A Pence October Surprise

Pence is out campaigning like a real trooper. Hitting state after state, rallying the Christian base and working himself to the bone.
Now we hear that at least five of his staff have been tested positive with the virus.

What's to say that only a few days before the election, Pence is tested positive and has to go into critical care and with his ability to survive the virus in doubt, tells Americans that he cannot in good faith ask them to make him VP for a second term.

So, in in the wildest chances this or some similar type of curve ball come our way, who do you think Trump might ask to fill in as his new VP candidate?

Me? I'd go with Hannity.

Good question.

I really have no idea, not even American.
But I would love to see Kayleigh McEnany as VP or even president.
It would make for and interesting 4 years and probably a good 4 years too.

This is clearly one of those Lala land scenarios, but I never pass up a chance to plug Joni Ernst for a high office position. The kind of woman with experience and credentials that inspire young girls everywhere to work hard and the their damned best!

Joni Ernst and Ron DeSantis are my current dream team. Either one works for either position, but working together they can really rebuild this place after Trump finishes in '24.

Finn?

This is the mudpit, isn't it?

Jesus.

But nobody would believe it was the real Jesus anyway and he would get slammed on social media.

Nikki Haley would be good.But she's going to be on the 2024 ticket I bet.

Now we’re hoping Covid gets Pence? Also, this isn’t really an October surprise. Given that numerous people have already contracted it, survived and are back at work now, the President being an example.

VP is afforded the same care as POTUS. If anything, it’ll give that same boost of support. To have gained personal insight and intimacy with the Coronovirus, beating it showing strength and resolve.

It also demonstrates that even with Mask, Social distancing and the latest measures take in place, you can still get it. A highlight to the severity of it, but also the effective survival rate happening in real time, all during a Presidential election.

That’s the kind of energy and vigor I want from my Administration. To be hit with a deadly plague, survive it and go back to THREE(3) rallies a day all week for practically the rest of the race.

So, nothingburger?

She's too young.


And stupid.

Richard Grenell, he’s like the gay Trump. That would be the troll to end all trolls.

Grenell and Pence are close...which would also make heads explode


Plus unlike Prnce, Grenell will attack and then call straight white liberals homophobic when they won’t cooperate, lol

If Pence did drop out at the last minute...would it nullify any mail-in or early voting?

Flynn would be a great troll.....

No, the RNC would pick a replacement and instruct their Electors to support them.

Although the only caveat is Congress gets to certify the vote and can disagree which means Electors get counted under Federal law. If it doesn't result in 270 votes then the Senate delegations pick the new Vice President.

Some of the crazy things I have seen you post, and you pick Hannity? No offense of course but even I think Hannity is a bloviating lunatic. Why not Jason Chaffetz if you had to pick a fox anchor?

Dammit! COVID HAS to kill someone ... anyone.

I’m not overly busy...and I do shoot him helpful tweets now and then.

Hannity’s not a lunatic just a douche nozzle. I agree with most of what he says but him and Fredo are two peas in a pod.
He gets bonus points from me for calling Brian Stelter ‘humpty’ to his face.

Naw...I think Pence is in the clear now. I think that he already had it. That's why he's being so cavalier now, in my opinion.

Pence insisted on sitting down during the VP debate with Harris, which raised red flags. Why couldn't he stand for 90 minutes, like every other debate? Plus, it looked like he had a case of COVID eye during the debate. He probably it got from Trump or at the AMC announcement super spreader party at the Rose Garden.

Too bad he probably gave it to his staffers.

They probably didn't want to tell anyone, because of the panic and bad image it would cause if both the president and the vice president had COVID at the same time.
