Could Trump drop out?

Please oh please run Nikki Haley. Please.

Nikki Haley got her foreign policy stint and is smart enough to not want to associate herself with Trump again. She will hate working with/for Trump if he wins, she will be forever tarred by the association if Trump loses, and in the process she will be made to say many things that go against her sense of what is right and wrong. There is no upside for Nikki Haley in this.

Maybe

If she was a man

Being a female overrides all that stuff

Trump may not win.

If he does, this is going to be a fun place for some folks...

I think this is true. She is looking at 2024, and there is not a good history of vice presidents becoming president (unless because of death).

@Jolly This place will be a fun place regardless of who wins.

I’m not talking about Haley as VP. THis is about if Trump drops out. They won’t run Pence.

They won’t run Pence.

You don't think so? He's probably less radioactive than Trump, to be sure.

Or perhaps not - maybe he's just quieter.

[Catseye3]

I' m with Mik. They won't run Pence. If there were a chance of that, the scuttlebutt would be all over the place.

Plus, if there were such a chance, people need to think about the fact that Trump chose him for Veep, and especially why.

And Pence wouldn't work, anyway. He could never have a woman in the OO while he was there. Think of the inconvenience!

How do you feel about Kasich now?

[Mik]

I think Kasich has run his mouth too much while out of office to ever be electable, as much as I think he would have been an excellent president.

He would've been so good. He was my top preference in the 2016 primaries.

[Catseye3]

I haven't given up on Yang. There was an article this morning that he has hopes for a position in the Biden Administration. That would be excellent.

[jon-nyc]

I'm a big Yang fan but more in a 'I want him to have an impact on the conversation' way than a 'I want him to be president' way.

[89th]

Imagine if Biden was named Yin and brought on Yang as his VP. Would be an awesome election poster, amirite.

[Catseye3]

[Catseye3]

@jon-nyc Yeah, I'm more positive-minded about him as a Cabinet guy. He didn't have the knowledge for the presidency, and god knows that's the last jeezly thing we need. But in the government he could learn what he needs to.

Young man with the patience to be in a cabinet role he would get? I don’t see it.

Me too. Then everything went nuts.
