Sadly I doubt we are rid of her, I think she will replace Jeff Sessions.Good riddance.
I entirely agree with your comments.I think we will see Nikki Haley again. Politics is in her blood. (She was governor of South Carolina for 8 years.) She would make a great presidential or vice-presidential candidate. Of course, she is also a woman.
She's got balls, she said she wasn't going to run for Prez down the road. Maybe she figures Trump will win again if he runs.I think we will see Nikki Haley again. Politics is in her blood.

Actually she said in 2020, she has plenty of time further down the road.She's got balls, she said she wasn't going to run for Prez down the road. Maybe she figures Trump will win again if he runs.
And then there was that sexual assault she committed 36 years ago.Nikki Haley's resignation comes one day after an ethics watchdog requested an investigation into her acceptance of free flights on private jets
United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's abrupt resignation on Tuesday came one day after an ethics group requested the State Department's inspector general investigate her acceptance of seven free flights aboard private jets.
Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, listed the flights on her 2017 financial disclosure and asserted that each qualified for an exception based on her relationships with the trio of businessmen who provided them.
But the group suggested that Haley did not provide enough information to assert that exception.
United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's abrupt resignation on Tuesday came one day after an ethics watchdog group requested the State Department's inspector general investigate her acceptance of seven free flights aboard private jets from a trio of South Carolina businessmen.
Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, listed the flights on her 2017 financial disclosure and asserted that each qualified for an exception based on her relationships with the businessmen.
But the group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said in its complaint that Haley's financial disclosure did not provide enough information to make the assertion that the flights between New York, Washington, DC, and three South Carolina cities qualified for the exemption.
Those flights were most likely worth tens of thousands of dollars, CREW suggested.
"Whether the exception applies depends partly on whether the three businessmen were the only sources of the gifts; if business entities were sources of the gifts, the exception was inapplicable," CREW said. "Federal ethics regulations prohibit employees from soliciting or accepting gifts given because of the employee's official position."
The three businessmen who provided the flights to Haley and her husband were Jimmy Gibbs, Smyth McKissick, and Mikee Johnson. Gibbs is the CEO of Gibbs International, and McKissick and Johnson are CEOs of private companies in South Carolina.
"By accepting gifts of luxury private flights, Ambassador Haley seems to be falling in line with other Trump administration officials who are reaping personal benefits from their public positions," CREW's executive director, Noah Bookbinder, said in a Monday statement.
Tom Price resigned as the secretary of health and human services last year amid a controversy involving his air travel. Other top Trump administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, have come under fire for their air-travel practices.
Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, noted on Twitter on Tuesday that Haley's resignation came after CREW filed its complaint.
Haley's resignation caught Washington, DC, and the diplomatic community by surprise. She announced her departure less than a month after the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Haley was one of the foreign-policy and Washington establishments' favorite Trump administration leaders. Some had even speculated that she would soon run for president.
In announcing her resignation alongside President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Haley knocked down any speculation that she would run for president in 2020, saying she would campaign for Trump.
"It has been an honor of a lifetime," Haley said of serving as UN ambassador.
In the meeting, Trump told reporters that Haley told him about six months ago that she would want to depart from the job after serving for two years. He added that she would stay on through the end of the year.
"She's done a fantastic job, and we've done a fantastic job together," Trump said.

Nikki Haley's resignation comes one day after an ethics watchdog requested an investigation into her acceptance of free flights on private jets
Highly doubt either that the investigation will go anywhere (it isn't as though she attempted to hide the flights), or that there is any connection apparently she has been talking about it for months. The shock seems to be more caused by the fact it didn't leak.Nikki Haley's resignation comes one day after an ethics watchdog requested an investigation into her acceptance of free flights on private jets
Yes, the rats are deserting the ship.Methinks this is about striking while the iron is hot. She has a million dollar mortgage, 250,000 credit line, other debt, one kid in college and another soon to be.
She can get a cushy 7 figure position, a few board seats, and some speaking gigs. Spend 4 years clearing the decks and setting up retirement.
Then come back in 2024, or 2028 when there is no incumbent and take a shot if she wants to.
Add in a book, timed to a campaign.
