With Donald Trump’s cratering poll numbers, and with that handy-dandy revolving door just outside of the White House, it’s perfectly reasonable to suggest that the “president” might replace vice-president Mike Pence with former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. After all, securing the women bloc of voters is essential to the pussy-grabbing “president” and he needs a plan.
We hope Pence was paying attention on Tuesday when MSNBC contributor and GOP strategist Steve Schmidt suggested on Morning Joe just that, saying that he believes Trump will replace his current vice-president with Haley on his 2020 reelection ticket.
Haley has been promoting her upcoming memoir With All Due Respect and it’s rather telling of her aspirations as she sucks up to Trump.
“I think Mike Pence is probably hanging out back there, thinking, ‘Hey, I got 1 in 365 chance at picking the day that Trump’s going to dump me from the ticket and put her on some time in the next year,'” Schmidt said on Morning Joe.

“She wants to be vice president. She wants to be vice president on the Republican ticket in 2020. And I think there’s an overwhelming chance that Trump will dump Pence to put Nikki Haley on the ticket because he has an enormous problem with women. Suburban women, particularly,” he continued.
Schmidt added that Haley would serve Trump’s “immediate political interests” in a manner that Pence would not.
“He’s entirely transactional. Loyalty is a one-way street,” he said. “And so she’s clearly angling for the job, and when you look at the politics of it, she would serve his immediate political interests in a way that Pence can’t. So I would suggest that he’s going to be gone and she’ll be in.”
Watch:
Haley was on NBC’s Today show and Savannah Guthrie hammered her. Haley said it does not merit Trump’s impeachment less than a year away from the 2020 election, and to let the people decide. She’s obviously angling for a position in the White House.
The speculation of a Trump-Haley ticket is nothing new.
Back in July, the Wall St. Journal’s Andrew Stein wrote, “Nikki Haley on the ticket could tamp down the antipathy for Mr. Trump that seems to afflict so many moderate and Republican-leaning women. President Trump needs the prospect of a Vice President Haley to help recapture the White House.”
Hey, Mike, anytime that you want to become a whistleblower is OK with the rest of us. This might be a good time. Talk it over with mother, mmkay?
