Will Trump pick Nikki Haley for vice president?

Donald Trump said he would not be asking Nikki Haley to be his vice presidential running mate. But I predict he will think again. She may not want it of course but if Trump asks her formally I can't see her turning it down. Haley has a large support base and if she takes on the role of running-mate, there will be plenty of voters who might think it's a dream ticket. None of the other potential candidates for the job match her qualities. But Trump is enjoying keeping his thoughts to himself and probably won't announce his decision for another month or so. But Haley has taken the first step towards being welcomed back into the Trump fold with her announcement that she will vote for him. Having a woman as his running-mate will also put Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the spot. Haley I suspect would outshine Harris on almost any subject. But Trump being Trump he will probably not forgive Haley for daring to stand against him for the Republican party nomination. So he is more likely to give her some less prominent role. The way things are heading, Trump is going to win in November whether he has Haley at his side or not.
