Former President Donald Trump has been asking allies and advisers for their thoughts about Nikki Haley as a potential vice presidential candidate, two sources familiar with the conversations tell CBS News.

The feedback from the MAGA crowd regarding putting Haley on the ticket if Trump wins the GOP nomination has been overwhelmingly negative, according to these GOP sources. Politico first reported that Trump allies are working to quash the possibility of a Trump-Haley ticket.

FakeNews

[JZelle]

Will he ever learn?

[Tom in SFCA]

So was he supposed to NOT ask?

[Syncro]

NO!

[CodeToad]

No freaking way!

[bigbob]

Always take Trump seriously, but never literally. This is a premptive manuever, aka “head fake”.

[Uncle Miltie]

Don’t do it!

She’s a Deep State plant!

[wildcard_redneck]

I want to vote for Trump but if he picks Haley I don’t know.

Trump can pick anyone as his VP, he doesn’t have to pick one of the misfit toys that the GOP has thrown at him.

..... HA ..... See BS (cbs) ..... Nuff said ......

This is from cBS.

Will we ever learn?

[broken_clock]

Can’t hurt to ask but President Trump please don’t touch the third rail!

[Freest Republican]

Next!

Without DeSantis and Nikki Bush-

who can we expect the sabotage Trump crowd to latch on to next?

Gov Sanders is the best choice not only as VP but successor to MAGA-the anti Trump folks won’t be latching onto her.

[hardspunned]

Yep, no doubt fake news. Let’s hope few take the bait.

[dforest]

Don’t even believe this. He has no intention to put a person he calls birdbrain on his ticket. This is a rumor to harm Trump.

[Allegra]

…two sources familiar with the conversations tell CBS News.

It just doesn’t get more credible than that, does it? :)

[albie]

Noooooo

[Alberta's Child]

Nikki Haley was officially eliminated from any consideration for VP by Trump when he tagged her with the "Bird Brain" nickname.

Kristi Noem is my top pick -- and likely the top contender -- for Trump's running mate.

[TheConservator]

This HAS TO BE disinformation, in an effort to demoralize the base.

[silent_jonny]

"... according to these GOP sources"

Uh-huh.
