Nikki Haley can stay right where she is, thanks. If she joins Slick Willard’s failure train, she’ll lose every ounce of respect I have for her, which is quite a bit at the current time.

I agree. Besides, I’m not sure why someone who could hold an important office for another seven years would ever give that up to run for an inherently unimportant office.

Besides being “not worth a bucket of warm piss” in John Nance Garner’s immortal words, the Vice Presidency is grossly overrated as a stepping stone to the Presidency. Of the 14 Vice Presidents who later became President, only five did so without having their Presidents die in office or resign, and only three of them have done so since the ratification of the 12th Amendment.

Before Freepers wish for their favorite candidates to run for Vice President assuming that they’ll have the inside track to the top job, they should brush up on their history.
