Would have loved to have seen DeBlasio's face. Bet he was stewing. The speech was a winner for sure.

OMG. She killed that room. Fantastic performance. Holy crap, she’s going to be President someday. The dems must hate her.

She certainly is charming, and has proven herself to be smart.
I would love to see her keep moving forward. Perhaps the Senate? Then?

Sometimes when I look at her my mind jumps directly to Angie Harmon.

For the next 6 years, she needs to build her fortune, earn chits on the campaign circuit to cash in later, work out the kinks in her presentation, build stamina, etc.
If one is a public official, there are limits to your finances, contributions, but a private citizen is free of those things by and large. Her wealthy supporters can give her money without awkward public disclosure or criminal potential.
She can work on building up a staff of trusted assistants and advisers, supporters in various states, increase her Rolodex.
It’s a long way up the greasy pole, and it takes a village.

I really think she will run for President at the end of Trumps second term, she has it all.

That was good, and refreshing to hear jokes about Trump which are respectful.

That was awesome. The silence at some of her comments says it all - The lefties had to have steam coming out of their ears. A camera pointed at the crowd would have been beautiful.

She is very easy on the eyes and I don't think her political career is over yet.
“Mayor, remember as a member of the UN delegation, I do have diplomatic immunity,” she said. “You’re all familiar with diplomatic immunity? It’s an exemption from prosecution, but as Mayor de Blasio calls it: a sanctuary city.”
As de Blasio cringed in his seat and most of the audience clapped, she then picked up a glass and deadpanned: “Oh look, I got the mayor’s drink by mistake, there’s no ICE!”
Haley also took a shot at the lax campaigning of Hillary Clinton — who was not in attendance — during the 2016 presidential election. She quipped that Clinton “will go trick or treating … everywhere” this Halloween — except Michigan and Wisconsin.
“The president called me this morning and gave me some really good advice,” she said. “He said if I get stuck for laughs, just brag about his accomplishments. It really killed at the UN. I’ve got to tell you.”
Haley, who is Indian-American, then joked that charity organizers “wanted an Indian woman” as keynote speaker, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) “failed her DNA test.”
“Actually, when the president found out I was Indian-American, he asked me if I was from the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren,” she said to laughter.
