Get ready - nikkie Hal being positioned to be Trump's vp mate in 2020....

You can hear the whisper campaign. He will stay on until statute of limitations on campaign crimes passes in 2021 and then resign, leaving Haley as potus.

He may even give pence a pardon, get him to resign, and then nominate her right away. That serves 2 purposes. It gets him positive media coverage, and since he knows the house won't confirm Haley, he knows the Senate would never convict him if impeached since it would make pelosi potus.

Don't put it past him......

Remember the first book detailing Trump's wh by the reporter allowed to just hang around and talk with staff freely? He put a clue in the book that Trump had an affair of some kind with someone.

It was thought to be either Haley or Conway. Could also be Sanders.

But if it was Haley.....

with Jabba the Trump unless offered a whole lot of money. I don't think Haley is that sort of you-know-what.

There have been rumors going back to her days in the state legislature, before she was Governor, however.

Although with Trump sex is about domination, it's possible she was just stroking his ego. That can be powerful with an emotionally damaged child......

If she wants to continue in politics she should run for the Senate and stay away from the Trump administration. It won't help her career to get any more of that stank on her.

It would not please Putin to have her replace Pence.

Everyone would be talking about it for weeks. And she might be the one repug that the House might feel compelled to approve.

I don't know that she would move the 2020 dial. What president has ever won because of their brilliant VP pick?

I think he is a one term president. He broke most of his campaign promises. And he has proven himself to be incompetent time after time.
