"Trump Dominates Veepstakes and South Carolina Polls"

In New Hampshire, where the primary has traditionally been a proving ground for presidential candidates, Republicans are starting to accept the reality that their vetting process is now focused on selecting a running mate for Donald Trump rather than finding a top-of-the-ticket contender. Despite Nikki Haley's recent rise in popularity and positive reception at campaign events, many voters see her as a potential vice president rather than a presidential candidate. Trump's commanding lead in the GOP primary has left little room for other candidates to gain traction, and even those who don't want to vote for Trump again are resigned to the possibility of having to support him and vet his running mate.
