Nikki Haley’s Call for Mental-Competency Tests Is a Stunt

Ilike Nikki Haley. I don’t give her presidential bid much of a chance, but I think she’d be a fine president — far better than the one we have now and better than most we’ve had for the last three decades. She’s got a better shot at the bottom than the top of the ticket, and even if she falls short of the vice-presidential nomination, she should be well-positioned to be a significant player in the next Republican administration, ideally starting in January 2025.

Unless she goes clown-show, that is, in which case she’ll make herself irrelevant in a hurry.
