She responded it was about “basically how the government was going to run."

    Nimarata Nikki Randhawa doesn’t want to use her real name and Rafael Edward Cruz doesn’t either.

    Some family values. What are they trying to hide from us?

      She’s gone by Nikki forever, and her married name is Haley.

      There’s a ton of legitimate reasons to criticize her - let’s stick with those.

      Though honestly I’m probably going to vote in the Republican primaries this round to vote for her over Trump. I’m confident the Dems of the ballot will be people I can live with, so I might as well try to influence the Republican ticket.

      Especially because I live in a state that’s voting GOP no matter what.

        It’s not a criticism, it’s denoting hypocrisy and we should be highlighting it as much as possible

          How are nicknames hypocrisy?

          You know Biden’s first name isn’t really Joe, right? And Clinton’s first name was William. And Dwight Eisenhower went by “Ike.” And Bernie’s name is Bernard. And a dude named Edwin walked on the moon while going by “Buzz.”

          It’s fine to have a nickname.

      In fairness she’s married to Michael Haley. It was only the right wingers that insisted on calling Obama Barrack Hussein.
