It's 'a Certainty' That Trump Will Dump Pence and Replace Him With Nikki Haley, Begala Says
[PJ] Long time Democratic aide and former Bill Clinton staffer Paul Begala told the AIPAC conference that it is a "certainty" that Donald Trump will remove Vice President Mike Pence on July 16 when the Democratic nominee is scheduled to give his acceptance speech at the Milwaukee convention. Begala says the president will replace Pence with former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley "to try and get those suburban moms."

The Hill:
The former "Crossfire" co-host "guaranteed" Trump will throw Pence "under the bus" because of his handling of the coronavirus, which the president tapped Pence to lead a task force on last week.

"This is not a prediction. It’s a certainty. On Thursday, July 16 ‐ that’s the date the Democrat gives his or her acceptance address ‐ on that day, to interrupt that narrative, Donald Trump will call a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. He’s going to dump Mike Pence and put Nikki Haley on the ticket to try to get those suburban moms," Begala predicted during a panel discussion at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) conference in Washington, D.C.

"You watch. Guaranteed," Begala said. "Trump put Pence in charge of coronavirus to throw him under the bus."

Begala is supposed to be some kind of expert. Either he's been asleep or just hasn't been paying attention for the last three years if he's going to use the words "certainty" and "Donald Trump" in the same sentence.

This is not the first time that Haley's name has been floated to replace Pence. Haley denied it most recently last November.

#1 LOL.

After putting Pence at point on Coronavirus, he's going to replace the man with a Nevertrumper, whose biggest claim to fame is rolling over for the woke mobs on the Stars and Bars..

Right.

Just say no to Nimrata.

#3 The one thing Trump values more than his ego is loyalty. Pence has been as loyal as they come. If he isn't the VP next term it will be because he wanted to go.

#4 Yeah Paul "The Forehead" Begala is a credible source. Must be taking lessons at the Schiff School of Creative Thinking.

#5 A contingent of the interwebs hates her. Survey says... Certainty doesnt mean to me, what it means to Begala.

#6 VPs rarely get the big job. Reagan was so awesome he pulled Bush Sr along in his wake. Trump *might* have that kind of effect as well.
