CBS writes: “The Republican response to the President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening appears to rebut… some of the policies espoused by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to excerpts released by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin.” According to Ryan’s excerpts, it seems as though Haley will focus particularly on chastising Trump’s call for curbing immigration: I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every day how blessed we were to live in this country…My story is really not much different from millions of other Americans. Immigrants have been coming to our shores for generations to live the dream that is America…Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. Haley’s declaration that “no one who is willing to work hard… should ever feel unwelcome in this country” articulates the central principle of the open-borders philosophy. In essence, this policy formula means that any willing employer should be able to hire any willing worker regardless of the country in which they reside. Under this theory, there is no limitation whatsoever to the amount of labor that can be imported into the country and, thus, there is no preference given to American citizens for jobs. Republican leadership’s decision to rebuke Trump’s policy positions may seem surprising given the recent polling data. According to Rasmussen, 65% of conservative voters say the United States should not let in any refugees from the entire Middle East– the point of view Republican leadership is presumably attacking with its State of the Union rebuttal. Yet Ryan’s strategy for the Republican Party’s State of the Union response seems consistent with GOP leadership’s longstanding practice of demeaning its own voter base. Indeed, this is not the first time the Ryan wing of the Republican Party has sought to rebuke Donald Trump’s immigration plan. Donor-class favorites Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Paul Ryan have both essentially suggested that Americans cannot restrict the large numbers of Muslims migrants resettling within America. In a November interview with Sean Hannity, Ryan said curbing Muslim migration is “not who we are.” Similarly, in a separate interview, Marco Rubio told Hannity, “We’ve never had a religious test, and I would just say to you that to have a religious test would violate the Constitution”. In contrast to Haley’s call for continuing large-scale visa issuances, conservative heroine Phyllis Schlafly, who recently expressed her full-hearted support for Trump’s presidency, declared that it is time to pause immigration: If we don’t stop immigration, this torrent of immigrants coming in, we’re not going to be America anymore because most of the people coming in have no experience with limited government. They don’t know what that is. They look to the government to solve all of their problems, and as soon as we have a high majority of people who think that, it’s going to be a different country…” Indeed, the Senate Immigration Subcommittee issued a chart book today detailing how if visa issuances are not curbed, the U.S. will issue more green cards in the next ten years than the population of Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nikki Haley’s state of South Carolina combined– effectively nullifying the electoral impact of those states’ voters. Haley, however, is not the first South Carolina politicians to push immigration policies that would nullify the electoral power of its own constituency. For instance, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who has pushed for citizenship for illegal aliens, along with Gang of Eight member Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and immigration booster Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), all represent South Carolina voters as well. 
A new CBS report ahead of President Obama’s last State of the Union address details how the Republican response– delivered by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley– will serve as a rebuttal to the policies of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. The new report seems to underscore prior reporting from the Washington Post that “Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is rapidly emerging as Republicans’ anti-Trump.”

Makes sense. What Trump says that makes him so popular is a LOT more of a threat to the alleged Republicans than anything their brothers in the Dim Party say. The Dims and the alleged Republicans have a sweet thing going,and neither wants to say or do anything that will rock the boat because that might result in an actual opposition party forming. Right now they are more than content to see an artificial "power change" every 8 years to keep alive the illusion of a Two Party State without any actual important policy changes being made as they play the old "2 steps forward,1 step back" game that has virtually destroyed our Republic. BTW,did anybody see or hear Haley on teebee this morning making the announcement that she was available as a VP running mate for anyone needing her? The quick assumption would be that Trump would be the exception,but let's not forget how that evil old bastard Poppy Bush attached himself to Reagan like the leech he really is in order to be in a position to take over and destroy all the gains Regan had made and to put the globalists back into power. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
I caught the gop rebuttal last night. Talk about automotons, Nikki was about as creepy-programmed as a woman could get. A Stepfordwife-esque performance, imo.
The Washington establishment Republicans are afraid no one will invite them to the cocktail parties if they're perceived as "mean-spirited". It's fashionable today to care more about illegal Mexicans and Syrian refugees/terrorists than American citizens.
Yeah, we're all in shock. You have to wonder who wrote that little speech. It was well-crafted. I noticed the preplanned accolades for its brilliance and her poise in delivery. I think she could have babbled incoherently and the fix was in that everyone in the Beltway that is anti-Trump (all of them) would immediately praise her. Which they did. This is one little attempt for the Beltway to try to throw some water on the raging Donald inferno in the GOP primary across the states.
You feel blessed to come here and live off what another culture has built and yours is incapable of building, but are we blessed to have you? Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who has pushed for citizenship for illegal aliens, along with Gang of Eight member Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and immigration booster Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), all represent South Carolina voters as well. South Carolina must be a wretched place to elect so many mindless parasites into positions that represent them and who are out to plague the rest of us. Is this retribution for losing the civil war?
The predominate attitude of the repubican party is to band together to try to save their position as pretentious parasites and screw-ups.
I could not force myself to listen to it all. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
Key word = preplanned "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD . . . " ~Psalm 33:12a
I can't believe that there still those of that accept these free tickets to observe the grandest Kabuki theater for the masses of them all. If you wish to watch mindless pap designed to misdirect your attention you are better advised to watch reruns of Penn and Teller. They at least they are creative and also tell you up front that they lie. Or perhaps shining objects better hold your attention?
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Their first choice, Tashfeen Malik was no longer available to give the rebuttal. She epitomized the values of the GOPe establishment. Iranian politicians love to scream "Death to America," American politicians work for the same goal. Non auro, sed ferro, recuperando est patria
I'm just waiting to see how it comes out. Outside of a Republicrat ass in the White House and dang near every seat in Congress, I really don't have a clue. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Are you under the delusion that I actually watched the SOTU or the GOPe response? Oh, hell no.
Oh, hell no. Whew!! For a sec I thought that you moved away from the light. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
