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.”

“ They will have an insider to stab him with.”

If they can’t keep Trump off the ballot with criminal charges, Nikki as VP is in the WH. Knock off Trump and their deep state candidate is in.

That’s like a UTI is better than gall stones.

“Trump should pick Lauren Boebert.”

‘I could handle that.’

What, exactly, are you writing here?

Trump has made many bad personnel decisions but choosing that skank as his running mate would probably be his last.

Trump should pick Boebert or any other female if his objective is to lose the coming election.

Yes, Nikki for VP. Trump gets elected, gets impeached and removed from office and wallah! The deep state has another president.

I would prefer Vivek Ramaswamy over Nikki. He’s smarter, tougher, and better on the issues.

Why does no one seem to like the possibility of Ted Cruz? Or Tucker?

Yes, seems to me he’s willing to stand and fight for conservative principles. If he has strong negatives I like to know what they are.

Tucker’s a ‘talking head’! Where does he show he actually has any governing skills or any administrative skills for that matter?? His sole skill is “look at me! look at me!” typical for an entertainer. Which is all he really is!

I would like to see Ted Cruz stay in the Senate and push aside the remaining GOP Old Bulls. Take McConnell’s place maybe!

Was she? She’s not my choice unless it helps get 45 elected. I prefer Vivek or Ron.
