Mike Pence is going to pick the next POTUS, and it ain't gonna be him... [View all]

He is balls deep in this Russian thing, but if/when 45 goes, unless Pence is IMMEDIATELY removed with him (which won't happen), Pence will be picking his veep, and THAT person will be the next POTUS.

Even if we drag this out unto 2018, Pence is *STILL* going to get to pick his own veep.

He is *literally* a traitorous king (sic) maker.
