Pence/Erdogan Meeting - Maybe A Set-Up?....... [View all]

Trump screwed up royally with Erdogan/Syria/Kurds. Even the Repugs are furious as to Trump's screw-up.

Pence is sent to Turkey to get Erdogan to back off now. If Erdogan does back-off Pence comes off as a hero here and sets himself up as the Trump alternative and a worthy Trump successor.

We know that Trump tried to draw in Pence in this Ukraine extortion scandal. It looks like Pence is implicated in the Ukraine mess with Rudy, Trump, Pompeo and the three amigos and the two russians that Trump says he doesn't know.

Could it be that Pence was sent to Turkey to foist up his stature to be Trump's successor. You know - I can hear the Repugs saying (if Pence is successful with Erdogan) that he is a stateman and he saved the U.S. from this Trump created mess. I can hear the Repugs getting behind Pence and overlooking any actions of his in the Ukraine mess.

Just sayin......
