Haley surely fouled up in answering the question about the Civil War, but she did admit her failure and say later that she knows the war was fought over the question of slavery, as it was. Meanwhile the enemy of the republic she is working to stop from becoming president next year just keeps giving people more evidence of how dangerous, incompetent, and probably unhinged he is. There are three ways to stop him. He can be convicted of one or more of his crimes (which might not do it even if it happened). Someone can beat him in the primaries and keep him from being the nominee, or a Democrat (probably Biden) can beat him in the general election. Haley being able to stop him in the primaries is a long shot, but neither the court cases nor Biden in the general election is anything like a sure thing. One might think that people really worried about Trump’s real threat to the country might cut those trying to stop him in the primaries some slack, assuming of course that their objective is to stop Trump rather that just shill for the Dems.

She did so because it was untenable for her to context her little charade, not because of any epiphany of integrity. Let's not accord credit where it isn't due.
