Trump loses...what incentive for Pence to pardon him? [View all]

People have speculated when Trump loses, he will resign & have Pence pardon any future guilty vetdicts. But what incentive would Pence have? It would kill any attempts by him to run in the future because the animal base won't be enough! In other words, the resignation & the deal should have already been done so that Pence would be the Repub nominee. Don is going to end up with his bare ass blowing in the wind😊
