What is sad is that there are still morons (like you) pushing the lie that Nikki is not her given name - as in actually on her birth certificate.
Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa to Punjabi Sikh immigrants. She has gone by her middle name, a Punjabi word for "little one," since well before she entered political life.
Haley was born to Punjabi Indian immigrants and was named Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Her legal middle name has this been Nikki since her birth -- she did not choose that name, nor did she "anglicize" her first name from Nimarata to Nikki.
Second, while Nikki is a common American nickname, it is a Punjabi one as well. As Tunku Varadarajan explained in a Wall Street Journal editorial, “'Nikki' is a Punjabi word that means 'little one,' often used as a term of endearment for the youngest girl in a Sikh family."
Finally, Haley did not adopt the name Nikki as a way to boost her political career, as she has used that name since long before she entered the political arena. For example, she identified herself as Nikki Randhawa in her 1989 high school yearbook. In 1997, she married Michael Haley and took her husband's last name, becoming Nikki Haley.
Because Nikki is a legal name given to her on her birth certificate with a cultural connection to her heritage, and because she has used this name all of her life, allegations that Nikki Haley "changed" or "whitewashed" her name are "False."

I honestly do not think he respects any woman enough to make one his VP.
Ouch! I do think he’ll nominate a woman. Someone young, pretty, and obscure who he can control yet get kudos for being open minded.

Weird attack. Also worth noting that she does go by her very American sounding middle name and her married name, probably because Nimarata Randhawa would have as successful a career as a Republican as Vivek. Vivek, who was assumed to be Muslim by GOP voters, and thus ineligible in their worldview.

If you have to explain it to the GOP base, you already lost the plot. Sorry.

Long overdue to pause or eliminate the work visas, HX1B and OXPT and F1 and H4, that allow US companies to replace US citizens with cheap foreign labor.
When the layoffs are increase, who really believes Zuckerberg when he claims he cant find a couple hundred programmers from the 3.3 million new US college graduates that the US produces EVERY YEAR.
The travel ban essentially halted the issuance of immigrant visas to the affected countries and restricted certain types of nonimmigrant visas, such as for tourism and business, though the protocol varied from country to country.
I hate it but Trump was spot on.
