THAT has ZERO to NO chance one would think….
She’s a Woman off course…..
Donald Trump has only one use for females….
(And one of color, even if she Is a Republican?)
Second?
Haley WOULD be able to steal headlines from Trump and THAT just won’t do…..
Third?
Such a serious consideration would probably be unacceptable to the Republican RightWingNuts that Trump owns, but could give a shit about….
Donald Trump is getting clear advice from a sizable number of Hill Republicans, even some MAGA loyalists: Pick a running mate who can attract more wary GOP voters on the center-right.
Some of them even want him to consider a rival he’s publicly ruled out, Nikki Haley — who recently revealed she’d be voting for him. And if Haley can’t make an improbable comeback, many Republican lawmakers want to see Trump pick one of two other former opponents with the same outside-of-MAGA allure: Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) or Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
“People in these primaries are still voting for Nikki Haley. I think that we need to be focused on that group of people. I hope we get a vice president that will appeal to that group,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said. “Then those folks will start coming home.”
The fact that Hill Republicans are even mentioning Haley, whom Trump has already vowed to exclude from his options, signals that many in the GOP still see party unity problems despite the former president’s rosy recent poll numbers, according to interviews with roughly two dozen Republicans in both chambers. Haley continues to attract votes in Republican primaries long after dropping out, and given how baked-in public opinions are about both Trump and President Joe Biden, the VP pick is one of few remaining unknowns in the race.
Republicans’ push for a running mate who might balance out Trump’s bombastic style of politics isn’t universal: Some GOP lawmakers are nudging Trump to select a fighter in the mold of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy or even Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
But Haley’s name keeps cropping up as a possible unity pick in Trump’s divided GOP, much like Mike Pence’s did in 2016…..
Note…
Haley running WITH Trump would rob her of much of her continued support one might imagine?

This has ZERO chance of happening for one reason:
Donald Trump doesn’t want another Mike Pence (or Jeff Sessions or Mad Dog Maddox or James Comey) who won’t follow Trump’s base instincts without quibble or doubt.
Who’ll preside over the counting of ballots in January 2029?
Will he or she follow the lead of Trump and his crazy hand-picked lawyers, or ungratefully “betray” him?
