(32,703 posts)Why would Mike Pence want to give Chump 4 more years - for any reason?
That's a serious question. He's taken abuse and disrespect from Chump for the last 4 years, why would he want to help him now? It wouldn't mean that Mike Pence would get to be Potus himself, because he'll never get that chance. OK maybe he gets to be Potus for half a day, if Chump resigns at the last minute in order for Pence to "pardon" him. That scenario could happen, and it has been suggested by several DUers. (A shoutout to Mineral Man)
But this "coup via Electoral College" scenario is not only absurd, but it also relies on the goodwill of Mike Pence. It assumes he wants to continue the reign of terror by Chump. That's the part I don't get. I believe he's done, and he's ready to retire.
