As far as we know, Nikki Haley isn’t on the short list, nor on the long list. There’s no indication that she’s being considered as Donald Trump’s VP pick, and Trump forcefully smacked down a report in Axios that the campaign was looking at her.
She’d still probably be the choice who, more than any other possible pick, would help Trump win in November.
By conventional rules, the former South Carolina governor getting the nod would be so obvious as to be completely unremarkable — she’s the runner-up in the nomination fight; she represents a different faction of the party; she provides demographic balance; she has executive and foreign policy experience; and she’s ready, to the extent this can be judged by resume and experience, to be president. Paint-by-numbers politics would make her a top contender, if not a shoo-in.
If, that is, she hadn’t criticized Trump in harsh and personal terms during her primary campaign. It’s one thing to criticize another candidate’s tax plan; and another to say he’s “diminished,” “unhinged,” “saying things that don’t make sense” and “not qualified” to be president. Any nominee would have a hard time swallowing those types of gibes, and Donald Trump is, shall we say, more sensitive to slights than most.
Trump gave as good as he got, turning what should have been a celebratory event the night he won the New Hampshire primary into an anti-Haley revival meeting.
All of this, though, is why her selection would be a shock and a potentially galvanizing moment in the campaign — it would show Trump to be willing to forgive and forget and put aside his personal feelings in the cause of saving the country from a second Biden term.

Who WAS Rich Lowry?
What kind of idiot writes this stuff?
Nikki McRomBush.
Just call her Nikki Cabot Lodge.
Was and is a crapweasel.
[Dr. evil]how about, NO [/Dr. evil]
Haley?! conservative98, are you looking for the most outlandish predictions? This is probably top.
Ah Hell no.
Nikki is a military shill. She can’t be VP or the swamp will never listen to Trump. They will create a background president and just give Trump lip service.
She’s only slightly more trustworthy than Hillary Clinton. Plus, she has impeccable globalist credentials.
I think I’ll pass.
The NEOCONS NEVER SLEEP!! They always try to slip in their operatives.saboteurs. Let’s hope Trump has learned not to trust these snakes.
“Nobody picks VPs better than your favorite President, me. Haley will be a big, beautiful VP selection. Big supporter of our wonderful friends and Greatest Ally Ever Israel too. Big, big pick we’re talking here. Can you believe the fake news media, calling her an Indian? Just because I want green cards for the 3rd world doesn’t mean anything folks! I mean, I can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and still win.”
She’s got the biggest knife to stick in Trump’s back .... think Pence on steroids & in a skirt.
Lowry gets the best drugs—LSD, DMT, Coke.
When you mix them all together you get articles like this one.
;-)
GRODY TO THE MAX!!!!!
lol the express
Indeed. And she'll do it a LOT quicker than Pence did, like on Inauguration night.
