A quite astute political observer and friend, suggests that as Trump’s poll number disintegrate, Repubs may have scenario that would keep them in control. As it is evident on a daily basis, President Trump hates to lose. To avoid potential humiliation, he drops out citing evidence of a media conspiracy combined with a Dem rigged election. The GOP sets up a youth ticket of Nicki Haley and Marco Rubio, a bright, likable woman and solid Hispanic Senator forma key state. The two go after Joe’s age and capitalize on an undercurrent pushing to get the national leadership younger. This pair would save the senate for Repubs and in all probability be elected. Unless of course there is a Dem conservancy to rig an election. Nicki Haley for President. Has a nice ring to it.
