So, is Pence pretty much President now?

[NightWatcher]

He's in Texas doing what a president is supposed to do in a tragedy, shaking hands and speaking in a non robotic tone expressing himself in complete sentences. Also he was in the White House Situation Room during the storm while Donnie Dingleberry was alone in a room watching the Weather Channel from Camp David.

trump doesn't get briefed, nor do members of his administration listen to a word he says. If pence is already doing the job, do you think it might be more or less likely that trump gets eased on out of office anytime soon?

1. Maybe requires less of a retinue than 45?

Or 45 has lost interest. Or both.

2. The nightmare continues . . .

3. Now? He's been running the show behind the scenes since Nov. 9.

45 is merely a public figurehead. All policies, decisions, appointments, etc. are coming from Pence.

4. In training

Maybe Dump is to suicidal to continue per his child of the corn son's recent comment?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. Probably not.

There is nothing to indicate that he's actually working with Congress, or advising Cabinet members, or any of the things that would really be involved in being President.

With so many people resigning or ignoring Trump, there is simply no one leading.

6. Yep, Father Pence and Mother Karen....

Are The Real POTUS and FLOTUS right now. The other two rich *itch drifters and their family are just placeholders.

7. I don't think anyone's in charge n/t

8. He's a completely reprehensible and vile excuse for a human being.

[Orsino]

9. No.

Trump has paralyzed the Executive Branch. He's all about getting others to do his work, and always has been, but there's nothing much for a Vice President to do.

10. I don't think Pence will ever BE PRESIDENT..I've

don't have much of a reason, except that Pence WAS WITH TRUMP sooooo many times when he shouldn't have been.

13. He does always seem to be at two-scoops elbow

watching him with a funny Nancy Reagan-ish regard. Almost like he's just waiting for 45 to drop so he can jump in and take the oath.

11. Trump wont like these pics one little bit, Pence is openly making a move.

12. every repub president since 1980

has been a figurehead except bush sr. the justification under bush jr was "well it doesn't matter if he's not really president he's surrounded by his cabinet"

[Pope George Ringo II]

14. Sad, failing Vice Presidency

Trump got more votes than Pence. Media should be investigating Pence for not endorsing Trump more.

[NewJeffCT]

15. They'll keep Trump in there

because he is good at distracting from the rest of them destroying America.
