Putting her on the ticket wouldn't do much of anything for him. No way is Trump putting anyone not white on his ticket, there's only downside for him there. Plus you know he's a racist too.

That’s not to say there aren’t some just casting protest votes, but she certainly has/had a weird cult following throughout the primaries.

Yeah but I'd assume the majority of those people are "Republican but I hate Trump" types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the closest a person of color is getting to being his VP pick is Tim Scott, and he’s too weird for even Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the earlier primaries where they had a plethora for choices, though? Just seems like he'd pull more from that crowd by picking her vs one of the other sycophants. Certainly not saying that they'd all flock to him, just that Haley would probably pull the most from that crowd as they'll use cognitive dissonance to think "oh she'll stop him from doing too many horrible things" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I think his best play is Tulsi Gabbard, but she might not be enough of a chud for him. Tim Scott brings absolutely nothing to the ticket beyond his race. I don't think many black Americans will vote for Trump because he has the whitest black person to ever exist as his VP. Dog shoot lady is out. My thinking is he has already proven he really doesn't want to split the attention and will go with a very boring safe option. Someone who is 1000% obedient, but happy to fade into the background. So, yeah, maybe I'm talking myself back into Tim Scott... but again, I think he already tried a boring religious weirdo, he probably doesn't want to go that route again. The safe bet is a woman.

CitizenVectron Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The ultimate move would be an Arab-American person and try to swing the Gen Z vote over the Palestine massacre (even though we all know Trump wouldn't be any better than Biden). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 He also won’t pick a person of color because it would piss off the Nazi and Klan base. So Tulsi, Nikki, etc are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I think he could pick a poc and have it not piss off the nazi base. They seem to be pretty “in” on the concept of using a person of color to provide a sort of cover. Didn’t the proud boys do this themselves?

Spork3245 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I mean, Haley has spent basically her entire political career trying to be white except for the past two-ish years to try and appeal to Indian-Americans. I'm sure the Nazis and KKK who love Trump would be like "nah, she's one of the good ones" simply because Trump picked her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 My take is that majority of closeted racist right wingers don't hate every individual minority... in fact, as long as they gleefully accept their place in society, understand their role as "culturally secondary", don't make a fuss and keep their heads down... they are 100% fine with minorities. Minorities that do things like cook them tacos and clean their toilets and sing and dance for them are 100% fine. They are even open to the idea that there are "good ones" in there as well. It gives them a great cover story for the outside world and it gives them a way to convince themselves that their fucked up twisted beliefs are okay. Most welcome minorities that act and behave like white people with open arms. Sure, there is some tiny minority of uber racists who would never vote for a black person, but are they going to switch to Biden? Not in a million years.

MarSolo Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Biden Campaign Quietly Meets With Haley Supporters After Trump Endorsement WWW.THEDAILYBEAST.COM Reps listened to the concerns of top Haley supporters as part of a push to win over this key voting bloc.

GeneticBlueprint Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Yeah... should've been doing that the moment she dropped out. Meet with Christie's people too. And Romney's. Actually, no. Not Romney's. He will endorse whoever is most like him to be his replacement in the Senate and if he endorses Biden it's goodbye to whoever he endorses and we get a MAGA chud in his stead.

osxmatt Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Why quietly? Why not “I had a chance to meet with Haley supporters and members of her now defunct PAC. It’s clear these voters have been failed by and left behind by the Republican Party. But the Democratic Party tent is big and there’s a place for them here.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
