    I certainly don’t have an issue with her continuing. I won’t even if she loses in her home state. I understand exactly what’s driving her now.

    She’s not stupid. She knows that she has no shot unless something catastrophic happens to Trump which is unlikely.

    That is why George Bush stayed in the race long after it was obvious that he couldn’t beat Reagan for the nomination. It worked for him. Haley is trying to do the same thing.

    Kamala can blackmail Biden, but Nicki cannot blackmail Trump. He’d tell her to get lost in public.

    There are a lot of Trump supporters who don’t understand politics and how this could happen

    No, she can’t. She’s too stupid.

    Okay, according to the new book, Amateur, claims that Barack Obama forced Biden to take Kamala Harris. Biden wanted Gretchen Whitmer, which is not much better, IMO. At least Whitmer can resist laughing more than every ten seconds. My wife and I call Kamala “Giggle Puss.”

    They should want to hear the truth.

    Being Trump's VP would be a price too high for her.

    That may lead to Trump being taken off the ballot.

    I don’t think so. She wants to be the POTUS. Four years as the VP would make her the Republican heir apparent.

    I don't think she wants it that badly.

    Trump already had one neo-con VP(Mike Pence) and look how that turned out for him. Trump's ideology is what Trump runs on, not the GOP ideology. If she's running in the hopes of somehow being selected as Trump's VP, she's blinder than I thought.

    Trump made clear, that in a second Trump term he is going to put as many people as he is comfortable with, into power. The neo-cons do not believe in 'Trumpism', so they don't get invited. You should look at someone like Mike Johnson(current House Speaker). Look into someone like Elise Stefanski.

    Those are the kind of names you're going to be hearing in the coming months as Trump secures the nomination.

    Hell, you can even use Mike Pence as an example. In 2016, Pence said nothing untoward against him, meanwhile almost every GOP person in the field did. Ben Carson got a post in the government, simply by touting the company line.

    On that note, here's a power move: Rand Paul(R-Kentucky). It would attract, or at least divide the Libertarian vote. It would directly threaten the GOP Senate numbers, which would put the GOP in a bind and forced to defend and try to elevate Donald Trump.

    I can think of a million and one choices better than Haley.

    Would more diversity in the NFL create a better NFL?

    I do think that's the play that she's going for, but I don't think that it'll work this time around as it has in the past.

    But not well enough to win. Which is what I've been saying. As a non male non white, she's behind the curve ball in the R party.
    She can't get those votes of those who are not ever going to vote for any person that isn't white and male.
    That's the only party that has such voters.

    Nope. I added to your post. She will be damaged forever if she is picked and accepted the VP.

    Of course. But so far, history and the votes are agreeing with me.

    Some day, in the distant furture, there may be all R voters who don't care about a gender or skin color when they vote. But that's not today.
