She seemed the smartest and most competent person on the stage, with a knowledge of 
how government works AND foreign policy. She was the anti-Vivek. 

Haley was also a truth-teller, more clearly identifying the origins of expanded government
spending over the last 6 years--but only up to a point.

Saying she would support Trump were he the nominee seemed to take it all back. That's indirectly
endorsing the Big Lie (or saying it and its consequences were not really consequential) and 
condemning the justice system trying to protect the US from an incompetent and also seditious 
former president. At least Christie and Hutchinson came down on the side of principle. 

The moderators never asked if any candidates still thought the election 
was stolen. Wonder if that was deliberate.
