Will JD Vance be swapped out for Nikki Haley?

My suspicion is that the polls will show a widening gender gap in favor of women for the Democrats in the coming weeks. Will that prompt Trump to dump Vance in favor of Nikki Haley?

Vice Presidents rarely win elections, but they sure can cost you support if they're terrible, and Vance is terrible.

Yes, that's what the deadline is all about. They need time to prep and print the ballots. honest.abe Jul 26 #26

he drops the Marine for a female. Also, wouldn't she be a DEI choice anyway.

Not that legal restrictions mean anything to those people.

But Trump doesn't ever acknowledge his mistakes. They might try to force Vance out in the back door.

They used don jr to install jd onto the ticket. The decision is not tRump's to make. If tRump tries to change it, the heritage group will simply install another project 2025 adherent in jd's place or replace tRump if it comes down to it.

Also, it would be harder to replace jd than it seems. To appease the racist wing, they would need a white family man with a white family who doesn't have a history of insane comments but yet supports trump and project 2025. A completely stealth loon who can pass a background check and is interested in running for president or VP.

Come on in, Nikki!

Slick nikky was constantly retracting or flat out denying statements we all saw and heard her make. I can't remember the details of her last dumb comment but she did it quite often because she has no values or core beliefs. Just like jd.

The harsh truth is that anyone with even an ounce of integrity would not be caught dead associating with tRump. By default, if you accept tRump's offer, you're trash. Unfortunately there's no better way to put it.

the following:

1. Would Vance agree to it? Highly doubtful. Vance would not agree to voluntarily step away because it would be the kiss of death to any Presidential aspirations that he probably now has for the future.
2. Swapping out VP candidates for the ticket would be tantamount to Trump admitting that he screwed up. Everyone knows that Trum is incapable of ever admitting that he has made a mistake.

In addition, swapping out VP candidates would give the Democrats additional fodder that Trump is so old and feeble that he could not ever pick a VP candidate to run with him on the ticket without screwing it up.
