I'm at a Nikki Haley "Indian Voices for Trump" event, where @opinionbazaar is introducing some pro-Trump arguments I've not heard outside this setting: Trump "never once interjected himself into the Kashmir issue," and if Trump loses, China is more likely to go to war w India.
Folks... 
Haley's shorthand history of herself and Trump (understandably!) leaves out her 2016 criticism of him. She says she first interacted w him after her 2010 primary win: "He had sent a support check, it came in a big white envelope with gold trim, and it said: You’re a winner."
Event's geared toward Indian-Americans, audience is diverse but mostly white - Haley's talk about her heritage included some factoids about Indian-American achievement more geared to latter. Asked how Biden would hurt Indian-Americans, delivered the standard campaign message.
Asked what Trump is like as a person: "He listens. If ever I thought he was going in a direction I didn't agree with, I could call him and meet with him."
Big takeaway from that was that there’s a very compelling way to talk about Trump’s foreign policy record, emphasizing how he ignored CW and acted on things the “establishment” wrung its hands about for years.
