What's Pence's Move Here?

If he has any hopes of a political future?

If he pursues the 25th, what? Liberals are going to vote for him four years from now for being "brave" or some shit? If he burns Trump, and this would be the ultimate burn, he loses whatever % of Trump's base who likes him. Plus, who is actually worried about Trump misbehaving over 13 days? Stupid. He'll spend most of that time planning his return to Florida and getting on with this life.

I see no upside here for Pence. That said, the Trump cabinet rats are abandoning the ship left and right.

Trump is radioactive now. Fair or not. The siege on the capital has really been set upon him. With apologies to @Houhusky for yet more creepycoug anecdotal evidence translated to first principle knowledge, I know a more than a handful of righties who have cooled on Trump, even though the policies.

    I think Pence finishes his term then goes to Hawaii for a long break. I think he also got Trump to calm his but down and accept the election and fight later.

    Do you think Trump stays in the fight? Somehow it seems more likely that he fades back into private life again.

    The scorpion and the frog.

    There is no way Trump stays quiet.

    He's done. Enjoy his golden years and retire. If he wanted to have a political future he probably should not have joined the Trump ticket in 2016. He knew that and I think he figured this was his 4 - 8 year political end game.

    If there is no plan, can we at least get an artist’s rendering?

    Pence is done politically. If he has a lick of sense, he lays low for 12 days and rides off into the sunset.

    He'll get some board seats and get paid a bunch of money for books and speeches. Just like all the swamp rats who kowtow to the corporate/globalist masters do.


    I think this is actually a pretty good take.

    Pence is now said to be struggling with whether to attend the inauguration or not. He should. Its not that hard

    Trump is not going and will get shit for it but if he did go it would be a fucking zoo. No one will give him credit but its the right move

    Obama went to his but several dem politicians didn't. DC zoo

    My guess is that Trump isn't sorry to see Joe take over like this seeing as how Team Obama was trying to set him up for a criminal charge at this point in 2017.
