Obviously, he's the most prominent Republican. But there's a lot more to the party than Trump. Many prominent Republicans (the Bushes, etc) can't stand him.
"Pence will never pull it off, was a failed, bankrupt politician before Trump picked him for VP"
Pence is a failure of a politician? Let's see, he was elected to the United States Congress. Then he left that to run for Governor of Indiana which he won. Then he left that to be VP in a race which no one said he could win, but he did. So what are the failures, exactly, which completely define him in your eyes?
Ask his brother
"Nikki Haley
She's far too smart to run as Trumps VP, she already distanced herself from him for good reason"
You know hwat the reasons were? Last time I checked, she never hinted at the reasons. Yet somehow you know. Please, don't keep all this knowledge to yourself, please share, enlighten us?
She said nothing, maybe her parents told her: "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"
Nikki Haley is going to likely be on the executive ticket in 2020 or 2024. She will be a serious candidate.
"We elected one conspiracy theorist, might be worth repeating"
Oh, my goodness. What conspiracies did Tom Cotton embrace?

During his senate campaign, he told a tele-townhall that "ISIS and Mexican drug cartels joining forces to attack Arkansas was “an urgent problem."
I'm sure you would love him, he's like Rand Paul with a aggressive foreign policy stance. Perfect for your Tea Party mentality.
He'd do as well as Goldwater.
Cotton is a tedious, hyper-partisan, deeply cynical political operator who loves to put on a demagogic show. There is cruelty in Cotton, but the trouble isn't that he's mean to his colleagues. We ought to worry more about the people whose names never make the newspaper, but who suffer at the hands of this rigid ideologue who has devoted his career to slashing funds for those who need it most here at home and cheer-leading for ever more war and military aggression abroad.
