      A thought that's been niggling all week. If Pompeo is not confirmed, Nikki Haley may assume she gets the post.

      Adding that Haley remains, IMO, the person whose association with the Trump Admin has least damaged her stock.

          Which is why I am guessing she’d rather stay in NY.

          None of this takes away from your point (which I agree with), but she's been smarter politically than the rest, too. She's also been good at her job. She deserves credit for being "good" not just for "being good at not being bad" (IMO).

          If by "stock" you mean the ability to serve in a future national role, I would say that value is zero. As it should be.

          I think her reputation has been undamaged because she’s at the UN & not in the White House. Why would she want the reputation-destroying proximity when she gets what she needs from the UN job?

          So far..... because she's somewhat removed at the UN. If she becomes SOS that ends.

          She’s one of the few high level appointees who hasn’t been accused of trying to wet her beak. That’s helped her standing in the public eye.

          I view McMaster as the current measuring stick. Haley's giving him a run for his money, though. The one thing that's working against her is that she's still part of the administration.

          "Adding that Haley remains, IMO, the person whose association with the Trump Admin has least damaged her stock"...... yet. To be allied with Trump is to suffer reputational harm at some point.

          There seems to be a full court GOP press to spin her positvely. Even waaaay out here in the wild wild west of Nevada. No-we are not falling for it.

          And yet she’s totally cool with working for a guy who is being investigated for being compromised to the very gov’t she’s excoriating. What kind of mental gymnastics is she up to?
