Condoleezza Rice preemptively, publicly and categorically took herself out from consideration more than a month ago, as well as Govs. Nikki Haley (SC), Susana Martinez (NM) and Mary Fallin (OK), though Fallin is expected to speak at the convention... That Condi was approached again at this late time shows the paucity of candidates in her league left for consideration, to enhance the ticket.
Trump said on more than one occasion that Nikki Haley was NEVER considered. I doubt too, that Susan Martinez was either. Condi Rice? Would have been an interesting pairing, but it may have been like oil and water, and no chemistry or loyalty. I would like to see her in his administration in some capacity.
I think on the one hand, our side has a plethora of talent, their’s nothing.
It’s clear our side has been using the usual hacks since REagan left, led by the Bushes and the Romney’s.
The Time’s They Are a Changin.
