Nah its a bad plan imo. Broaden the appeal by selecting a man.
Trump fucked up picking Vance, he is already dropping clangers.

Trump Haley would have been a more electable duo.

Trump had two options, he could play for the latino vote (black with tim scott wouldn't actually dent numbers) or he could play for the swing states
Vance was very purposeful and the same reason the convention was in milwaukee, they want to raise up working populists. He certainly isn't doing a good job on his introduction but c'mon, we can't even imagine what a VP debate would look like right now because the democrats are in such disarray we don't have a VP pick as of a week ago. All the republicans have to do to capitalize on Vance is keep the focus on the blue collar issues.
What does Haley actually win? Are there enough suburban white women left in america who aren't already reflexively opposed to Trump, willing to vote for him just because he has a female VP?
This is pretty much the only thing Kamala as a pick is even trying to get in the first place;

Trump won't pick up female identity vote against Kamala either way, so the fact he picked a man who attacks a different angle was prescient.

If Trump has more than two brain cells, he should fire Vance ASAP...

100%

Wrong

Big Tech has Trumps back now, That's millions and millions of dollars for the Trump campaign.

Oh well then... Mission impossible 2.0 incoming.

yeah, also anyone who is ‘undecided’ now is lying. or schizophrenic. or both.

trump wasn’t winning the vote of the group of women in that clip anyway, even if michelle obama was his vp pick.

There's a non-zero percent chance of a palace coup to replace him if Haley were the pick. Vance provides the security of an heir apparent to Trump's populism.

Shes a governor of the state of MI who also survived a "maga extremist" plot against her, helped put said "extremists" behind bars thus saving democracy. Thats the play. Yes its bs. Yes it will play in the general election.

I genuinely don't think people understand who Trump or who Haley is to suggest they'd be a good match. Trump snatched the republican party from the neocons, why would he take two steps back and head in that direction again, really wouldn't make sense.

More i think about, i think Vance is a decent pick. Solid pick to hopefully give him a bump in the rust belt. I still like Vivek better, but people that would have voted for Trump simply because of Vivek probably reside in coastal solid blue states which wouldn't make much of a difference in the general election.
