Who would be President Pence's Vice President?

Haley or Rubio if Florida has a Republican governor at the time. But Haley brings more assets to the table.

Trump isn't going to be impeached. Sheesh, do you guys ever stop with this nonsense?

There has to be an actual crime to impeach him. I've heard a lot of unnamed sources drop a lot of allegations, but not any proof. Show me proof of a cover-up and I'll be the first to call for his removal from office.

Let's say that Trump takes my advice (if I could give it to him). I'd tell him to not seek reelection and focus on getting the "wall" (which means a fence and thousands of new border patrol agents, guys) built, deport as many illegals as possible, eventually provide for a phased withdraw from NAFTA, and work with the Democrats on infrastructure and maybe criminal justice reform (which I know is a pipe dream with this President, I admit). Trump can stand down in 2020 and cast himself as a modern day Cincinatus and turn the keys over to Pence.

Oh yeah, and the answer is clearly Haley. She's been positioning herself for 2024 since the SC primary.

Yeah, every word of this is correct.  Trump needs to get four domestic agendas done in his first term: Obamacare repeal (using the upcoming senate bill as the starting point, rather than the AHCA), tax reform (should be easy, and should have been done first), immigration (build a wall and deport as many criminal illegals as possible), and infrastructure (to throw a bone to the democrats, hopefully at the beginning of 2019 so we see some results by the 2020 election).  Those four things, along with renegotiating NAFTA and other trade agreements, and continuing what he's been doing with foreign policy will leave him a pretty solid legacy.  Then he can announce in late 2019 that he isn't planning to seek reelection, and turn it over to Pence.  Those issues were his big ones during his campaign, so he can easily say, "Look, I'm 74, I accomplished more in 4 years than any other president has done in 8, I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish, etc.".

And as Sanchez said, if Pence gets the nomination in 2020, of course Haley will be VP.

And the likelihood of this happening is?

I give it 20%. Trump knows when to hold them and when to fold them.

Sanchez, not sure why you deleted that comment, but I don't see Trump's legislative skill as a matter of negotiating and holding and folding. It's about the popularity of these measures, the coalition's ability to force Congress to pass it, and so on.

What you listed, altogether, is very arduous to pass, with a popular president. I don't see Trump having the capital or political cachet to pass it. Especially healthcare & tax reform.

51 votes and 218 in the House. Cloture doesn't apply to vice presidential nominations under the 25th right?
