Establishment Angling for Trump/Haley Ticket, but MAGA Says “No” to Nikki
The New American ^ | December 23, 2023 | Luis Miguel

Short of Donald Trump being locked in a prison cell, few things would make the Establishment happier than to see Nikki Haley as Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election.

In recent days, the mainstream media has played up Haley’s supposed rise in the polls. Articles, such as one published by The Hill this week, claim that the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is “gaining ground” on President Trump.

“The survey, published Thursday by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center (SACSC), found Haley garnered 30 percent of the likely Republican primary vote, just 14 points behind Trump’s 44 percent support,” the piece at The Hill reads.

Despite Trump’s vocal lambasting of Haley during the campaign season, sources close to the 45th president say that, amid the polling, he has asked a number of people in his circle for their opinion on the possibility of Haley as a vice-presidential pick.

As Politico reports:

Her rise has caught the attention of the former president, who has recently quizzed people outside his campaign for their impressions of Haley, according to three people familiar with the conversations.

“What do you think of Nikki?” Trump has asked.

As the outlet notes, Trump has also asked his associates for their views on other potential VP choices, including Ben Carson, Tim Scott, J.D. Vance, Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik, Kristi Noem, and Kari Lake. Haley, however, has recently been the biggest object of his focus, even while publicly he has shot down the notion of a Nikki Haley surge.

“Where’s the Nikki Surge?” he wrote on social media earlier this month. “I hear about it from the Fake News Media, but don’t see it in the Polls, or on the Ground.”

The establishment is pushing for Haley for the same reason they pushed for Pence. They will have an insider to stab him with.

George H.W. Bush for Reagan. Ford for Nixon. Cheney for W. Pence for Trump.

Never again.

Trump would be better off, picking someone, from his rallies, to be VP, than Nikki Haley. Or any other candidate, for that matter.

I kinda like that idea though Boebert will get the Sarah Palin treatment times ten.

No Deep State moles in the second Trump Presidency.

They caused enough trouble in the first one.

Then we'll have to call them out on it.

Justice Thomas described his 1991 confirmation proceedings as “a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.”

If you go on the offensive and force the media to be accountable, it'll backfire on them. That's what happened during Clarence Thomas' hearings in 1991.

I think Senator Marsha Blackburn would be a great choice.
