All the Google News stories for the last 16 hours mentioning Pence:
"Ivanka is upstaged by the vice president's pet rabbit" (and more on the bunny)
"Vice President Pence firms up details for Friday's Montana visit"
"Remarks by the Vice President and Mrs. Pence to Military Families"
"Obama's Ambassador To Russia Says It's 'Unlikely' That Flynn Was ..." (mentioning that Flynn 'misled' the 'oh-so-naive' Pence)
"Jakarta Governor Given 2-Year Sentence for Comments on Islam" (Pence visited them recently)
Because Pence knows he's far closer to the presidency now than ever, if he can just look like he had nothing to do with Russia, or, as far as possible, the Trump campaign. He can't let himself be associated with whoever Trump nominates to cover things up at the FBI. He'll be reading up on how Gerald Ford playing things in '73 and '74.

Seems we both had the same theory.

(685 posts)trump has no intentions of running in 2020, Pence will run for president.
No one will get impeached, not even sure if anyone will go to jail. The only chance we have is to take over both houses in 2018 and hope for 2020 dem pres
