George Will: Nikki Haley Would Be A "Promising" VP Choice For Ted Cruz

Real Clear Politics



"GEORGE WILL: He'd have to throw into that mix Kasich himself, as I'm sure your listeners know. No Republican has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio. You have to carry Ohio and Florida. Because there is a 'gender gap' as they used to call it in the Republican Party about approaching women. It is really narrower than that -- Mitt Romney carried married women.

"[South Carolina Republican Governor] Nikki Haley is a promising candidate for two reasons. One thing you don't want in a candidate for a vice presidential nomination is surprises. You want them to be surefooted and not make news and not disrupt the momentum of the campaign. She has demonstrated a tremendous surefootedness. Going through the traumatic reaction after the horrible shooting in Charleston, and also the difficulty of bringing down the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds in Columbia. 

"Second, she does as a governor, she is presiding over a state transformed more and more for the better... It just continues to boom, with Boeing and all the rest down there." . . .
