Is Mike Pence preparing to resign, assume the presidency, or both?

[roamer_1]

This is where we part ways.  He's not "left" nor "right," he's an opportunist who saw opportunity on the right side if the aisle.  For now.

That's right. But every ounce of him is New York Liberal... It is what he was raised in. That is what sets his defaults. So while you are right, he IS a city boy, and must necessarily react according to his raisin.

Nothing like a made up fake story, for gullible people to fall for.

Who is falling for it?

Trump is the guy at the end of the bar who says 'if I were in charge...' He's neither right nor left, he's common sense.

It just so happens that most right wingers ARE right wingers because they also have common sense. If nothing else, Trump and they have that in common.

   Exactly.  He saw an opportunity, a void and a very disgruntled voting base and jumped in.  I do though believe he is a patriot and I also believe he's not going to do anything that doesn't benefit his pockets.  Fortunately, for the most part, lining his pockets will also help this country.

Democrat fantasy. They would LOVE for Pence to resign.
One less person to have to take out to clear the road for a Dem President.
The funniest part was when the Dems/MSM tried to draw Pence into the Stormey scandal.
That made me laugh outloud, literally laugh.
Pence has got to be the most straight Christian White guy in D.C.

And be replaced by Allen West?

Batman?  I thought he died.

Thee Rats and RINOs in the Senate would never confirm.

   OTOH, Cocaine Mitch and a few others would gladly approve the exit of Cruz from their CLUB.

But he's hitting on all eight, just the same.

[corbe]

   So if Pence had to resign for 'little boy' problems or kickbacks from Roberts the Christian or something and Trump appointed Cruz as his VP, McConnell wouldn't make that happen in record time?  Regardless of the 'bud' issue which I may add is very perceptive on your part @Wingnut

a cheap trick... Not so much perceptive as predictive, @corbe ... Like the sun, rising in the morning...
The great swami @Wingnut simply made an educated guess.

    It was a cheapshot, that I deserve, more often than not, but it showed a lack of characterbone or something.

Well...if the cheap shot ever gets you down, we have the back porch in the Lounge, right?  I'll join you any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

    I've read some of the stuff I post here and it don't make a lot of sense to me either, but I've meet many Stoners in my life and they certainly give me a bad name.

For sweet tea, no doubt, amirite?

Yup!   

(@corbe is dying of jealousy.  I live inside a 45 minute drive to legal dispensaries in two different states.  California is the least hassle, but Nevada is across the Colorado River from me. The customers demand high quality smoke.)

[corbe]

    I smoked my first joint in 65, it was 20~Life then in Texas, it's much better now.

  I live 3 houses down from all the good weed I could handle... While I do not partake, it ain't like it's hard to find...

If I were likely to, I would be up in the sticks growing my own.

It was 20-life for freakin' seeds.

Yeah, I could get really good illegal stuff that was skunk weed back in Phoenix, but I've found really good product in the legal stores, guaranteed no pesticides, and quality that can be measured in a lab.  I get these little jars with labels that list all the test results.  Sativa buds that are over 20% THC.

Interesting side note, in AZ the legal medical stuff was reading THC at "unacceptably high levels."  Even higher than the stuff I can get in CA and NV.

Good on ya, I guess, But like my beer (PBR, Rainier, Keystone), and most other things (my coffee comes in a large tin can), I find the mundane to be perfectly acceptable - Lest I let my luxuries outpace my realities - Which I have a tendency toward. I now live on less money per month than I used to spend on mochas alone... And I like myself better this way.

See, I went the other way.  I tolerated the mundane for decades, saving up for the day I can retire, so now I like going upper-crust once in a while (like buying my beer by the keg).  When it came to the legalization of weed, I found that I can get top-notch for what ditch weed used to cost.  It's the magic of Adam Smith's dead hand on markets.  There is a demand for high quality, and a general eschewing of the crap the cartels have been passing off (with the added bonus of knowing the cartels get screwed out of being the middleman).

Win-win.

He's not resigning.

He may have a contingency plan if he succeeds to the Presidency, but I'm sure all vice presidents have that.

But the rest is just speculation.
