Stone vows to run candidate against Pence if VP makes 2020 bid

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone said in a recent interview that he would run a challenger against Vice President Pence should Pence run for the Oval Office in 2020.

Stone told the conservative website Big League Politics that he doesn’t believe it’s a guarantee that President Trump will run for a second term. Stone said Trump could decide to retire from politics if he accomplishes his agenda in the first four years.

“I could see him saying ‘You know what? I don’t need this anymore. I’ve made America great again. I have kept my promises to the American people. I’m heading off to the golf course,’” Stone said of Trump to the online web show "Howley Reports."
Stone also said he could “guarantee” that he’ll run a candidate against Pence should Trump bow out.

“Mike Pence is not one of us,” Stone said. “Mike Pence is controlled by the Koch brothers, who did everything humanly possible to stop Donald Trump from being president,” he added, referring to billionaire conservative donors David and Charles Koch.

That's going to be challenging from a prison cell, although well-connected mobsters have done such things in the past.

But, when did we "obey" before?

Have we ever seen anything like trump and his doormats' fascism?

The other Make America Hate Again is when McCarthy was in power and all the ugly racism we've had since forever.. etc etc etc.

Although completely different motives and environment. It is scary though, to think this asshole might start a war just so he could demand obedience to anything he says.

Yeah, WWII was about the whole country working together for a common purpose.

trump regime "obey" is about.. "you fall I line and too bad if you don't have a job, enough to eat or a place to live.. the Billionaire$ have a much better life under me.. you don't see them complaining."



Oh yes he will start a war on some country if he can seize an opportunity.

competing Mafia families and what you said makes me think of the suffering of people that cross them.

Stone's comments about the Koch gang brought that to mind. We now have the Koch Family, the Trump/Mercer Family, the Tea Party Family....and on and on.

All competing for money and the top seats of power.....

the obese orange ass does not have to retire to head to the golf course. He goes as often as any retiree, only on taxpayer money. He will not give up the lucrative gig unless he is forced to. He is making money BIGLY while in the WH, and doing whatever he wants to do. Not much actual WORK, though. Stone is exactly what he looks like, a slimebag. He looks like a weasel, only UGLIER. Does he still advertise in swingers mags. for women to join him and his wife in bed?

How does he feel about the Mercers? Why don't all the billionaires blow all their money fighting each other and leave the world to the sane, moral people instead? Don't they have better things to do with their money than trying to rule the WORLD? Oh wait, they are the GOP. Nevermind.

.... his next choice as presi-Dunce. Ted Cruz the Nazi Christian ? Or Franklin Graham the Old Testament religious nut job ? Or maybe resurrect Pat Robinson from the death warmed over geriatric buybull bullshit crusty old man - get off my lawn - babbling idiot old geezer with a server case of dementia - has been preacher crowd.

Never a dull moment with this Fascist Conservative Rethug political dirty trickster like Roger Stone. Keep your barf bag handy and ready - this guy is puke city personified.
