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.

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)?

(10,890 posts)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.

- 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.
