“She’d still probably be the choice who, more than any other possible pick, would help Trump win in November.”

No she is not; Rich.

[Verginius Rufus]

Trump might as well pick Liz Cheney as Nikki Haley. The other defeated candidates have mostly come out for Trump and some have been trying to help him. She came out with some kind of weaselly statement to the effect she would vote for him, but she doesn't really support him.

More important than the (probably negligible) impact a VP pick will have on the election is having someone who could be a good President if the President died or was killed. (That was Lincoln's big mistake in 1864, putting Andrew Johnson on the ticket.) Haley would never have a chance of being elected on her own because she wouldn't ever be able to convince people she would make a good President.

She is the only person on earth that can turn the south blue.

What kind of idiot writes this stuff?

That was my first thought.

[alloysteel]

Why would anyone think, that Trump would need help to make even marginal gains in his support this fall? The VP selection rarely if ever makes a difference in the demographics, even for Democrats, And Trump is enough of a force of nature to carve out his own path on demographic considerations.

Trump’s choice will be based on who can continue the MAGA program after he leaves office.

In your dreams,,,,JD Vance is the man.

[EinNYC]

Icky Nicky. NO.

[stockpirate]

Ha, ha, ha....too funny

[CommerceComet]

If Nikki Haley is the answer, the wrong question is being asked.

[rktman]

Well heck rich, why no Gabby? Fidiot!

[DAC21]

Wondering how much $$$$ Mitchie got for tossing this out there?

[mass55th]

No thanks Rich. You run for President and choose her as your running mate if you want her so bad.

[Kaneman]

Don Surber coined “passive-aggressive pansy” to describe Lowry.
He led the #NeverTrump group in Feb. 2016 at National Review. “Pansy” doesn’t do his brand of p**sy justice.

Please, God forgive me, but my initial reaction is.... Barbra Streisand BS, bull hockey crap...and I’m being polite.

[central_va]

U are still butt hurt.

[Texas Fossil]

Nope, Not Going To Happen.

No matter how much the Globalists pukes want it.

She is FAKE.

[Lazamataz]

The name of this author sticks out to me. I think I recall Rick Lowry as a particularly loathsome RINO / Bush / McCain type.

[HamiltonJay]

If Trump were to pick her, or some other establishment hack like her, he’d lose more support than he’d gain, this is the establishment trying their best to create reality.

[FLT-bird]

ROTF! Neocon Nimrata is thankfully done. Her political career is over.

[edwinland]

Maybe Liz Cheney already declined?
