Nikki Haley doesn't cite slavery as cause of the Civil War after question at campaign stop

She responded it was about “basically how the government was going to run."

Former Texan here. Bring up the fact (and it is a fact) that the creation of Texas and its subsequent fight for independence was 100% slavery. Enjoy the fireworks.
Texas "was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which [Texas] people intended should exist in all future time"
Gee, what a hard question to figure out from historical sources, guess we'll never know what they were thinking...
It is a mystery.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa doesn't want to use her real name and Rafael Edward Cruz doesn't either.
Some family values. What are they trying to hide from us?
She's gone by Nikki forever, and her married name is Haley.
There's a ton of legitimate reasons to criticize her - let's stick with those.
Though honestly I'm probably going to vote in the Republican primaries this round to vote for her over Trump. I'm confident the Dems of the ballot will be people I can live with, so I might as well try to influence the Republican ticket.
Especially because I live in a state that's voting GOP no matter what.
It's not a criticism, it's denoting hypocrisy and we should be highlighting it as much as possible
How are nicknames hypocrisy?
You know Biden's first name isn't really Joe, right? And Clinton's first name was William. And Dwight Eisenhower went by "Ike." And Bernie's name is Bernard. And a dude named Edwin walked on the moon while going by "Buzz."
It's fine to have a nickname.
It's not having a nickname that is the problem. The problem is using a nickname to sidestep racism that she is perpetuating by affiliating with a racist group.
What a brain dead way to say you don't understand the situation
In fairness she’s married to Michael Haley. It was only the right wingers that insisted on calling Obama Barrack Hussein.
She knows where her racist, lost cause bread is buttered.
It's not a lost cause for the candidates. These fuckers can loan their campaigns money at 20% interest legally and just pocket their contributors' cash.
They can also write books and easily make money there too.
It's a cash grab.
Aside from the obvious racist subtext to her answer, it's pretty shocking how completely incapable she is of stringing a coherent sentence together.
How old are you??

FREEDOM TO DO WHAT, NIKKI? FREEDOM TO DO WHAT
The freedom to have the freedom to tell people about freedom and the freedom you have.
"Fweedom"
with tip-toing like that, i was expecting her to do a pirouette!
She doesn't know. She's a moron.
Or she does know but wishes to spread willful ignorance for power
If Nikki Haley is having a townhall in your area please take the time out of your day to ask her this question. She should be required to answer this everywhere she goes.
"Basically how the government was going to be run..." in regards to WHAT, Nikki?!?
It's like everyone who tries to defend the Rebellion has never read the CSA Constitution. It's pretty obvious it was about slavery.
It was only about slavery, wasn’t it?
