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?”

Seems to me that one reason Trump chose Pence was to show that he's going to work with mainstream Republicans. And what happens? The backstabbers get even more aggressive.

Yesterday's rallies were wonderful. Perhaps Trump should keep that Sessions aide, Flynn, and a small loyal inner circle (with maybe just Eric from the family) with him at all times, to keep Trump focused and away from those whose influences aren't helping, and just might be working for the nevertrump crowd.

That's the way I see it, anyway.

That’s the Clinton fantasy.

An opponent who has sworn off negative campaigning, saddled with an unpopular and unappealing VP candidate from a solid red state.

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

Johnson/McKinney 2016

Chuck Todd. Coming to you live from the cavernous enclosure of Hillary’s butt.

Plenty of seating.

Trump is the nominee. If anything, it would need to be Sessions/Pence, as Sessions is the closest on the policies that won the nomination.

One of Clinton methods is that if you’re guilty of something, throw the accusation at your opponent first. Sell Uranium rights to Putin/Russia -> accuse Trump of ties to Putin. Suffer brain injury and have difficulty distinguishing truth from fiction -> question Trumps metal health. Guilty of crimes that would force you to drop out -> float stories about Trump needing to drop out.

Correct. Watching COPS reruns is more informative.

Bwahahaha, Trump just raised $80 million dollars in the second half of July.

The Dems are so scared they think this tactic will work on us. Idiots all!

Chrissy Matthews and Upchuck Todd are both leftist idiots who should shove their silly fantasies where the sun won’t shine.

How is it that our MSM is dominated by left-wingers like them who start out working for Democrats in politics and then slide into taking over major media slots?? Stephanopoulos comes to mind, too. Are there any Republican counterparts who are allowed to infiltrate the media in the same ways? Not as optional talking heads but as anchors and “core” MSM positions like theirs.... the biases of the media are so blatant.

Don’t fret, this is merely lying ‘Rats in the media trying to stir stuff up. They are dishonest propagandists of a very low order.

I love it that the old media still think they get to pick the candidates for us.

In the next few days, we will know the 96 hours all out attack on Trump is effective or not.

If Trump managed to survive this storm, we will know TRUE FEAR from uniparty hacks, from media, from people ‘supposedly conservative’, .... etc.
