What you said Desantis not choosing her, your words "might not pick her to be VP if she's hurting his chances to beat Trump. "


Picking a VP does not occur until AFTER the respected nominee wins the Primary. 


If it is Desantis vs Trump during the primaries a VP has nothing repeat nothing to do what they are campaigning or debating about it is AFTER  the primaries are done does the respected winner of the Democrat/Republican campaign picks a VP to run with in the general election.  

In saying Haley taking "move on from Trump" votes away from DeSantis could cause some contention betwettn them if DeSantis wins. 

I could see DeSantis thinking that Haley running puts his presidential nomination at risk because the primary is Trump versus moving on from Trump and everyone other than DeSantis who runs gets things one step closer to Trump getting the nod again. 

For that reason I could see the other nominees getting on Ron's bad side and him going with someone else at VP out of spite. 

DeSantis wins this unless a bunch of people run and dilute the "not Trump" votes like in 2016.
