"Hawk Tuah" came to Taylor's defense ... saying she should do whatever makes her happy ... and while Maher begrudgingly agreed, he bluntly predicted, "He's gonna dump her, though, You know that? With her, it's like the Gatorade at the Super Bowl, you know you're gonna get dumped. You just don't know when."
