It's pretty delicious

that Mike Pence is about to have the entirety of the blame for Trump's loss thrust upon him. Trump is setting him up as the ultimate fall guy, and when Pence doesn't leap up and somehow make Trump the winner of the election in the next few hours (Trump has just told the rally crowd that he has the power to do this), he will be thrown under the bus so fast it will be a blur.

Pence has knelt before Trump for four years watching him stab loyalist after loyalist in the back and saying nothing. He must have seen this coming, but he never for one moment stopped shining Trump's shoes. Now he's going to get both of those shoes in the face.

Oh well!

With his political career blown up, maybe he'll have time to read Michael Cohen's book.

that he could not forgive. Pence also seems like a vindictive person and this smells like payback. He doesn't have a spine or ethics.

except his own. If Pence is no longer VP, then trump can't resign and get a Pence pardon. He would have to try to pardon himself, which constitutional scholars say is a no go.

I blame every single person who VOTED for DJT!!!! I also blame all the boot lickers DJT put in the Whitehouse - not one of them had the courage to stand up to DJT. They had front row seats to the treasonous things DJT was doing and going to do. And.......after 4 years long they just kept their mouths shut and looked the other way and let DJT destroy our government and constitution!!! They are all traitors and treasonous and should be charged with treason.
