Trump says he is angry at mess in US

Gov. Nikki Haley’s response to President Obama’s final State of the Union address Tuesday night is getting both praise and criticism, with much of the criticism coming from her own party.

Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter, for example, said “Trump should deport” her. That apparently was an uneducated slap at Haley, who was born in SC to parents who emigrated to Canada from India and moved to SC in 1969.

Haley urged the public to resist “the siren call of the angriest voices”, which she later admitted was an implicit shot at Trump as well as other people. In fact, given the context, she might have meant to refer not to immigrants at all, but merely to people visiting the country on ordinary visas-in which case she didn’t really say anything wrong at all.

“Look i can appreciate that they’re angry but I said what I believed, I stand by what I believe”, she explains. “And yes, I am angry”, Trump said. He was a supporter.

Haley also talked about the events that thrust her into the national spotlight last summer – the Charleston church massacre and the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the SC state capitol.

Trump: Certainly she’s a fantastic woman but it’s too early to tell but she would certainly qualify. “That’s what she delivered”.

“Trump’s response the next day will just be, ‘Well, you heard President Obama and the Republican leadership response echo each other, they’re on the same team.’ That’s his thesis”, said conservative Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia. “Just like we have for centuries”, she said.

Trump’s generations contributions to Haley may explain why in 2011, when Trump was fielding a 2012 presidential run, she said Trump was a “serious candidate”. “I have a lot of admiration for the governor”, McDonough said Wednesday describing parts of her speech as “admirable”.

“Trump is articulating what an enormous amount of Americans think and feel – and most of it Nikki Haley wouldn’t disagree on”, Gingrich said.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, joined in selecting Haley for the rebuttal speech and approved her speech in advance.

“The future we want: opportunity and security for our families; a rising standard of living and a sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids; all that is within our reach”, Obama will say, according to excerpts of his speech released in advance by the White House.

At about 10:29 a.m. ET, Costello brought up Governor Haley’s speech after guest Errol Louis recalled that President Barack Obama had complained about divisive politics.

But no doubt they also will be mapping out the paths to the presidency that various candidates may or may not be able to pursue successfully – and Trump should figure in those discussions. “So I’m in the camp of saying, yes, we need to be careful of letting the voice of the Republican Party be someone who thinks that all immigrants are rapists or drug dealers”.
