1. Haley probably wants to run in 2024, and she’s too smart to board a sinking ship. 2) She’s from a Punjabi-Sikh family, she converted to Christianity but still attends a couple Sikh ceremonies every year. The evangelicals will never trust her. Oh yeah, and 3) she’s a woman. That’s not a plus for Republicans.

Aaaand she removed the Confederate Flag from the state capital. Traitor

So after Biden announces a woman, what are the chances that Trump decides to “mix things up” and announces at the convention that Nicki Haley is his new VP pick, much to the surprise of both Pence and Haley?

“Split screen” technology was invented for just that scenario.

At this point. I think if you asked your basic American who Chris Stevens is, they’d guess he was someone in an HBO series.

[bdtex]

People actually bet real money on that?

[alanonguitar]

Just announced Karen Bass is one of those not selected.

I’d like to see her get a cabinet spot.

[26degreesrising]

Yes they do.

[khyber900]

Betting markets just flipped hard towards Harris in the last 20 minutes. Bass is out. There’s a chance that we might not fuck this up, folks.

My fond hope is that he waits until Trump begins his “presser,” and everyone has to break away from Orange Julius to Biden.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[centralasiaexpat]

So that counts Hillary out? I’m sure FOX and OAN would express doubts

[carolson]

I think it’s Susan Rice.

[lcbo]

Oh, if he decides to announce today Ai hope he does it right after tRump starts his little rally in the briefing room today. It will hijack the whole Q&A session.

[randome]

Yeah, a lot more ‘requirements’ for women than for men. That, too, will change eventually.

[26degreesrising]

I want Rice but because of my particular psychopathology, my wanting Rice makes me guess it will be Harris.

Beyond that, I don’t really have a clue.

[littlegirlblue]

Who’s the woman who would want to work closely with trumPP for four years? He can’t fire her though he surely could marginalize her so why would an ambition woman invite that.

[kelaine]

I’m fine with whoever Joe picks, but why would a law and order background haunt Demings any more than it would hurt Harris?

[jinnj]

CNN is saying …

Rep. Karen Bass was told by Joe Biden that she is not his VP pick, a source says.

[26degreesrising]

Good point.

[carolson]

Sounds like you might be a Yose-mite. We always figure whatever we want won’t happen.

I went to Grad School at the University of Florida. Two back to back seasons would be agony.
