What in the name of Santa Claus’s Sainted Aunt Golda is going on in the world? In what mirrored universe would anyone think that Nikki Haley would be a good pick for his Vice President? In what box-ticking, sanitized for your protection candidate world did the consultants come up with Trump/Haley. No. No. NO. Deal Breaker. Y’all know me. I am a Trump girl. Nikki is an effin’ deal breaker.

I understand why Nikki Haley is running for President. Box-ticking is a core competency these days. Nikki was a very mid Governor for South Carolina. She should have been grateful that Donald Trump named her as Ambassador to the United Nations. Nikki was a better Ambassador than Samantha Power. Low-bar. Nikki gave a couple good speeches and she didn’t give anything away. So yay, Nikki. Then Miss Haley went off to make money the old fashion way, according to Forbes …

[I’m not sure *why* she’d be a deal breaker, as opposed to other choices. Trump chose Mike Pence in 2016 and no one called that a “deal breaker,” even though Pence was more establishment than Haley. But to be honest, I’m not sure why Trump would pick her anyway. She wouldn’t bring a significant bloc of voters her way, and her messaging on foreign policy will be a turn-off to his base. I’d guess that Kristi Noem would get an offer first. — Ed]
