Jared and Ivanka fought to boot Mike Pence to save GOP's 2020 ticket from defeat: Ex-Trump official

June 22, 2020

By Sarah K. Burris

Tuesday, former national security adviser John Bolton’s book will be released to the public. Advance copies have already been sent out and hardcopies have been shipped to hit porches. One tidbit of information included in the pages was that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump did want to get rid of Vice President Mike Pece from the 2020 election ticket.

The conversation was being held around Christmas 2018 when Trump went to Iraq to visit the troops after he was criticized for never stopping to visit troops in war zones as his predecessor did.

“Certainly, there have been a number of people telling people in the White House, including the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump, that Nikki Haley would be a politically smart choice to replace Pence,” Axios reporter Jonathan Swan reported. “So this is partly why a lot of these rumors have been circulating.”

“These are fealty tests, these are loyalty tests,” said journalist Tom LoBianco. “For some of them they feel it is incredibly demeaning of him, and it goes to this point of him playing the long game. He has to survive, you know, the talk … about Jared (Kushner) and Ivanka (Trump), ways to get rid of him. Politically, you need to bring back suburban voters and women.”

But she's not stupid and I don't know if she would want to tie herself to the Trump Train.

(Insert video - because I don't know how - of that old time train going off the rails on fire.)

She has designs on the White House but she's savvy enough to bide her time. Same with Paul Ryan. He lusts after the Resolute Desk too, but he disconnected from this administration thinking he would be able to rise from the ashes and some such crap.

I also think the Trumpers would deep-down have a problem with the fact that Haley is a woman of color. He's been stroking that racist fire for too long.

Nikki (I misspelled her name - thanks) is much more intelligent than Sarah Palin, but she would definitely be on her way to the garbage bin of history.

You’re in charge of the task force
I’m taking over the pressers
Look at the ratings. (Pushing Pence’s nose in it)
And on and on

Pence sits there and takes it out of blind loyalty or willing to take the abuse for the money I guess. Who knows. If Pence wasn’t such a potted plant he’d have left by now.

If Nikki H. was not the choice of the Orange One, Pence was still going. The contingent replacement would have been . . . . wait for it . . . . . . . Jared or Ivanka. (My money's on the latter.)

...Ivanka and Jared tell Trump he lost because he kept Pence. And he will believe it.

Female
Not White
While a Christian still celebrates Hindu holidays with her Hindu family members

But the main reason? She took down the confederate battle flag from the S.C. state House. She is hated by the racist base.
