Many criticized my diary from August, but my call on the GOPs next moves is starting to unfold :
Trump may not be the candidate we're facing. - Imagine this scenario: It's midway through the primary season and it looks like Biden (or Bernie or any male) is going to win. Trump has a lock on the GOP nomination. GOP leaders sit down and talk about how to salvage the Party. An idea is floated:
- Trump feigns health problems
- Trump names Nikki Haley as VP pick replacing Pence
- Trump secures Nomination
- Trump declares complete victory. Announces at Nominating convention he's accomplished all his goals in just 4 years, and for health reasons he will step aside “A very short period of time” after being sworn in making Nikki Haley the first female president.
- Nikki Halley announces she will put Mike Pence forward as her replacement VP in the new administration as soon as Trump steps down. She and Pence now make all future campaign events together with Trump running his own white power rallies.
- Trump campaign now insists Haley will debate the Democratic nominee for president.
The GOP wants Biden vs Haley.

See also their move to schedule the impeachment in Senate to damage Bernie and Warren. Many Criticized my prior diary for mentioning HRCs shortcomings as a candidate. Well, it’s time to get over 2016 and do some cold hard analysis. Consider also that my diary is not meant for HRC supporters. Most HRC supporters are already in the Warren or Harris camps already. My diary is aimed at Bernie supporters (like myself) that need to recognize the southern baptist firewall is still going to be a hindrance. Progressives need to run the table early, and only Warren can do that. Take a read or a reread → www.dailykos.com/…
I reiterated this again a separate Diary → www.dailykos.com/…
The GOP need’s a way for suburban Women to feel they are not voting for Trump while still keeping his base out. If they pull off this con though, Trump will not cede the presidency. He will stay in office. First it will be “I want to see the wall completed” which he can drag for 2 years. Then it will be “You know it’s unfair to Nikki to give her ½ a term; I’ll stick it out for her until 2024, then she can start her full term an have the 8 years she deserves.”
