Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and all of the wealthy establishment donors are openly lobbying Trump to place their golden girl on the ticket.
Lara Trump said in an interview when asked about Nikki Haley on the Trump ticket: "Never say never".
Trump himself has said that he gets along well with Nikki and that she did a good job as UN ambassador
This would be a nation ending mistake if Trump wins the general election against Biden and then the elites do a redux of JFK and then Nikki Haley automatically becomes President.
6 months ago I would have said no way but now I am at least a little concerned.
I am very concerned for one major reason. You don't have people like Donald Jr, Matt Gaetz, MTG and Tucker Carlson come out and say Nikki Haley is a terrible idea openly unless Trump was seriously considering her.
I hope he has the sense to listen to Donald Jr over Ivanka on this topic.
His favoritism for Ivanka is a key reason why he makes terrible fucking staffing choices.
I actually think it's less likely now than it was 6 months ago. Her entry into the race was useful to him as a way to weaken DeSantis, but now that she's in striking distance of 2nd place he may see her as more of a threat. You can see his attitude towards her get worse over time.
The establishment has been astroturfing and boosting Haley recently more than ever.
Six months ago they attempted to do so with Tim Scott as their favorite.
They have since moved on to Nikki in the meantime.
Koch Bro's Americans for Prosperity and RINO NH governor Chris Sununu both endorsed Nikki Haley in the hopes that they can get Trump to pick her for V.P in exchange for their support.
Haley's odds of becoming Trump's V.P. have increased recently not fallen.
