Here's the premise:
Most mainstream republicans cannot stomach the guy..
They DO like Pence
Soooooooo
They give Trumpster plenty of rope and then they impeach him....say , around mid 2018
THEY gain "credibility" for righting a wrong..
Pence becomes president, and appoints Nikki Haley as vice president..
He gets re-elected in 2020, and by 2024, SHE is ready to go for the gold with....
let's say Tim Scott (their pet black man) as her veep..
A republican woman (non white) running with a southern black man...pure catnip...

(115,839 posts)So Tim Scott couldn't be Nikki Haley's VP. Anyhow, the voters who elected Trump will always be too racist and sexist to vote for a non-white woman.

I also Believe they are setting Trump up.
If they do it right they can get some of his crazies tied up in the scandal.
Their Boy Pence set in as President, But Scott Walker gets VP spot.
He is the Koch Brother's chosen one!
