Something about the fact that Haley is stepping down as Ambassador to UN, is concerning to me!

It was an odd time and it was a friendly resigning! Not that she was tired or that she has bigger plans? I wonder if Trump pushed out by means of having dirt on her? Or he wanted someone else to do his dirty work, knowing that she would push back? Trump is the master of manipulation. He has to have control everyone and he could not control her!

will replace Sessions as A.G.shortly , leaving his Senate seat open. The Rethug governor will name her in a second so she can fill out Lindsey's term and then run on her own.

I think he will have Mike Pence step aside for 2020 and add her as VP. The rationale is he has women problems and rightfully so, but it will be lipstick on a pig. I also see just spitballing they spin the Russia stuff off on Pence too. Maybe because I watched Dave recently and remember the scene where he says but we did that. The Kelly guy in the movie says we can put it on anybody here and he is our guy to take the fall we’ll pay him off with some lobbyists job down the road. Washington is a hell of a town weird shit happens. Also could be none of that happens too. Since we are guessing

SC Senate seat will be open with Scott leaving and that would give her a chance to become national again without pompous Pompeo or blizzard Bolton around her. Also let's her into the boys club and although the Republicans have 5 women senators well they know they will need more.
2020 setting aside Pence may not work since he is a lesser threat than she is. And he came highly recommended by none other than Manafort.
Just my two cents.
