It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Trump picked Haley...
She’s far different and more capable than the current VP.
Or Ron DeSantis
Same here.
FReepers are going to grumble but Trump is going to need more than just his devoted base if he wants to win. He'll need to make peace with the establishment GOP wing of the party and he'll need to appeal to moderate/suburban/female voters. And that means he's probably going to make some decisions with regard to his running mate that people here aren't going to like.
No matter who he chooses, I expect FReepers to be disappointed by Trump's VP pick. Fact is, he's not stupid and he knows he's going to need to choose someone who brings the independent/moderate swing voter back home, someone who can help him flip the key battleground states that he won in 2016 and then lost in 2020. Nikki Haley is a strong contender is this regard.
I tend to agree. Trump is very very poor at picking his allies. His back is so full of knives he looks like a porcupine.
He razzed the heck out of Cruz for being a Cubamerinadian...and he at least had one U.S. citizen parent at birth, whereas Nikki McRomBush scores a zero on that NBC test.
She can’t win. However, if she’s lucky, she might pull out of the pubbie POTUS nomination race after a few months with a new nickname from Trump for her trouble.
I hope not. She’s a flip flopping RINO. Listen to her announcement. She goes directly to identity politics, talking about her town being divided by a railroad track. That’s not on my list of things to be fixed. It shows a lack of intellect. She does not know how to prioritize. It shows a disconnect with Republican voters.
