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.

Trump needs all the states he won in 2020 and then some. Writing off some of the Southern states by picking Nikki would be colossally stupid. Unfortunately as a New Yorker, Trump may not understand Southern attitudes.
Nikki has the magic touch.
As governor of the first state to join the Confederacy she trashed their history in a orgy of virtue signaling.
As a member of the Boeing Board of Directors she helped turned a formerly outstanding company into a dumpster fire.
Then she blew $100M of campaign contributor funds in the second worst dollar per delegate performance in US history—Jeb Bush remained number one.
I would not hire her to take my trash to the curb. She probably would feed it to the local bear instead.
The same agencies that propped up Biden’s lies and hid his crimes, will see Nikki undermines and works for the other side, until she takes the reigns.
She’s into Defense money as it is.
As Mark Levin said he doesn’t need someone like a Nikki Haley who is going to backstab him for 4 years and spend the whole time running for President. And as The Red Eye guys said last night he doesn’t need a VP pick to help him win. He’s doing really well already.
Lowry = Michael Steele of yesteryear.
His only worth to the Dems is in claiming he’s a Republican voice.
While I may have certain views (🤮) of Ms. Ambassador to the UN (US out of the UN), and disappointments with her earlier statements of not “Running if PRESIDENT TRUMP is running” (The LYING B*tch 🤮)...I do not wish to disparage the dishonest, lying, racist, narcissistic former Presidential Candidate (🤮).

No. She doesn’t think. She immediately called Vivek “scum” for pointing out her own hypocrisy.
Not no, but HELL, NO!
Pence II...no thanks!
Rich is a RINO’s RINO.
You mean ANOTHER check from Soros!
Concern troll article - pure nonsense.
To replace Harris?
NEITHER OF HALEY’s PARENTS WERE USA CITIZENS WHEN SHE WAS BORN.
SHE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN—CAN NEVER BE
SHE IS AN ANCHOR BABY.
WE HAVE MILLIONS OF THOSE.
This is a straight up MIC New World Order Military psyop operation and social steering attempt. Anyone who would even consider this option is COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR MIND.
BS.
“What kind of idiot writes this stuff?”
Military psyops intelligence operators working for the MIC. And we have a few of our very own right here who will actually agree with this concept.
Nikki and Rich deserve each other.
