    What are the odds that - if it happens - the whole event goes off the rails as Haley tries to do traditional political campaign stuff and Trump just keeps up his incoherent deranged rants and says nasty things about her?

    I’d give it > 50%.

      If Haley had any spine she’d turn on him during the event. Or, do something to tank his campaign. She knows how awful he is for the country.

      More likely, she’ll kiss the ass for a chance at a cabinet position and political future.

        To be fair, imagine the harassment you and your family would get if you did something like that… Especially if you were already well known and not liked by his base

        I would literally fear for the safety of her children

    I notice that they aren’t pushing Vance to pick up the slack.

    If McCain had been having problems in the 2008 race, Palin would have been out 24/7.

        That’s absolutely it.

        Vance grabbed the spotlight after his nomination, and that would have been a sin enough, but he was also extremely unlikeable and weird. He probably can’t show his face in public without Trump personally approving it, and Trump no longer has the attention and energy to follow his own schedule, much less micromanage Vance - hence, no Vance.
