Dear Mr. Pence: This will not be a snarky attack screed, as justified as such a letter might be.

No, I will be impeccably civil and assure you that I wii not only eschew profanity, I will do my very best to avoid even "coarse" language. With that assurance given, please read the following carefully. Let it soak in. Believe it.

Currently, there is speculation that Donald Trump, after he loses the November election, may plan to resign, making you the 46th POTUS. But, the speculation also predicts that you, as the new POTUS, may then PARDON Trump, legally absolving the man for his despicable and traitorous crimes. This next part is REALLY important.

Do you know what a "pariah" is? If not, you can look it up, but suffice it to say that NO ONE wants to have any association with a pariah. IF you pardon Trump, you will quickly learn what it means to be a pariah because you will have made yourself one.

You will not simply have committed political suicide; you will have committed social suicide. People will not only shun you, they will warn others of your presence and remind them of your fawning sycophancy, your mendacity and your holier-than-thou hypocrisy. Personally, in the unlikely event that we meet in the future, I will strive to ONLY glare at you and resist the temptation to spit on you.

"Pariah"---look it up before you do something I guarantee you will regret for the rest of your years.

the spirit of ex-President Gerald Ford. Old Jerry's shade is likely to warn him that pardoning felonious predecessor-presidents does not win one many votes in upcoming elections.
