of all he attention the democratic primary will give our candidates he is going to want some for himself and the easiest way to do that is dump Pence and add a woman. He is basic like that.

Even if he doesn't replace Pence, he could get impeached and Pence could be implicated.

If the GOP wanted to turn the page in a big way, then they would nominate someone like Haley. A former Governor, very conservative, and a woman of color.

Somehow got pence to resign. Maybe give him a pardon to coerce him.

Since the house wouldn't likely confirm a replacement vp, he knows the Senate wouldn't remove him since that would make pelosi potus.

It doesn't matter what muehler finds, the Senate will never vote in a madame president pelosi.

If they don't, the only thing standing between them and President Pelosi is Trump's Big Mac-clogged arteries.

Pence is an elected official. Pence would have to willingly resign. I don’t think he would. Pence is relatively young and it would be the ultimate humiliation. Pence would have no future. He would become a complete joke, even to those loyal to him. I don’t see it happening.

Haley is viewed as their supernova, whether we want to accept it or not. With a party and president mired in such low approval ratings it is completely illogical to allow Haley to sit around until 2024.

Trump needs a gimmick and he certainly won't allow himself to be part of it. Forcing out Pence and trying to rescue some women's support with Haley is exactly the type of thing a manipulator like that would do.
