Mike Pence should leave the ticket.

If he hopes to have any kind of a future in politics, he should get out now. He is on the Titanic and there is only a life vest left. He better grab it fast.

Not that I care about Mike Pence, just saying.

at some point due to self preservation. He just said "Fuck it. I'm out!". It should be the final blow to this neo-fascist farce. Sure 30%+ morons would still vote for him. But no half way sane person would.

5. Trump "is" his "life vest."

He was losing his race for governor, badly.


This is how he will "frame" his loss as the VP on the ticket:

1. I didn't want to do it, but the RNC begged me.

2. I figured I could at least be a modulating force to Trump's craziness.

3. I "took one for the team" by doing that ugly job.

4. Now my profile is raised sufficiently that maybe some wingnut big money donors will fund me for a Senate challenge in the outyears.


It's All Good for Pence--when your running mate is utter shit, by contrast, even if you stink yourself, you smell like a rose!

According to the young Turks.



It does kind of make sense. The republicans didn't fight very hard to keep Trump from getting the nod. They figure this Russian thing will blow up (Trump will let them have the Ukraine and Estonia to settle his personal debt) the democrats will impeach him, and Pence is more along the lines of what the republicans wanted all along.
