Do you think Trump will now dump Pence in favor of, oh say, Nikki Haley? (Original Post) Hekate Aug 2020 OP

He has to be pissed off this afternoon that people are talking about someone that is NOT HIM.

His needy little self must have all of the attention.

is still kissing his doughy ass - previewing the negative Harris ad . . . bashing Biden . . . . falsely claiming "FAR LEFT!!" . . . . showing the empty podium waiting to be leaned on by the Liar-in-Chief.

Trump would piss off the evangelicals, the misogynists, and the racists. In other words, his entire base.

It would be seen, even by mouth breathers, as disrespectful and disloyal to the singularly most loyal and obsequious veep in the history of veeps.

Removing Pence would cause too much of a kerfluffle. Trumpers would wonder what anyone would have to do to earn Trump‘s loyalty. Pence has been his undying lapdog.

That crowd doesn't believe in women leaders and they certainly wouldn't want one whose heritage isn't lily-white Anglo-Saxon. Neither would the racist haters who are the rest of Trump's base.

he has resigned for health or family reasons. Trump doesn't have the decency to fire anyone in person.
