At a time when Republicans are starting to contemplate what their party will look like after Donald Trump leaves office, a rivalry has developed between the two politicians who cut markedly different profiles — and signs of strain are bubbling to the surface.
The Pence team has recently asked senior Republicans for updates on Haley’s outreach to donors. And with Haley embarking on a national fundraising tour and promoting a new outside political group, top Pence advisers blame her for persistent rumors that she will replace him on the Trump's ticket in 2020. Tensions flared after Haley chose not to publicly repudiate a Wall Street Journal column in June urging Trump to put her on the ticket.
Earlier this month, Haley took a swipe at Trump after his criticism of Baltimore and its black congressman, Elijah Cummings. “This is so unnecessary,” she wrote on Twitter, adding the eyeroll emoji. White House counselor and former Pence pollster Kellyanne Conway then fired back: “THIS is so unnecessary. Trump-PENCE2020,” Conway wrote of Haley’s tweet.

Who dat?
You’re right.
Also, no one likes a weasel.
And it would be a weasel and unreasonable move to replace Pence.
He was the man the first time and needs to be this time.
Not that I think he’s fantastic, but he’s done NOTHING to reckon kicking him out!!
Honestly
There is no replacement for Trump
After him unfortunately we are headed where we’ve been headed all along
I’d be inclined to support for post-PDJT POTUS whoever PDJT recommends. So no concern until 2022.
Ah, the optimist society. I always wanted to join them. Any suggestions?
Pence 2024. He’ll clean up the social justice bullcrap.
Don Jr.
What’s DeSantis’ baggage?
Pence is pure establishment...and would be the second coming of GWB.
If Pence is the nominee, I would expect his BFF Lyin’ Ryan to be his VP.
Pence?
No just no. HELL NO!
Nikki Haley is slick and will sell anyone out for herself. I have always supported her but now I am about at the end of her road.
Me.
Dan Crenshaw, former Navy SEAL and now a Congressman from Texas, has that bold front and some of the quick wit that any serious Republican contender for the Presidency has to present for serious consideration for the job.
He has already established some positions that I would consider the high ground in exchanges with various of the Democrat Socialists. He will be one of the better persons to confront The Squad, now the face of the Democrat party. His patriotism is in no way in doubt, and he appears to keep a pretty competent team around himself.
But maybe that is not enough.
Not interested in voting for either of these politicians.
Crenshaw has taken some odd positions. Don’t let the eyepatch distract you.
You and me, man. Let’s go...
Some here are taking the Politico bait. Please stop.
Pence IS on the 2020 ticket. Can we wait at least until post-election?
That is a HUGE list - but I love everything on it! What a Dream Come True.
Finally, there is only one Trump. Sadly, he is a mere speed bump in preventing all the things you don't want.
Be realistic. No one including Trump is going to dismantle the federal government. He did not run as a fiscal conservative and Congress would never allow it. He is not a dictator.
Yup, some of the administrators have ego issues and thus are real jerks.
