Hey, we like Vice President Mike Pence a lot and look forward to the day when he takes over the Oval Office and puts his “Handmaid’s Tale” vision of America into practice, what with the concentration camps for gays and all. But, come on, who on the Republican side didn’t get a little excited by the idea of Pence stepping aside and Nikki Haley making it a Trump/Haley ticket in 2020?
Haley put any rumors that she has her eye on the vice presidency to rest on Wednesday:
Enough of the false rumors. Vice President Pence has been a dear friend of mine for years. He has been a loyal and trustworthy VP to the President. He has my complete support. ❤️?? pic.twitter.com/waPyQjC8Eb

As far as we’ve seen, all the placards at Trump’s campaign rallies just read Trump … so if Pence decided he’d had it, then maybe there’d be a chance?
What false rumors?

Rumors that she will replace Pence as VP on the 2020 ticket.

This isn't how you quell rumors, it's how you start them:)

He’s not wrong.
So you’re replacing him on the ticket, then?

I haven’t heard anything about this but am now very suspicious.

This sounds like a feint maneuver in advance of a lethal surprise attack.

Not a denial. Not even close.

I like Mike, but I think the ticket may be stronger with you as the VP candidate and then taking over the job in 2024. But Mike has done a solid job.

Consider the rumors, which everyone knew about and was discussing, squashed

Haven't heard any rumors, but now 100% sure they're true

unless the rumor was that he didn't have your full support on Twitter, I'd say you just made it worse, Nikki

There haven't been any rumors, but it is obvious what this means – you are replacing him on the ticket for 2020.

Does this mean you’ll keep Pence as your VP when Trump fakes a heart attack and you step in as the candidate for 2020? https://t.co/thdkidbyAF

Will you please at least promise to run in 2024 with @DanCrenshawTX as your running mate.
