The Trump's NEW VP Discussion Thread
nohero said:
Ever since Mike Pence was made the titular head of the Coronavirus task force, I thought he was in a precarious position - that is, set up for a fall. It seems even more likely that Trump is going to need to blame someone for the quality of the response (other than China and Obama). Pence has been following Trump's directions to the extent that he's looked arrogant and clueless (see, not wearing a facemask).
So who is Trump going to pick, to deflect blame and shake things up in response to Biden and his running-mate-to-be-named-later. I think Nikki Haley is most likely.
You think he will dump Pence and pick Nikki Haley? It could bring back those women who voted for Trump, and now are turned off. I think it would be a smart move. He may feel Pence always gets to be the nice guy, so that would be a motivator But, would it turn off his religious right base? Pence fills that slot.
