Trump campaign considering Nikki Haley as running mate, Axios reports
Reuters ^ | 05/11/2024 | Staff

Posted on 05/11/2024 6:47:28 AM PDT by thegagline

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is under active consideration by Donald Trump's campaign to be his running mate, news site Axios reported on Saturday, citing unidentified people familiar with the situation.

Trump could pick Haley if he were convinced she could help him win the presidency, avoid a potential prison sentence and cover tens of millions in legal bills if he loses, the report said.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor and a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, ended her log-shot challenge to Republican presidential frontrunner Trump in March.

She said it was likely Trump - who repeatedly belittled her candidacy - would be the Republican nominee but did not endorse him.

Axios is such a reliable source. Just a little too much bad blood between Nikki and The Donald.

Just do not see this happening. Tulsi Gabbard is more believable.

Latest is that she will not even endorse him.

In this day and age, saying something will NEVER happen, especially when it comes to politics is an opinion that has shown by past history to not hold up.

So then, you think it could be DeSantis.

Key passage:

Just part of the ds strategy (disinformation), short of a shiv or poisoning in jail...

I doubt it. She won't help and is clearly not a natural born citizen. Gabbard isn't either, but that is a matter of law, she was born in AMERICAN Samoa of an American parent and an American Samoan parent, a US citizen and a US national. I don't necessarily like Gabbard's politics, but she would help Trump--woman, veteran, person of color, likeable, etc. Haley is not many.

Maybe Sarah Huckabee Sanders? She'd help.

Definitely NOT Noem or any sitting senator. They won' help.

Trump picks good looking women, so again my pick--despite politics--is Gabbard.

This is one of the few ways he could legitimately lose the election.

There are several million ways he could IL-legitimately lose the election, none of them his fault.

I’m not sure I could vote for a ticket with Haley anywhere near it. RINO personified.

He will pick someone with no political career. The Vivek guy is the most prominent of them.

Mostly he is going to make “I have been co-opted” noises all the way to inauguration, and it is then the Swamp will come under attack. All he needs is 1/3 of the Senate MAGA to prevent removal via impeachment.

A fairly large portion of the base would stay home if they had to vote for Bird Brain as next in line for president. I don’t believe the article for a minute.

Haley looked like a good governor and she spoke very well at the UnitedNazis. Having said this, I doubt the Republican voting base will be very enthusiastic about supporting anybody who ran against President Trump, even if he selects him/her.
