21. I hope he tries #3. It's one thing to play rope-a-dope when you're the president

of the United States, but he won't be able to ignore subpoenas and delay document disgorgement forever as a citizen. I think he will have trouble finding serious lawyers to even take his cases. Unfortunately, he will have a war chest, but he's got severe financial problems around the corner.

EDIT:

I guess I'm in the minority in that I don't believe Pence will run for president. I see him going straight to the Christian Nationalists, where he is idolized.
