Refreshing to hear Leibovich say he's surprised Nikki hasn't yet just folded and endorse Trump. I've been saying for weeks Nikki will eventually toe the line and endorse Trump. Sorry Mark, but Sarah's "permission structure" phrasing is dead on.

Trump being a crazy, traitorous nearly felon isn't a big problem. Trump looks old.

Sorry I was walking and didn't mean to respond to your comment. I do agree with your take on Halely. Too bad.

no problem. BTW Axios reported earlier that Trump was considering Nikki for VP but now Trump claims he's not. And why wouldn't we believe Trump?

I think he won't puck her because she was popular and said bad bad things about him.

You may be right. Offering the VP slot to Nikki is the smartest thing Trump could do, but it requires him to suppress his narcissism. On the other hand, his last 3 weeks in court have given him some idea of what his life will be like if he loses in November because he will eventually go to trial again in the other 2 federal cases and the GA case. Perhaps that thought will motivate him, but perhaps not.

I don't think Haley will lie about him winning the election if he loses. If Trump tells her not to certify the election, which I believe Pence refused to do, I don't she will. I could wrong and her ambition is greater than her character, but Trump will get someone to shoot her if she denies him.
