‘Not something our country deserves’

SC Gov. Nikki Haley will vote for Trump in 'embarrassing' election

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley re-affirmed her support for Donald Trump, despite what she called an “embarrassing” election.

“I think I have been really clear, this election has turned my stomach upside down. It has been embarrassing for both parties. It is not something the country deserves but it’s what we’ve got and so having said that, I will tell you is that this is no longer a choice for me on personality because I’m not a fan of either one. What it is about is policy…the best person based on the policies and dealing with things like Obamacare is Donald Trump. That doesn’t mean it’s an easy vote, but it does mean I am watching out for the people, of South Carolina and the people of this country and that is who I will be voting for,” said Gov. Haley.

Speaking at a news conference this week about her efforts to help aid South Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, Haley reiterated that her vote on Election Day will reflect who she believes will benefit South Carolina.

Haley said that when it comes to political appointments, nominations to the Supreme Court and a host of other issues, Trump is the better choice.
