Dude, what are you smoking? I'll freely admit that Trump wasn't and isn't perfect but to put Haley and Trump in the same camp is absolutely insane - there is virtually no overlap in their supporter bases at all. If someone is even considering voting for Haley in the primary, then it is a virtual guarantee that person would vote for anyone else in the primary over Trump. The overwhelming majority of Christie's supporters almost certainly switched to Haley after he dropped out. And while some DeSantis people might swing to Trump if (or rather when) DeSantis drops out, my money is that if DeSantis manages to outlast Haley then well over 90% of her supporters will switch to DeSantis.
His point, and what he’s so scared of is that in Trump’s usual bad decision making when it comes to who he associates with, Trump is probably gonna make Haley his VP if he wins the nomination
I agree that would be disastrously stupid if Trump does it. Got to think it's unlikely though. Even with his bad personnel choices, Trump has to realize (especially after the fallout with Pence) that if he picks Haley as his VP he'll be lucky to be in office a month if he wins. All the D's will automatically vote to impeach him on anything and everything, and swaying enough R's to vote to convict will be a lot easier if there's a Neocon warmonger in the VP slot.
Heck, Don Jr said as much a few weeks ago, including saying "I wouldn't have her and I would go to great lengths to make sure that that doesn't happen". Sure, people can change their mind and/or Trump could just ignore that advice, but I think (or at least hope) Haley is a longshot at best for VP.
You are correct. Word is spreading in GOP circles that Trump will be selecting Haley as V.P.
The establishment wing wants Trump to pick Haley and they are promising him big donor money for doing so.
Trump in 2016 would have never picked Haley.
Trump in 2024 would pick her.
Trump in 2024 is an establishment candidate.
