What Is Nikki Haley Even Talking About?

Mark Leibovich: “At the end of the night, Sununu stood to Haley’s left as she faced a clot of television cameras and microphones and shouted questions from reporters. She is good at this too—parrying pointed inquiries with self-assurance, then moving on before anyone can really reflect on what she said, or didn’t say.”

“But Haley’s sturdy pronouncements belie a certain wobbliness. Wait, what did she say exactly?”

“Beyond her expertly rendered deliveries, Haley’s actual answers can be mushy or even nonsensical, with strange constructions and frequent malaprops.”
