I'll bet a dollar he intends to name himself as the next president. Otherwise, why risk what he has?
So Shrub can have all the power? No, Cheney won't go away. Not unless he is forced to. It will either be him or a close proxy of him who is the chosen heir to the American Empire.

1. Disagree. He wants to be Jeb's VP, the power behind the throne.

2. It wouldn't surprise me - but it would be pretty tough for him
to pull it off. After all, he's basically a blood sucking vampire zombie cyborg from the year 3000. And he's got a bad ticker.

4. why? I hear he is the one who counts the votes
so there won't be any campaign, except for a fake one to make the faked election look as legitimate as they can, under the circumstances. I think Cheney can put anyone he chooses in the Oval Office, just with a phone call or two to his good buddies at Diebold. He put himself there, after all.

As far as the artificially assisted nature of his existence goes, I have NO IDEA how he survived for so long with a chest defibrillator. Heart patients just usually aren't that lucky. I know it's impossible, but I fear Satan is keeping him alive for some future evil purpose. If Satan exists. Otherwise, WTF??? The other explanation can be read in my sig line. But I suppose that too is impossible. I suppose.

3. You mean Mr. "19% approval rating" wants to become POTUS?
Not a chance in hell.

5. Nope, I don't think so. I think his health is failing.
Look at him closely the next time he's on TV. e's pale as a set of white sheets, skin is stretched thin, and we've all seen the pics of him falling asleep at several meetings.

I think your concerns about his political future are all for naught.

6. I guess it depends on how easy you think it is to steal an election
I don't think it's quite that easy, but I recognize that people disagree with me on this one.

He is just a sadistic thug...he wants to loot and BLEED this country dry for himself and his loathesome buddies. Even he can't be deluded enough
to think that with an approval rating of what 5%, 10%(?) he has a chance in hell.

I think he just wants to plunder and pillage, with nice little perks of the job like getting all those brown people tortured.

8. What doesn it matter to him?
He's already increased his personal wealth and power exponentially over the last 5 1/2 years. It's all gravy from here on out to him.
