As someone connected enough with South Carolina to be of a family that received a land grant from the king, I've been watching Ms. Haley for a while.

In truth, I suspect that the things that should have no effect on her campaign, her birth name and turban-wearing Sikh father are the things that will end her.

For quite a while the photos of her father attending her gubernatorial inauguration seemed to have dropped off of the internet. But not doubt, showing her family portrait in her announcement was intended to head off the issue.

Does she know what MAGA is about?

Thank you, Caren.
