Monday's Marvelous Absurdities: Nikki Haley Makes a Solid Point About Trump - or Does She Really?

Now that Mike Pence has blessedly withdrawn from the GOP presidential nominating contest, the role of official mascot for the DC warmonger lobby has fallen to ex-UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. Since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel 3 weeks ago, Haley has made a series of proclamations that would make Little Lindsey Graham blush with embarrassment.
