PC104 - A Leader Who Leads
Did you get to watch the first Republican debate? I’d go so far as to say that the debate stage was filled with boys acting like children playing in the sandbox. The only adult on the stage was a woman—Nikki Haley. A former diplomat, Nikki Haley served as the 29th United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018. She also formerly served as the Governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017. I believe that we need a competent, experienced, and compassionate leader who knows exactly what they’re doing and what they’re going to do—and we have an opportunity to have that kind of leader by supporting Nikki Haley.
In this episode, I share my notes and observations from the first Republican debate. I discuss why Nikki Haley is our best option for the presidency and share her stances on reproductive rights and foreign policy. I also explain why following the debates is important for everyone and highlight the characteristics we need from the next President of the United States.
“We need a competent leader who’s going to lead. We need a leader who has intellect, experience, and compassion.” - Jennifer Nassour
