How did it work out for Reagan after he chose H.W. Bush? After the shooting RR was never the same.

Short of Donald Trump being locked in a prison cell, few things would make the Establishment happier than to see Nikki Haley as Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election.
In recent days, the mainstream media has played up Haley’s supposed rise in the polls. Articles, such as one published by The Hill this week, claim that the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is “gaining ground” on President Trump.
“The survey, published Thursday by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center (SACSC), found Haley garnered 30 percent of the likely Republican primary vote, just 14 points behind Trump’s 44 percent support,” the piece at The Hill reads.
Despite Trump’s vocal lambasting of Haley during the campaign season, sources close to the 45th president say that, amid the polling, he has asked a number of people in his circle for their opinion on the possibility of Haley as a vice-presidential pick.
As Politico reports:
Her rise has caught the attention of the former president, who has recently quizzed people outside his campaign for their impressions of Haley, according to three people familiar with the conversations.
“What do you think of Nikki?” Trump has asked.
As the outlet notes, Trump has also asked his associates for their views on other potential VP choices, including Ben Carson, Tim Scott, J.D. Vance, Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik, Kristi Noem, and Kari Lake. Haley, however, has recently been the biggest object of his focus, even while publicly he has shot down the notion of a Nikki Haley surge.
“Where’s the Nikki Surge?” he wrote on social media earlier this month. “I hear about it from the Fake News Media, but don’t see it in the Polls, or on the Ground.”

Where does he show he actually has any governing skills or any administrative skills for that matter?? His sole skill is “look at me! look at me!”

I’m not strongly for or against Tucker. However, I believe he is a co-founder of the conservative site Daily Caller. He’s also well respected by most of the conservatives I know. And as far as his presumed lack of governing and administrative skills, could he be worse than the poseur who was in Congress 36 years before being elected with Obama?

PDJT needs to pick someone as far away from the D.C. beltway as possible...one of his golf course managers would be fine:

Doesn’t Kristi have a Lewandowski problem?
Not just no, but hell NO!
MTG a better choice.

Tucker’s an observer. He rarely tells you what he’s for, just what he’s against. Perhaps he’s changed in that regard recently, but not enough IMO. He’s risk averse. He likes to criticize from the sidelines. I don’t know how comfortable he is when people hit back.
I see what you did there.
If he insists on a woman, I wouldn’t have an issue with Noem-despite her flaws-or Stefanik
No Haley, no Kushner. I could live with VP DeSantis.
Might as well be Dubya as Rhonda Santis.
Abso-freaking-lutely not!
