The worse Donald the Orange Traitor does, the better for him. And I bet Mother wants to live in the White House and calls Melania names.

(4,150 posts)8. Trump is not obligated to select Pence as the VP candidate in 2020
Harry Truman was in his first term as Veep even though FDR was on his fourth as POTUS. Trump cannot fire a sitting Veep as they are elected by the electoral college.

The VP is an elected office. All trump could do is to select a new VP for 2020 but that would be messy if Pence ran for the nomination
