Well, if an ex-Clinton advisor says it, it must be true. Oh the statement is “may”, so there’s really no story here because you can never be wrong with a “may”.
Paul Begala is as “Democratic insider” as you can get, and is also an insufferable talking head. The point of getting a message like this out there is to undermine public perception of the Trump/Vance ticket more than anything
In response to Newsweek’s request for comment on Begala’s prediction, Trump/Vance campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said that “there’s a reason Paul Beluga [sic] no longer gets paid for his political advice.”
Lol
While Haley might have a broader appeal to undecided voters than Vance, her status as the last Republican to mount a primary challenge against Trump, when the former president often referred to her as “birdbrain,” may make the scenario unlikely.
Lmao
I understand what he gets out of it, I don’t understand why someone at Newsweek decided to be his megaphone. There are plenty of functional stories about Vance’s bad positions, hypocrisy, or poor favorability that do the same thing based on information rather than being a stenographer for someone without any real importance or special knowledge. If that’s the story they wanted to write, they very easily could do it, instead they just summarized an already worthless interview.
These insider ghouls just can’t die.
How dare you question the journalistic integrity of…Newsweek?
Newsweek has been vapid and awful for a long time my man. A better question to ask would be why did OP choose to link Newsweek here

But, it’s Newsweek! There’s no more reputable source than that!
He will still call her birdbrain on stage and Nikki will suck it up
No spine Nikki bootlicking Haley
Niklicki?
Another vp who hates him and flipped their position to get some power.
i think if we go back to 2015, all high rank Republicans hated Trump
And many of them still do. It’s a weird useful idiot/political survival thing. He’s their useful idiot to get what they want… but they better play by the new rules, lest they get Penced.
My imagined conversation when Vance was chosen as VP:
“I liked how it sounded, Trump-Pence. It’s too bad he’s a traitor. It had a nice ring to it, everybody said so. Do we have a Spence? Maybe a Dense?” “Mr. President, the closest I see is Vance.” “Trump-Vance. I like it. It’s close don’t you think? He’s said some nasty, nasty things about me. But, Trump-Vance? I like it. He’s saying good things now, isn’t he? He’ll do the right thing, he knows what happened when the last guy didn’t do the right thing. He wrote a book, they’re telling me nobody is reading it. Everybody still reads Art of the Deal, imagine that? Vance, Pence, Vence, Pence, we should say it like that. I like it.”
Sure, just remember, if you change who’s on the ticket after the convention, you can’t really complain if the Democrats complain who’s on the ticket before theirs.
They will forget, because fox news is going to upload their only current political memory every day at 6pm.
I’m glad Trump is ONLY choosing Candidates who have Spines and Values!
Too bad Donald Trump won’t replace Donald Trump. I’d prefer if he picked a real anti-government type, like Commander Biden.
Commander 2024
No shit, I’d vote for Commander and Major Biden in a heartbeat.
Hah. The other day, my wife said, “it must really suck to be a Secret Service agent and deal with Trump- but at least he doesn’t have any dogs.”
Having no principles undermines her only appeal. The moment she accepts a trump VP offer is the moment she lights any remaining credibility she has on fire.
Yeah that’s gone a be a very small fire. So I suppose no worries there.
Guess that’s why she doesn’t like that a whole bunch of her supporters are now supporting Harris.
Unfortunately for her, a whole bunch of her supporters supported her because they hate Donald Trump.
I have no idea whether that’s a good strategic response to a Harris/Kelly ticket, but speaking personally, I find Nikki Haley more-appealing than I do J.D. Vance, so I suppose it’d appeal to at least some voters.
For this reason, I would much, much rather JD Vance stay on the ticket.
Nikki Haley… I think she could so some damage to Harris’s election chances. It’s gonna be a tough fight to win this November, and Haley is much more palatable to moderates than JD Vance is.
No idea who this cuck was but whatever he was saying sounded brain dead in 2024 lol
Trump prolly found out this guy is deff not resoanying with anyone besides base.
God if Nikki declines him that would be FRESH
Talk about dumb shit. Go for it, idiot.
She is good. This would help him.
I don’t like it, but it would help him.
It might help with the swing voters - which evidently somehow still exist, but it would make a bunch of the MAGA base stay home on Election Day.
Oh no, I’m up against a woman now! However will I win? Oh, I know!
It might make sense to pick a woman against kamala, but what would be the optics of the change. Plus haley would not do it if things started to look bleak for trump, which they already are a bit.
Paul Begala- the guy who sat there nodding along with everything Jon Stewart said as he berated both him and Tucker Carlson on Crossfire. Just totally aware of how awful he was.
Fucking LOL. What a clusterfuck.
