Would you vote for a bipartisan ticket for President/V President in 2024?

Asked by LadyMarissa (16302points) February 29th, 2024

I’ve seen no verification publicly; however, I’m hearing a lot of rumblings locally that Nikki Haley is in negotiations with Rep Dean Philips (D-Minn.) to be her VP. Philips is running dead last against Biden & Williamson in the Dem Primaries. It seems that Nikki doesn’t want to see 45 destroy the Republican party & is willing to do whatever it takes to kick him out of winning the election in November. She seems to feel that it will help to bring some unity & healing back to the country as well if both parties could work together as one cohesive unit. Assuming that this is true, would you be willing to consider voting for a bipartisan ticket in 2024?

I like Nikki more than most Republicans, and I think her political positions are vile.

I wouldn’t vote for Nikki Haley if she were the only one on the ballot. She is anti-women’s health care. She supports anti-LGBTQ legislation and wants to limit civil rights for other minorities. She’s bad.

If true, then you can count the days until the guy changes parties after they get elected.

zenvelo's avatar

Nope, neither potential candidate has shown me a reason to back them. Haley supports the Alabama IVF decision; that is reason enough to never vote for her.

No. Zilch chance. Why get liars from both parties?

Today, no problem. There is no difference in a toxic elephant vs a toxic donkey.

I have never head of a bipartisan ticket. I can’t imagine it being a productive presidency.

Unless I see a link for something that sounds crazy, I tend to be cynical and not believe it.

Only if I liked the Democrat, and if the Republican on the ticket never supported Trump after 2016, and otherwise had non-horrible views.

Oh the GOP would flush that pair down the toilet . . .

“Support . . Trump and Hitler” is their mantra !

It would have to be Romney and a decent dem and Biden will have to be dead.. Out of all the republicans, I always felt he is intelligent and loves our nation. It’s really hard to believe in any politician. Its why I still like Biden. He may be old and slowing down, but I always felt he always wanted what is overall best for our country. No president gets it right 100 percent but the ones that are in it for the wrong reason are easy to spot.

Wow. This question is completely bogus. It assumes Nikki Haley is anything more than a shill. She is a paid plant that is there to try disrupting the Republican election and to keep running down Trump. She’s a puppet. At least half the votes she is getting in the primaries are coming from Democrats that are changing registration to Independent to vote against Trump. They aren’t Republicans at all. Example: she got 40% of the votes in SC, her home state. But a poll was done and they found that right around 50% of those votes were from people that voted for Biden last time and have never voted Republican in their lives. Her entire campaign is a lie.

This question also believes that any of the lefty jellies on Fluther would ever vote for a Republican candidate for anything.

No, I wouldn’t vote for Haley for anything, doesn’t matter who you pair her with.

It won’t happen and the math won’t work anyway. Last + Last = Last

First reaction: No. Remember the job of the VP is to take the place of the president should the president become incapacitated or dies.

An exception might be an Independent who has a very long political history and there is a consistent record so we know where the person stands. However, I think he or she would switch to the same party as the President who is running for the campaign and election.

When Gore chose Lieberman I said multiple times he is not a Democrat in my book, and low and behold he switched to Independent. New York knew Bloomberg wasn’t really a Republican when he ran for Mayor the first time. He does have some traditional Republican policies, but he is a Democrat on many issues, Independent or not affiliated fits him best, but he ran as a Democrat for president and he is a Democrat more than anything in my book, but maybe Independent is more accurate.

Yes, if that was the best of the lot of ‘em.

Caravanfan's avatar

I would vote for anybody who is most likely to beat Trump. Literally anybody.

jca2's avatar

I am not sure Biden could beat Trump at this point. Trump has a lot of people who just adore his every move, and Biden has the problem about his age, which is being widely discussed in many circles. Biden is not doing that well in the polls.

@seawulf575 Tell us more about how Nikki Haley is a “paid plant”!

I’ve voted for Republicans . . . when they were reasonable people. Though I haven’t seen one of those in a long time.

Yesterday, some Republicans were calling Mitch McConnell “not a real Republcian” – ok . . .

seawulf575's avatar

@Zaku Haley has the backing of some seriously wealthy never-Trumpers. Reid Hoffman is an example. He also funded E. Jean Carroll so she would sue Trump. If Haley were a real candidate that had to pay her own way, raise her own money, etc. she would have bailed out long ago. She has no chance of winning and she couldn’t support the campaign without deep pockets. Even Gavin Newsom told CNN he was glad Haley was there because she was doing lots of good for the Democrats by attacking Trump. Hell, look at her Freedom Plan. She has all the buzz words, but very few actionable items she can do as POTUS on there. And she doesn’t mention border security at all. She’s a shill.

The only reason she is even considering still continuing on is that she is being paid to do so.

@jca2 Not to mention the weaponization of the legal system and the government by the Dems against Trump. Americans recognize this is happening and also recognize that nothing stops the government from doing this to each and every person. That is why every time they bring charges against Trump, his popularity grows. They claim a victory like with the NY fraud case and Trump’s popularity takes another step up. Injustice like this against someone makes a martyr out of that person.

Also, Biden doesn’t campaign. His handlers know he couldn’t survive the travel and they certainly don’t want him at rallies and taking question? Completely out of the question! People know Joe is falling apart. Many people see it as elder abuse by continuing to use him as the puppet.

jca2's avatar

@Zaku Yes they’re saying McConnell wasn’t Conservative enough.

@seawulf575 I believe he would have a hard time campaigning. I don’t see how he could possibly do a debate.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Trump holding rallies with whole sections shutdown SO it looks like it is a packed crowd.

He keeps running mouth with ZERO evidence just words of fear and lies !

“Fact check: Trump makes false and unsubstantiated claims in border speech ”

An evidence-free story about foreign countries and ‘insane asylums’.

Trump repeated – and broadened – his familiar story about how migrants are supposedly arriving in the US after having been deliberately freed by foreign leaders from prisons and mental health facilities.

After claiming that “they’re coming from jails and they’re coming from prisons and they’re coming from mental institutions and they’re coming from insane asylums,” Trump added, “You know, I know many of the leaders of these other countries that are doing it.” He said moments later, “You look at the jails now – you look at the jails throughout the region but more importantly throughout the world, they’re emptying out, because they’re dumping them into the United States.”

Facts First: There is no evidence for Trump’s claim that jails “throughout the world” are being emptied out so that prisoners can travel to the US as migrants, nor for his claim that foreign leaders are also emptying out mental health facilities for this purpose. Last year, Trump’s campaign was unable to provide any evidence for his narrower claim at the time that South American countries in particular were emptying their mental health facilities to somehow dump patients upon the US.

Some of followers are very gullible.

Wulf. One of Nikki’s biggest financial backers, was the Koch group. They traditionally support conservative politicians, who will do their bidding.

IF she’s being paid, it’s by your side.
I’ve known her, as I’m a SC resident, for years.
I think she’s in it, because she deserves a chance. I don’t like her. But. She is exponentially more qualified for the office, than Trump. Yes. Even though he played POTUS once, with catastrophic results.
Not a SINGLE allie of ours, respected Trump. It didn’t take long, for world leaders to give up on him, and ignore him at every chance.
Many couples are already planning on life in a second Trump term. That is to say, they are planning on waiting him out, like last time. They have no hope of working with him. The world is essentially America-less, when Trump is POTUS. Certainly leaderless.

When you further spread misinformation you are part of the problem, not the solution.

The people wealthy enough to pay for your conspiracy, would be powerful enough to just have Trump killed. See Trump’s idols, Putin, Xi, and Lil’ Kim.

There are certainly conspiracies, behind the scenes.
As with really ALL of Trump’s propaganda, this one, doesn’t make sense.

Was does make sense, is that some Republicans see Nikki as the replacement for Trump. Not because of his pathetically inadequacies, and incompetence.
Nope.
The GOP knows Trump is a career criminal. Just in case they can’t stop Trump from fucking this up in court, they want a backup plan.

That’s leaps ahead of the dems. You should be pleased with that, at least.

@MrGrimm888 Not my side. I’m against all corruption. I know the Kochs were funding her, but they just pulled their funding after she tanked in her home state. And I’m pretty sure the Kochs are all for globalization. I’m DEFINITELY not for that.

Your view of Trump’s presidency and mine are far different. I know of many things he did that were great for the country. Look at the border situation as a perfect example. He had incoming illegals down lower than they had been in a long, long time. What did Biden do as soon as he took office? He undid everything Trump had done for no other reason than Trump had done it. The result for the border was they were suddenly flung wide open. Millions upon millions of illegals entering this country. No accountability, no tracking of who or where they are…nothing. Fentanyl coming into this country in record amounts, etc, etc, etc. And what does Biden do? He claims he needs Congress to do something. Trump managed to get things corralled without congress being needed and Biden had the same abilities. All he really had to do was to reinstitute the things Trump did. But he didn’t want to. The same attitude by Biden resulted in gas prices skyrocketing and putting us dependent on foreign oil again. The recession was all his fault. The inflation is his fault.

As for US Allies respecting US leadership, look at the Abraham Accords. Trump did that. He got several Arab nations to agree to negotiation pacts with Israel to help calm the region. And we are seeing that many things Trump did resonated around the world. More and more nations are starting to see conservatives moving into power. Argentina is the best example, though there are others. On the flip side we see Italy and Saudi Arabia making fun of Joe Biden and even Kamala Harris. Biden has become the laughing stock of the world. He has dragged the US with him. That is why Iran is emboldened to support groups like Hamas and the Houthis in their terrorism. That is why Putin decided to invade Ukraine.

Your misinformation is the problem here. You offer no solutions, only support for more of the same incompetence and Fascism we have seen so far under Biden.

The solution is jail Trump and have him pay for all of his transgressions . . maybe “pussy grabbing” too !

@jca2 Are they? Do you think they’re correct? It seems to me that McConnell is extremely conservative and has been a far worse obstructionist for GOP agendas than should ever exist in Congress. It seems to me what they’re saying is that he’s not Trump-or-die MAGA enough, which is NOT the same thing as not a Republican (at least, by pre-late-stage-Trump definitions), not not conservative enough.

Zaku's avatar

@seawulf575 Interesting. Thanks for explaining what you meant.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Wulf. In short. Yes.
We have very different views on Trump’s POTUS performance.

Strauss's avatar

@seawulf575 At least half the votes she is getting in the primaries are coming from Democrats that are changing registration to Independent to vote against Trump.

Isn’t that something like what Trump did before he ever ran for president in the first place?
