    They're all going to get rekt but I wonder who will be left standing? My money is on Nikki Haley. She checks a lot of boxes meanwhile she's a complete fucking ghoul. So I expect all the big money to push her until they're stuck, again, with Trump just making a mockery of all of this and taking the grand prize.

    lol

    I can't wait.

      My money is on Nikki Haley.

      That's a good bet.

      I think only two Trump competitors seem like normal human beings. Her and Christie. Christie has big asshole energy but he looks like a tub of goo and he has permanent loser stench.

      Haley also has serious veep potential. None of the others do.

        She's a socially acceptable Sarah Palin which given her actual record, is accurate and/or scary as fuck.

          Exactly.

          She's acceptable Palin with a brain.

          For me a nightmare scenario is that Trump picks her to be veep and after soon after he gets the nomination he dies of a massive heart attack. His health is a black box. Haley becomes the nominee and even though she's a woman - the GOP rallies around her. Trumpsters know she will "carry on Trump's legacy" and more moderate republicans see her as "carrying on the better parts of Trump's legacy". She energies the party, cruises to victory, and helps GOP down ballot candidates across the US.

      CNN was pushing Nikki Hayley as the potential "first Asian American woman president" lmao.

      The thing is they're not even wrong, her parents are from India, and she uses her second name and husband's surname to be more appealing to the racist republican voterbase.
