    Nikki fell back into place like an old doormat
  • @PBAJ10
    She is the personification of hypocrisy.
  • @ptr1537
    She is so fricking disappointing. Not a shock that she lost her spine. She could not carry Liz Cheney’s lunch pail.
  • @robert4art2
    She has proven the Count of Mostly Crisco correct--she IS a bird-brain.
  • @Rocklighting1
    I just lost faith in the republican parties last hope. Sorry GOP but you have officially jumped the shark.
  • This lady has some serious cognitive dissonance going on... She said, and I quote: "Our country cannot take 4 more years of Trump"
  • @luongv427
    Trump was spot-on when he called her bird brain.
  • @MightyMouse11
    Politicians are all the same. Sell themselves like a street Walker.
  • Selling her soul for political aspirations. Such a disappointment.
  • @hankfowler8194
    She is trying to climb the wobbly Republican ladder. Careful, the rungs are quite rotten and could break anytime.
  • @edwardmille8879
    I'm sure we'll see Nikki Haley at Trump's trial in New York wearing a long red tie.
  • @davidjones5547
    Why is this even news? Everyone knew that she was going to vote for Trump. They all do
  • @serablack-ff6tg
    So she is voting for a name not honor.... wow I almost made a mistake and voted for her...
  • They really do think they can fool everyone by just speaking out both sides of their mouthes. She's weak, she would have been a horrible choice.
  • @meegen2945
    So, she knew about Trump, but still vote for him. So, she pick her job or party above the country !!! How sad.
