Interesting. And actually believable because Trump always picks terrible people. It’s his Achilles heel.

I still say he’s going to pick Nikki Haley.

Why?

Here's what a lot of people here don't realize. If he earns the nomination, Trump will already have the MAGA vote locked up. Putting a MAGA-friendly VP on the ticket isn't going to win him any new votes.

If he wants to win the General Election, as long a shot as that is, he's going to need to rally the moderates, the small 'c' conservatives, the independents, and the swing voters. He'll pick a VP that will help him with this demographic and these voters don't care about confederate monuments.

Nikki Haley is the obvious choice.

I was thinking something similar but DeSantis would be the better pick but he’s kind of destroyed that.

But then again Reagan did it with Bush Sr. It united the party.

This is how we got GHW Bush in 1980. That didn’t work out very well for us.
