Extra-judicial killings are okie dokie per GOP wrote:
A couple of possibilities...1) Trump will use Pence & Congress as cover when they force him to do something about MBS & the Saudis....he then “fires” pence and picks Nikki Haley to be his running mate in 2020 2) Trump digs in on the issue and refuses to do anything despite Pence & Congress....Muller report is issued....GOP decides that they won’t ignore the report...impeachment? 3) same as #2 but instead of impeachment, Pence quits and runs against Trump in 2020.
My take on those scenarios:
1) Tiny won't select a different running mate unless Pence becomes more disloyal. As of now he has been a faithful soldier. I don't think Nikki would take the job.
2) I agree with most of this one. Tiny is beholden to MBS. As I've said before, the house would be foolish to take up impeachment until 67 senators are willing to take the matter seriously. I'm not sure that's possible no matter what the Mueller report says.
3) Even Pence isn't stupid enough to run against Tiny. The base would see it as the ultimate betrayal. There is no way Pence could win without the base.
