It would not surprise me if she had decided some months back to leave at the end of the year, and then postponed the announcement due to the anti-Kavanaugh hatefest.

Sounds good to me. The timing of an announcement is not the same as the making of a decision.
Geraghty, I think, is right that she wants to announce it now in the “eye of the storm” before the Dem hurricane picks up again, and then be clear of any speculation about “jumping ship” if the GOP goes down in the midterms.

She is one of my favorites for a potential nominee in 2024.

As for all the praise for Kushner, maybe Trump is setting him up for 2024; America’s first Jewish president. Where the Israel/Arab war is concerned, as TommyJay says, good luck with that. That is liable to blot Kushner’s copybook. King Arthur will find the Holy Grail sooner than that war will be settled, because the Arabs don’t want a state, they just want to kill Jews until there are none left. No room for compromise there.

This is a little off-topic, but I’ve wondered a couple times here that Trump is maybe, just maybe, some kind of wizard of “strategery.”

It’s believable that he’s great at managing the media, and even that he’s great political communicator, but he just doesn’t have the demeanor of a genius. But Jared Kushner does.

Kings had consuls, mafia dons had their consiglieres, George W. had Karl Rove, and Obama had Valerie Jarrett. So is Kushner the wizard?
________

When Trump won the election, other than himself, he credited Jared Kushner as the key to the win.

When Trump finalized a trade deal with Mexico rather quickly, we learned about the much tougher negotiations with Canada. Experts said it could be a year or two before a deal is made. While not a perfect win, it was done in about a month.

Trump held a media event about 10 days ago to celebrate the Canadian deal where he congratulated Robert Lighthizer for his success. I didn’t know that a serious player like Lighthizer was on Trump’s team. Then Lighthizer takes the mic. and said the deal couldn’t have been accomplished so well if it wasn’t for Jared Kushner.

Now Nikki Haley is saying it too.

Supposedly, this is all just a warmup for Jared Kushner fixing the Palestine/Israel conflict. Well, good luck with that.

Maybe it’s all just a massive suck up to Trump and Ivanka. But I don’t think Lighthizer would even care about that, and the trade deal was his wheel-house.

He resigned after 7 months. Jeane Kirkpatrick stuck it out for four years but made it clear to the Reagan people as early as 1983 if not earlier that she wanted a transfer to the National Security Council (a job she was never given).

I hope she remains in politics in some way.

That possibility occurred to me, as well. But it would require some change of heart on Pence’s part. I think it would be great, though, not that I especially dislike Pence.
