between an uncompromisable base and an unforgiving general electorate.”

This tension was on display throughout the evening. As members of Congress assembled for the State of the Union, Trump was rallying his faithful inside a college gymnasium in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He warned of the dangers posed by illegal immigrants and foreign refugees. Putting on his glasses, he gave a dramatic reading of a song about a woman who invited a snake into her home only to be bitten.

Publicly, party leaders are reluctant to fully reject Trump and Cruz’s brand of politics. Privately, however, they are in nearly universal agreement that Haley’s compassion represents the right approach, both politically and morally.

“You can’t begin to imagine how many moods were lifted as a result of listening to her remarks,” said Al Cardenas, a former chairman of the American Conservative Union and a longtime Jeb Bush ally. “People went, ‘Yeah, that’s who we are.’ It was uplifting, it was timely and it was very well delivered.”

Haley’s speech — coupled with her leadership last year in the wake of the Charleston church massacre and her removal of the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds — could put her atop the list of possible vice presidential candidates.

Haley, 43, was first elected governor in 2010 as a tea-party favorite and a figure outside of her state party’s establishment. National GOP leaders have since embraced her, but she began her career as someone who railed against the institutional party in both her state and elsewhere.

“When you ask people to describe what a Republican is, overwhelmingly they say things like ‘rich,’ ‘white,’ ‘old,’ ‘grouchy’ and ‘male,’ ” said GOP consultant Katie Packer Gage. “Nikki is very, very accomplished, she’s very articulate and makes a great case for conservatism. And she doesn’t look like what people expect a Republican to look like.”

Gingrich went so far to suggest that Haley would make a good running-mate for Trump. He said that despite their obvious differences — “Haley is a very positive person; Trump is by nature a confronter” — the two share much in common.

“Trump is articulating what an enormous amount of Americans think and feel — and most of it Nikki Haley wouldn’t disagree on,” Gingrich said. “She’s for legal immigration; look at Trump’s wife. They both want to move power out of Washington. They both want a country where everybody gets ahead.”

Stop Pandering. Newt, do really believe Donald Trump is going to pick any of these political hacks to be his VP who smile through their speeches as they talk about about murders, terrorists, illegal immigration? I don't think so. These are not Smiley Issues. Haley spoke in a voice, demeanor and with words the way someone might make a presentation at a Kids Camp Orientation. Sorry, but even without the digs on Trump and Trump supporters, "the angriest voices" she was attacking, her speech was not a grown up adult Rebuttal Speech against someone who many believe is the worst most destructive President in US History.

As a professional woman, I DO NOT WANT this pandering to anyone, let alone a Governor who screwed up, deserves every word of criticism coming her way, because she's a woman.

And Newt, go do your professorial research you're supposed to be so great at. Haley isn't even eligible to be a contender for Vice President because she's not a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen, under Article II, is born in the US as well as a child of two US citizens. STOP all this craziness with the first this or first that. Look what you do to our elections vying for the first "Hispanic" this or the first "female" that or the first "black" whatever. When you earn it, it doesn't matter what or who you are. This targeting candidates for opportunities BECAUSE of their gender, race or ethnic origin is a failed strategy. and it is just wrong, wrong, wrong. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of natural born citizens, born in the US to 2 US citizens, who are black, female, white, asian and/or of Hispanic, Indian and other ethnic origins. These are not the qualifications or criteria to run for an office or to be selected for an appointment or selection to an office, let alone offices as important as President and Vice President.

We need the best people and of them, whatever their race, religion, ethnicity or other turns out to be. We need straight tough talkers with amazing backgrounds and experiences of achievement and accomplishment, who have the sense to know you don't smile through an entire speech about issues that are destroying our country and killing Americans.

These are not Happy Times, these are Terrible Times. So far, there's only one person in the race who gets it, and Nikki Haley tried to tear him down. She failed, but that doesn't excuse her attempt to discredit the front-runner of the Republican Primary. Shame on her and there is no way of excusing it.

Lisa Hagen writes at The Hill:

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is right that he is one of the “angriest voices” — but Trump said that’s a good thing for America.

“She is right. I am angry, and a lot of other people are angry too at how incompetently our country’s being run,” Trump said Wednesday night on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Outfront.”

“I don’t care, let her refer to me. As far as I’m concerned, anger and energy is what this country needs,” he continued.

Haley, who’s considered a leading contender for the GOP vice presidential nomination, confirmed earlier Wednesday that she was referring to Trump in her Tuesday rebuttal to President Obama’s final State of the Union address.

In her speech, Haley called on Americans not to listen to “the siren of the angriest voices.”

Trump on Wednesday said Haley “is a very nice woman,” but panned her stance on immigration.

“She’s weak on the subject of illegal immigration,” Trump said. “Nothing at all against Nikki Haley.”

Cristina Marcos and Scott Wong report in The Hill:

Conservative Republicans ripped the GOP establishment on Wednesday for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s criticism of Donald Trump.

A day after President Obama’s State of the Union address, more people were talking about Haley’s GOP response — and her warning that Republicans not “follow the siren call of the angriest voices” — than anything the president said.

Many interpreted Haley’s criticism of Trump as an attack by the GOP establishment on the outsider candidates who have turned the party’s primary race and conventional political thinking upside down.

“I think the establishment needs to quit bashing Donald Trump as much and listen to what he’s saying,” said Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus who hasn’t endorsed anyone in the presidential primary. “Because some of the things he’s saying is resonating with the American people, or he wouldn’t be at the percentages of the polls that he is.”

Haley was invited by Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch *McConnell (R-Ky.) to deliver the address, though Ryan’s office said it had little input in its content.

In her speech, Haley said Republicans were partly to blame for Washington’s dysfunction.

[…]

Haley, seen by many as a potential vice presidential pick for the GOP, acknowledged her comments were aimed partly at Trump.

In an interview with local reporters, she said the Republican presidential front-runner’s call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants compelled her to speak out.

“You know, the one thing that got me I think was when he started saying ban all Muslims,” said Haley. “We’ve never in the history of this country passed any laws or done anything based on race or religion. Let’s not start that now.”

At the same time, Haley said her comments weren’t directed just at Trump and that she had differences with other GOP presidential candidates as well.

“You know, Jeb Bush passed Common Core, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) believes in amnesty, which I don’t. There’s lots of things,” Haley said.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley says that Donald Trump isn’t the only presidential candidate that she has differences with.

In an interview with CNN, Haley said that she disagreed with Jeb Bush on Common Core and didn’t agree with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for supporting amnesty.

“When I see something wrong, I say it,” she said. “Jeb Bush passed Common Core. Marco Rubio believes in amnesty, which I don’t,” she said.

She said that Rubio, Bush, and Christie contacted her after the speech to share their support for her message.

When asked if Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was one of the “angry voices” in politics that she was talking about in her State of the Union address, she denied it.

She added that Donald Trump was a “friend” and that he shouldn’t take her criticism personally.

Haley also responded to critics of her response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.

“Look I can appreciate they’re angry. I said what I believe. I stand by what I believe,” she said. “My speech last night was not to win over anyone. I understand when I hit Republicans and Democrats that I was going to upset people.”

Haley said she was allowed by Republican leaders to say what she wanted to the country, and that they did not interfere with what she wanted to say.

“It was my speech, they let me write it,” she said.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was wrong to have trashed Donald Trump in her Republican rebuttal of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee tells Newsmax TV.

The former governor of Arkansas told "The Steve Malzberg Show" that Haley should have fully concentrated on tearing into the commander-in-chief’s speech instead of alienating her fellow Republican, who remains the runaway Republican presidential front-runner.

"I'm not sure why she needed to do that because it very well could be Donald Trump may be the nominee and if he is, then we need to unite behind him," Huckabee said Wednesday.

"The Republican National Committee has been very forceful in saying we have to all line up and agree that we're going to support the nominee and not be third-party candidates."

Huckabee’s comments came as some political pundits theorized that Haley was goaded by the RNC to rip into Trump, who many mainstream Republicans continue to dislike.

"If we're supposed to pledge loyalty to the RNC, then I have every expectation that the RNC had better pledge their support to whoever the nominee is," Huckabee said.

While Haley didn’t mention him by name, there was no doubt she was referring to Trump and his boisterous, shoot-from-the-lip style as she addressed the nation Tuesday night.

"Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume," Haley said.

On Wednesday morning she fessed up on the "Today" show, admitting she was referring to Trump, who she believes "has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk."

But Huckabee said he disagreed with the approach.

"I certainly understood when [Haley] was trying to say that we all have some responsibility for the tone and tenor of campaigns and the rhetoric. That's fair.

"But I also think her purpose was to respond to the president and be more specific in just pointing out that his comments on how great the economy is, how strong our military is. The president was making it up out of thin air because he just wasn't speaking out of reality.

"That could have been stronger because our purpose is to say, there's a real contrast. There's a difference between what the Democrats are doing and what the Republicans are doing, what they stand for, and what the results are going to be. I do think it's important that Americans know that difference."

He also believes Haley may have blown her chances to get a shot as the vice presidential running mate of whoever gets the nomination.

"I'm pretty sure she won't be on Trump's ticket," he said.

Asked by Malzberg if he would tap Haley as his running mate if he is nominated, Huckabee, who trails Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, Dr. Ben Carson and Jeb Bush in a new New York Times-CBS News national poll, dodged the question.

"I don't know her very well because she came into office after I had finished my two-and-a-half terms. So I just don't have the relationship with her that many others do," he said.

Trump, not one to shy away from anybody who goes after him, called Haley "weak" on illegal immigration and said he'd look for someone "better" to be his running mate.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday is proof that the party establishment "elites" want to drive conservatives from the party, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday.

"It's the first time in my life I can remember the response to the State of the Union not going after the president, but rather going off the front-runner of, in this case, her own party," Limbaugh said. "And it is quite telling to note where in the drive-by media and in the conservative media today she's being hailed."

Haley admitted she was "partially" talking about Donald Trump when she warned against the "angriest voices" in America.

On his show, Limbaugh called Haley's address "almost absolute proof … that the Republican Party's trying to drive conservatives out of the party."

But more than that, he said, the speech "expanded the theme of who is and who isn't qualified to be a Republican, and the Republican Party is still anti-conservative."

In addition to Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Haley also was referring to talk radio, Limbaugh said.

"She also means the conservative base, and don't believe anything other than that," he said.

"This is, to me, one of the greatest bits of evidence that the Republican Party is not just anti-conservative, but it is very much pro-elite," he said. "It is a club that they don't want a whole lot of people joining," even though Trump has put together a coalition of supporters that is exactly what the Republican Party claims it wants.

Haley next will endorse an "establishment" candidate – either Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – it mitigates gains by Trump and/or Cruz in Iowa and New Hampshire, he said.

Haley's speech was hailed by the establishment "drive-by" media, Limbaugh said, because, "When they can get Republicans to agree with them that Republicans are the problem, why, that's a red letter day."
