over/under on Trump ditching Pence for Nikki Haley?

At least one guy thinks the odds are good:

MSNBC contributor and GOP strategist Steve Schmidt said Tuesday that he believes President Trump will replace Vice President Pence with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on his 2020 reelection ticket.

Schmidt said on "Morning Joe" that Haley has been angling to replace Pence on the 2020 ticket by defending the president in the press in recent days as she promotes her upcoming memoir "With All Due Respect."

"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.

"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.


I think it's unlikely? I think? But she does seem to be kissing a lot of boot right now, and it's hard to see why other than she thinks something good is coming her way.

What do you think?

LOL! Steve Schmidt, MSNBC contributor and never Trumper.
He couldn't possibly be trying to sow discord in the Trump campaign, now could he? Nah.

It ain't happening, OP.

She's on a PR tour to sell her book which I look forward to reading. I love her as a candidate and will 100% support her and Hogan as a ticket - in the future. This may be shocking but, Trump will only be President through his next term with Pence at his side.

I'm sure the theory is that Evangelicals are his either way, but right now he's hemorrhaging women and has a chance of getting some of getting a few of them back if he has Haley

I've never heard that insult before. This is hardly a WTF post, tho. It's been suggested for a long time now that Trump wants to - or should - ditch Pence for Haley.

Here's another piece from April : https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/26/opinions/what-if-trump-dumps-pence-for-nikki-haley-wierson/index.html

She's really trying hard right now to set herself up to be Trump's successor.

Oh, please.
The Fox piece isn't "giving this idea a bit of a boost." It is mocking Joe Scarborough.
And, the others? All efforts to sow discord. It isn't working.

I'll vote for her in a heartbeat in 2024.

She called Trump “truthful” today.

Anyone remember when she tweeted "Bless your heart" to the man she is now selling her soul for?

She's just as foul as the rest of them

The Fox piece is clearly a trial balloon.

She's auditioning to replace Pence on the ticket and set herself up to be the Trump heir.

BARF.

I didn't use to feel this way, but I'm now convinced she's the handmaiden of the devil.

Yep, just in a prettier package that some Republicans think can absolve them of *all this*
