CNN's Begala: Trump Will 'Dump Pence' for Haley on Day of Democratic Nominee's Acceptance Speech

After he does this, those MAGAts are going to be so confused.
"Oh yeah! We hate Pence now!"
Pence was the only person who would accept the VP job in 2016. Ha ha! Now there's a rumor he's dumping the guy!

I believe he will. It sounds so Trump to do that.

so that she can pardon him and/or keep his crimes while POTUS covered up. Of course, Don Jr. would fill that role too.

What's the theory behind possibly dumping Pence for Haley? To try and prove that he isn't sexist and/or racist (even though we know he's both and that choosing Haley would prove neither)?

Or is losing Republican women, whom might be excited for her brand of Trumplicking?

He wants her in that position so he can play gold a lot more and keep runing his company while she does his work. I don't think he trusts her enough unless he and her have something going on between them, which wouldn't shock anyone. He hates and distrust pence.

THIS? How far she has fallen. She *almost* became one Republican I did not despise. So much for that.

It would make him look desperate or like he picked the "wrong" guy. No way in hell he does this.

-she’s female. His religious not would not like that. Women are not supposed to have authority over men.

- even though she is Christian she celebrates Hindu religious holidays with her family. His religious nut would have a coronary.

-she is a person of color. Too much of his base is to racist to vote for such.

- and perhaps the most important...she took down the confed flag from the S Carolina capitol. The neo-confeds and racist blame her for the movement to remove confed memorials.


I occasionally go to the website that I will not mention. These views are not occasional on that site, they are universal. She is hated.

I think Trump is going to steal it, but Haley more palatable to them than Pence? I have no idea.

Considering "Nikki" Haley, née Nimrata Randhawa. What’s with the far-right Indian-Americans? Haley, Dinesh D’Souza, Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, etc.

45’s idea of “diversity.”
