Chuck Todd: Republican ‘Fantasy’—Pence/Nikki Haley Replacement Ticket
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/04/2016 6:01:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Hardball, Chuck Todd called it a “fantasy,” but . . . he reported that some Republicans think that maybe they can talk Donald Trump into quitting, and that an ideal replacement ticket would be Mike Pence and Nikki Haley.

Chris Matthews was very skeptical, saying that there’d never be a week when Pence could beat Hillary, because he lacks the “pizazz.” Todd replied that some Republicans believe that a generic Republicans could beat Clinton. Todd quoted one Republican as saying “take any two people in the White Pages. Make them the ticket. Put R’s next to their name, and put them on a desert island and not say anything, and they think that candidate gets 47%.” Then again, how tuned in can someone be who still thinks in terms of the “White Pages?”

Nikki is a RINO!

The Repubicrat Party will disintegrate if these plotters proceed in any way to remove Trump from the ticket.

Ridiculous. Haley is not going to be a GOP nominee. Although if Trump
were to drop out Pence would be the obvious replacement. I think it’s too late for that though. He’d get clobbered getting into the race so late.

This is the MSM and GOP-E continuing their tactic of trying to bait Trump, his campaign or his supporters into doing something spectacularly unhinged. Been going on since early in the primaries and is still going on.

I fantasize about a replacement ticket for Hillary that is headed by that idiot Democrat who thinks that Guam will capsize.

The Republican Party can do as it damn well pleases. I have reached the point that I don’t give a shit any longer. On Election day, I will write in the name of Donald Trump on the ballot write in candidate line. The Republican Party can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

Next they will posit Jeb Bush/Ted Cruz as replacements. These people are looney.

Nikki Haley, with her long list of scandals including skipping the state during the floods, is not qualified because she is not a nbc. Her blaming of a confederate battle flag for the horrible church murders and banning the flag showed her contempt for out history and free speech and that she does not honor even a simple promise.

You can’t talk Trump into anything.

He’s crazy.

I have no doubt there are refugees from the Romney campaign or the Bush campaign that have these fantasies. But fantasies are all they are. There is absolutely no way that Trump will withdraw, and no conceivable grounds for them to remove him.
