South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says she would consider being the vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party this year.
The rising political star revealed that she is open to the possibility in an appearance on NBC News’ “Today†show Wednesday, a day after delivering the GOP response to President Obama’s final State of the Union address.
“If a candidate wanted to sit down and talk, I would sit down and talk,†she told host Matt Lauer. “I think that’s a big decision. It’s a family decision. It’s a state decision. It’s something I’d have to think about. But I absolutely would sit down and talk with anyone that wanted to talk about it.â€
Despite speculation that Haley is being prepped to join the Republican ticket, she said that she has not given the prospect much thought even if people in the media do not believe it.
It’s worth noting that her speech the night before did not merely target the Obama administration. She warned against the siren call of the country’s angriest voices and said Republicans share the blame for our current state of affairs and should look in the mirror.
"I was given an opportunity to say what I think, and I appreciate that from Speaker [Paul D.] Ryan and Senator [Mitch] McConnell,†she said.
It’s likely that the Republican establishment tapped Haley to deliver the SOTU response not simply to criticize Democrats — but to distance the GOP from its current frontrunner, Donald Trump, whose dominance in the polls continues unabated.

My concern as well. Yeb is not too bright. His comment that he would lose the primary but win the general, might have been tipped cards rather than a blurted absurdity.
No way Trump or Cruz would have her now no matter how Not Guilty she is:-)
For who, Bernie?
Not long after Folks’ claims, Larry Marchant, a South Carolina lobbyist and consultant, said he had a one-night stand with Haley during a conference in Utah in 2008. According to The State newspaper, divorce lawsuit papers in 2013 between Marchant and his former wife inferred that he had an affair with Haley, but she was not mentioned by name.

I have no use for Haley’s speech last night but this guy was and is a Democrat fraud. After he bravely came forward to disclose his affair, he was asked when and where it happened. The idiot said he couldn’t remember either. Please check what you post before spouting garbage like this as factual. The other guy you mentioned is a joke too.
Haley's liberal true colors were well apparent long before yesterday's speech. After the Charleston shootings, she joined the stray dog chorus of liberals and NAACP types who were yammering for the Confederate Flag to be taken down from the state capitol.
She just took orders from the RNC. Trump needs to sit down & read this crowd the riot-act.
You just knew the GOPe had a quid-pro-quo in here.
She and Jeb Bush would make a perfect team. Did you notice—shes a woman! Only a woman can beat Hillary Clinton!
When Jimmy Fallon, on The Tonight Show recently asked Donald Trump the job interview question: "What do you believe is your greatest weakness?" His answer was telling: "I NEVER FORGET."
Needless to say, when TRUMP wins the Republican nomination for POTUS he will not "forget" the dissing, trash talk this RINO wench said against him and his policies before a national wide audience.
"Stick a fork in her, she's done", finished, kaput. Sadly, she is too full of herself and deluded to realize it.
Nikki Whatchee shows herself to be the Barack Obama of the Republican Party.
Not on Trump’s ticket.
How out of touch can you get? Amazing.
Lost in all of this is the real reason why they chose to pick out the Confederate Battle flag rather than what that nut job used to murder those poor souls at that church.
WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG
AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this.
It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commies like Stalin with the Kulacks through racial division.
Through the use of The Bully Pulpit It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; Victims of an evil society (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,hispanics, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported ?cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a; Now!,Now! or a tsk!,tsk!.
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s ?manifesto.
The reaction was....Well we cant let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !
Well they’re doing a good job of perverting what that battle flag represented at the same time ignoring the very mentioning of the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents.
Even so, just judging by the postings here to defending Trumps typical reaction to any criticism implied or direct will draw a personal response from Trump which never addresses the political issue at hand but a suggestion that the attacker is personally deficient. Trump Chumpions supporting his attacking Haleys rebuttal makes me wonder who they will vote for once Trump does not make the ballot.
Such as with Fox news Kelly; Misoginy and comparing the news treatment of Sara Palin. Instead on CNN, suggests Kelly was in her “period”.
Or his confrontation with Jorge Ramos when he could have brought up Mexican claims on US states as well as their 2nd class treatment of retirees who can’t vote or own property there, Let alone what the Mexicans do with illegals. Those issues went ignored with his can’t we be friends dismissal .
And before his challange to Haley. Should have told those Brit politicians off who wont let him in because of his position on Islam instead threatens disinvestment.
Alas while I find this serious flaw with this candidate. It is also true no one in the chain of command wants to admit that the nut job while he may have a posting with he being pictured with the CBF. Had nothing to do according to his testment with his insanity driven murders at that Charlestown church. Because it is expedient not to hold the regime accountable for its use of the Bully Pulpit creating racial division .
"Be careful that the toes you step on today aren't attached to the ass you may have to kiss tomorrow".
If she had aspirations, she blew her chances all to hell with last night’s disgraceful response to the democrats which wasn’t.
I do not know if she has had affairs or not. I do recall there were a whole bunch of telephone calls and/or text messages with some guy (I forgot the name) that would be hard to explain.
“If she is the VP candidate I am staying home.”
I can’t agree with not voting. We need to win State elections. I do agree about not voting for Nikki, we don’t need the presidency that much as to put a traitor in to office who would only undermine our cause.
Nikki’s failure to defend Southern history and tradition in favor of the opinion of a bunch of racist simply means she not only has bad judgement for unwittingly served said racist. It also suggest she doesn’t support the the kind of heroism and commitment to heritage and the independent spirt we need now more than ever.
We don’t need or want her in the presidency, and we really don’t need or want the presidency to reform Washington either. The Presidency at best offers temporary solutions to a long term problem using the very power that is the problem. That power must be destroyed and/or transferred to the States where it can be held in check by interstate Completion.
This is why strategically to accomplish our Goals of Constitutional accountability and education of our people we need State legislators NOT the presidency. That is why our real battle is not for the presidency its for our State legislators. We won’t win this war by winning the presidency. We need 34 State legislators to call a convention. We have to bring accountability to the Federal Government, We must Teach Constitutionalism in the Public schools again, if we can accomplish that then the war is ours. The left knows this(as the ACLU’s response to Abbot’s speech proves), shift power back to the States and its game over for socialism. The competitive accountability of the States makes socialism collapse on its own merits rather than enslave the people to support its wast and tyranny.
I was a fan of Nikki until she betrayed us to the left by taking down the Flag in favor of the opinion of a bunch of racist.
Nikki has bad judgement, and is likely to stab us in the back just like she did last night. That said our real battle is not for the presidency its for our State legislators.
We won’t win this war against Washington by winning the presidency. The presidency can at best give us temporary victory as we have seen. Ultimately the real issue is the lawlessness of that government, controlling the same with the presidency will not solve that problem.
We need 34 State legislators to call a convention and modify the Constitution as to restore Federalism by restoring accountability lost with the 17th Amendment, and subsequent Constitutional alterations by Federal employees in black robes.
We also need the State legislators to reform education as to start teaching our people American constitutionalism and the founding principles of self-reliance and individual liberty of Natural rights vs the newly created concept of ‘civil rights’ again.
The truth is contrary to Nikki’s words this is not the land of immigrants for the propose of being the land of immigrants but rather for the propose of being the land of the free.
A land where immigrants may come to be free, not to live freely on the backs of others, but to be responsible and able to live upon ones own back. Unburden to the fullest of ones potential.
It is not a “land of immigrants” this is the land of limited Government, to which immigrants seeking freedom of have come to live.
I once was impressed by Haley. Her speech was a national embarrassment.
The fact that Nikkie sided with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on the capitol Confederate Flag was enough to convince me that she’s basically Lindsey Graham with a suntan and a skirt.
