Oops, Am I starting a conspiracy theory?


Mike Pence being put in charge of C-Virus-control finally cements a really bizarre theory that has been sort of involuntarily fermenting in my brain…
It started with:
What the hell is Tulsi Gabbard up to? What was up with that weirdly orchestrated tiff with Hilary Clinton followed by the odd right-leaning swipes she’s been taking at, well, just about everybody, corresponding with her support-ish-seeming comments re: A-Hole Face?

A few weeks ago I started saying what I was thinking- at the risk of being criticized- as it dawned on me that Gabbard has gone eerily quiet, leaving me with a creeping feeling that A-Hole Face is planing an October-Surprise-Style move i.e. firing Pence and replacing him with Gabbard.

Bear with me: so, with this Mike Pence assignment right when we have confirmation that A-Hole-Face is bungling C-Virus…I ‘m thinking he's setting up Pence in order to blame him for what is clearly going to be a debacle (positioning to cut heating aid in exchange for coronavirus funding- like he’s TRYING to compound the prob). Then he can sack Pence and have’him'a fresh new VP, one that will make heads explode (and whom he can creepily ogle).

Thoughts? Crazy?

would a dictator do? A dictator would want to keep power so I think there is a better chance he would put Jr. in as VP. You know Trumpsters are already chanting 46 when
Jr. shows up. You know he could get away with it, it has been proven the Republican party will back him on anything.

Trump would love for her to run Third Party, I am sure. If she could garner just a couple of percent of votes, that could be enough to sway a close election.

then he will resign during the next term so that she can be first female President. He doesn't care anything about Gabbard.

Biden made a big deal about how he was involved in stopping Ebola during Obama's administration. trump was watching or someone filled him in, so in order to top Biden and Obama, he decided to put pence in charge. I don't think they're going to change horses in the middle of the stream.
