Pence just totally showed up Trump in Texas. Pence is planning a 2020 run. I call it now.

Everybody on CNN (and a few others) are praising highly Pence's conduct in Texas (he got his hands dirty by helping to pick up debris, is in with the people, showing compassion, etc) and saying that he is making Trump look pathetic. I can't stand Pence (and I don't think he'd ever win the presidency) but I think it's hilarious. Pence is clearly planning a 2020 run. He just showed up the "president" by just imitating human behavior.

10. Every little bit helps

said the little old man as he peed into the sea.

15. I don't buy phony photo-ops by any GOP-

colluding Russia lover.

[Zoonart]

2. Pence is running for president in 2018.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Agreed.

His "electorate" are Republican Congresspersons who he wants to convince would be quietly willing to ditch Trump.

[anneboleyn]

13. Lmfao. You're right!

[SummerSnow]

3. I agree. But I called it before you in my dreams.lol

[Orangeutan]

4. I can't stand that beatific look he gets on his face

whenever he stands next to Trump (but being careful to stand a step back from him) with his arms hanging down and his fingers enfolded.

8. I can't stand that look either. It's calculated to fool his low-info base but it ain't fooling me.

[anneboleyn]

14. He won't ever get elected in a general election campaign as he's a total dolt. But he'll try.

[cloudbase]

21. Careful.

Most people thought the same about Trump.

I can't imagine it, either, but you never can tell.

[exboyfil]

5. This just might send Trump

Over the edge. He can't fire Pence. I wonder if he knows that.

[Purveyor]

6. As the incumbent President...

As the incumbent President... not a scintilla of doubt in my mind.

[Solly Mack]

7. People who praise Pence are idiots.

[Bradshaw3]

11. Pence is a scumbag, he's dangerous, a phony but ...

compared to shitgibbon he looks halfway normal. That's how far we've fallen.

[anneboleyn]

16. I know, and it's terrifying. Pence is a giant Joel Osteen-like phony. The fact that he can show up

Trump just shows how pathetic Trump is --

[Bradshaw3]

18. It sure does

Though I take no comfort in it.

[Freethinker65]

12. I hope when Trump really gets cornered he takes down Pence for spite

[anneboleyn]

17. I think he'll try. Pence will play dumb. But he'll be contaminated by his association w/Trump

[Jakes Progress]

19. Pence has always planned on being POTUS before 2020.

Republicans are counting on it.

[GeorgeGist]

20. God, he's repulsive.
