Well I was predicting a Pence/Haley but maybe DeSantis/Haley?

[jon-nyc]

She’d be high on anyone’s vp list, except maybe trump. But I wonder how well she’ll do in her own right.

Also I wonder what she’ll even be like. I had a sense of her in the pre-Trump era, but I’m sure she’ll be different or at least act differently now.

@jon-nyc that’s an interesting question. I think the name of the game will be a shift toward the center, but not enough to alienate the diehard Trump voters.

The party is divided now. I don’t believe Trump can be elected again. A lot of Republicans voted for him in 2016 as a relative unknown. That won’t happen again and I don’t think there are enough diehards to get the job done.

Of course, it still depends on who the Dems put up.

She appeals to moderates.

But as in the Demonrat primaries, moderates don't tend to do well.

Conjures up the contrast of "Romney pre-Obamacare" vs. "Romney post-Obamacare."

Mrs. Clinton
Mrs. Obama
Mrs. Doctor Biden

Take your pick.

I think it's Nikki's turn.

Misogynists probably think otherwise.

[Mik]

I think they might be hard pressed to put up a candidate that could beat Haley. But both primaries will be bloody.

[Horace]

Haley appears to enjoy a good fight. I suppose that's prerequisite.
