President Trump's recent stonewalling tactics, aimed at blocking Congress' ability to follow up on the allegations detailed in the Mueller report, are rooted in the belief that he can run out the clock on the Democrats in the House through the 2020 election. Nonetheless, it's a strategy fraught with peril, and if the President begins to see a significant erosion in his approval numbers from Americans tired of the endless standoff, he might need to reach deep into his bag of tricks to reset the national narrative.
There is one move that could prove to be a complete game changer: naming Nikki Haley, the former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor, as his running mate in 2020. News of a Trump-Haley ticket would be a master stroke that would upend the 2020 election and could send Democrats into a complete tailspin.
Bucking tradition for the heck of it is a hallmark of this presidency, but if Trump were to part ways with Mike Pence it would be nothing more than raw political calculus: in one move, Trump would make history by selecting a woman of color with a deep political resumé and foreign policy gravitas -- making it the most diverse ticket in the history of the GOP.
Adding Haley to the ticket would not only strengthen his position in key defensive battleground states, but possibly put several states that Hillary Clinton carried in 2016 back in play for the GOP. By tapping Haley as his running mate, the President could deliver the ultimate coup de grâce to Democrats' hopes of retaking the White House in 2020.

You’re wrong.
One is only NATURALLY a citizen when one CANNOT be anything else.
The children of foreigners are themselves foreigners, even if born here, they have divided citizenship, nationality and loyalties, precisely what the founders were excluding.
She was born in South Carolina. I believe that is in the USA.
That’s your definition of a natural born citizen.
oHHHHH??? THEN i SAW IT WAS CNN.
You and I have been around this bush a hundred times.
You’re wrong and I have provided links in the past. I’m not repeating the work.
“What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
sez you’re inspired interpretation of the meaning of “natural born citizen” and the offspring of “natural born citizens.”
She is ineligible.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Wait! There is!
He has been loyal and A+.
If CNN suggested it, it is STUPID...Trump/Pence 2020.
The founders did not intend to make the King of Thailand or Winston Churchill or every anchor baby eligible to be President.
They chose the most restrictive type of citizenship only for the office of President.
You are wrong.
No!
Why nicki, when Stacy Abrams is still available?

Funniest post of the day! LMAO!
N.H. has a property “View” Tax.
Amazing.
CNNonsequitur. CNNcerntroll scrawling DNC talking points for CNN. Partisan Media Shill alert. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
CNN opinion: Trump should cut his throat...
Pence is President Trump’s life insurance policy.
“For sure everyone should listen to advice from CNN.”
I don’t think cnn is giving advice, but furthering the narrative that nikki haley deserves to be on the ticket.
It has been trickling out for a few months now with Vanity Fair magazine and Newsweek to name a couple. It is all coordinated.
The RNC wants her in the White House. Because it’s time for a womyn to be President dammit!
There are only two people President Trump takes advice from anyway.
Nicky Haley is not eligible. She is not NBC.

NH strikes me as a person who would not hesitate to turn on Trump if she thought it would advance her personal agenda. Instead of her, I was thinking that he might secure the necessary female support by naming Judge Jeanine or Sidney Powell as his running mate. On the other hand, dropping Pence might alienate his supporters in the Midwest, especially in Indiana.
