Former President Donald Trump has been asking allies and advisers for their thoughts about Nikki Haley as a potential vice presidential candidate, two sources familiar with the conversations tell CBS News.
The feedback from the MAGA crowd regarding putting Haley on the ticket if Trump wins the GOP nomination has been overwhelmingly negative, according to these GOP sources. Politico first reported that Trump allies are working to quash the possibility of a Trump-Haley ticket.
The former South Carolina governor has been gaining ground in recent polls, and a top Trump adviser tells CBS News one internal prediction is Haley might be a close third in Iowa to DeSantis, or

If Trump whats either Haley or DeSantis as a running mate, he needs stop tearing them down. His attacks on them is a major reason that Trump's supporters view them negatively.

I won't vote for him if that is the case. If he wants a woman VP, Kari Lake.

My advice to Trump would be to ask Mike P., again. It'd be the same thing.

Haley in any position in Trump's government would be as bad as appointing Barr as AG! Ramaswamy is right Haley is Corrupt, she fits much better with Biden.

No, no,no,no,no....
She would not last 6 months, and that is "if" he could get elected with her on the ticket. She is a nasty person who is very, very disloyal. Sort of like the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Please not Nikki. She is a nice woman but there are very dangerous people who would prefer her for president and will clear the way for her. Don' t choose a VP whom dangerous people prefer to you!

Every Single time she has been asked if she would accept the VP Slot from Trump, she has said ABSOLUTELY NOT! So, If asked, does she jump at it and look like she's been after that all along? Or does she stick to what she has said, over and over, which is NO?

Al Gore and Kamala Harris were laughingly and accurately referred to as their Presidents' "life insurance," for good reason.
For the Deep State and GOPe (aka Democrats), Nikki Haley would be the opposite.

Bad choice. She couldn't take working with him when she was at the UN. I don't think she would do any better as VP.. He needs to have someone who has his ideals and can tough it out because I think Trump is a hard task masker and he/she could learn a lot about negotiating.

I won't vote for any female on the ticket. Look around the country. All the trouble is usually caused by the women, especially the black women. Sorry to say that but it is the truth.

Post 22 is certainly correct. Good grief. Just this morning I saw a quote from Trump where he was once again referring to Haley as "Birdbrain." Get real, people.
The best explanation I have read is that someone in the field of primary rivals planted this story to discourage/demoralize Trump supporters and lure them into supporting that "someone" instead. (Presumably the someone is the Desantis campaign.) And judging by this thread, look how easy it is to get Trump supporters to swallow this nonsense and gallop for the exits. The "psy ops" works easily, strange to say.

NO! She couldn't cut it when she was ambassador to the UN. Why do that again?
