For the next several months, the nation’s political focus will understandably be on the sprawling Democratic field, the horse race, the debating, the voting, the winnowing.
President Donald Trump will, of course, gratuitously tweet himself into those skirmishes to make news. Within his own party, Trump currently faces no serious challenger to threaten his reelection. [Snip]
Unnoticed, for now, is any discussion of Trump’s vice presidential running mate in 2020. The natural assumption is he’ll stick with Vice President Mike Pence. Assumptions in politics are always dangerous. Ask Hillary Clinton

Gee, I dunno- he doesn't have much experience. So far, he's only been a vice-president, governor, U.S. Congressman, conservative radio talk show host.....

Wishful thinking. Looking for ANYTHING that may peel off some Trump voters.

More important question is: Does he keep Barr as AG, particularly if no one from the Obama regime is charged with serious criminal behavior? Pence is pleasant. Would prefer Jim Jordan, the articulate Ohio House member, but if there are no indictments in 2019, Jordan would be foolish to accept.

Pundits are tired of all the Democratic Hustle, and are just trying to gain foothold by yammering about will he/won't he and Vice President Pence.

Actually, Trump should not keep Pence. pence is not replacement material. He is a place holder, only. The new VP needs to be someone the people can get used to as a replacement for Trump. Someone who is imbued with the Trumpian desire to Keep Making America Stronger. This is not to be messed around with. Serious stuff and Pence's "Nice Guy" reputation and his Christian dedication is not going to make it happen. We need a serious fighter becasue the leftists will go absolutely bonkers in 2024. It'll be their last gasp.

If he doesn't, then two words: Nikki Haley.

Nikki Haley? You mean backstabbing, grandstanding, virtue-signaling, self-promoting Nikki Haley? That Nikki Haley?

I hope Trump does not drop Pence! Why would he? If he replaces Pence with Nikki Haley I won't vote for him, she is a two faced BIT*ch who erased our history.

Pence will never be President. Much of this country hates Christians with a passion. It is frighting.

It would be very interesting if Pence bows out to family matters and Trump picks Niki Haley...

With all due respect, there are options much more appealing than Nikki Haley. She had her chance and she wasted it. We’ve seen her true colors.
