Wow, I didn't see that coming... and I really liked her in that position, too.

Apparently she told Trump 6 months ago that she wanted out, but would serve to the end of the year.

Trey Gowdy to replace? He'd be hell on wheels at the UN. Oh, my yes.

Rumor Mill Buzzes About These Possible Haley Replacements

Nikki Haley is leaving her post as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations with a lengthy list of accomplishments. She's helped rein in Iranian aggression, moved progress on a denuclearized North Korea, assured Israel we have her back, and overall just gained the U.S. more respect on the international stage. She was by all means a class act.

She became a conservative hero for delivering powerful speeches defending America's interests. One of her most memorable speeches is when she told the other member nations that the U.S. was "taking names" on those who refused to stand with them.

Now that she's leaving the high profile post, rumors are swirling over her successor. Here are a few names that are gaining traction.

Dina Powell, a former Goldman Sachs executive who served in the Bush White House and State Department, and later as Trump's Deputy National Security Advisor, was one of the first names to be uttered as the next possible UN ambassador. In the Trump White House, she worked closely with Ivanka Trump in the areas of entrepreneurship, economic growth and the empowerment of women

Not that this is proof of anything but Haley did just go boating with Powell.

Then there's Richard Grenell, the current ambassador to Germany. He already has eight years of experience of working at the UN.

John Bolton. The current national security advisor had the title of U.S. ambassador to the UN once before. Could he be itching for the post again?

Why not Ivanka Trump? CNN's Jim Sciutto noted Tuesday that it was already unprecedented" for the president to appoint his daughter as a senior adviser. Why not continue the trend at the UN? "Anything's possible," CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston agreed. In her resignation announcement, Haley praised Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner for their efforts behind the scenes.

I don't know anything about those other people... and I'm addicted to Nikki's outspoken ways.

I want another ass kicker in there calling a spade a spade. Trey Gowdy fits the bill and would give him further Street Cred to run for Pres in '24 if Pence doesn't run.

I remember there were a couple of ideas of hers that I didn't like... guess I'd better research her again. Was it illegals and abortion?

I hope not. I guess I’m reacting mostly to her take no prisoners attitude, packaged in a smart, savvy woman.

In a White House that leaks like a sieve, I find it difficult to believe she told him six months ago...

Oh. Nimrata Randhawa (Nikki Haley) Is an Indian-American. Call me what you want. I trust those snake-eyed people about as much as I do Arabs.
