There won’t be anyone.Only President Trump can stand up to the Republican Party, The Democrat Party, and the main stream media nipping at his heels like a pack of hyenas 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

That’s great if so. He’s being useful.
If such is the case, Mr. Pence did not need to be in attendance at that meeting. The president may have wanted some visible support during that outburst of a conference.
Trump knew that most the media would be on Nancy and Chuck’s side.

I’m hanging with Mike Pompeo for the top spot!

Who could possibly stack up against the guy who helped open up No. Korea for US?

Besides that, having a bit of leadership at CIA as background doesn’t hurt either.

I don’t know if the president wanted it that way.

I've been in many a meeting when, somebody either above my pay grade or has taken ownership of the narrative of the meeting, you let them own it and go. VP Mike Pence was doing just that - no need for him to interrupt or add to what PDJT was getting across.

You could be correct.
Maybe Trump sharply corrected Pence in the past for
dipping in when it was not directly called for.
Mike didn’t wish to be barked at again for the same thing.

It was a paraphrase and extraction from memory.

Since WWII, the people have moved the presidency from one major party to the other every 8 years with only 2 exceptions.
Carter was so miserable the people moved early after 4 years, and Reagan was popular enough to help Bush 41 get elected but that wore off in 4 years.

After either 4 or 8 years swing voters tend to want the other party in power. The rest of the electorate changes very little.

The list was formidable not the aspirants.

I think this is interesting:

John Nance Garner was the 32nd VP under FDR and once described the office of the vice presidency as being “not worth a bucket of warm piss.” [This quote was Bowdlerized for many decades to “not worth a bucket of warm spit” by the media. The incorrect version is still used on occasion by writers who say they never heard or read it any other way.

Should he do so, we can only hope and pray he will supply the chosen one a list of “how tos”, goals, strategies, and one liners. Might some scientist be bold enough to attempt to clone our VSG POTUS?

I could see Pence serving for one term like 41’. He’d have to take himself out in 28’ and turn it over to the voters. The pendulum does swing and it would take a lot more than 41’ was willing to do to give us 16 years. A lot can happen, especially in the next 2 years.

Yup. It reminds me of this supposedly true anecdote ...

Bess Truman being interviewed ...

“Mrs Truman, could you get the President to stop saying ‘manure’ so much?”

“Hon, it took me thirty years to get him to say ‘manure’!”

If Trump does run in the 2020, these marginal challengers will mostly all drop out by the 5th state primary.

It’s a learning process for Vice President Spence, who is already conservative enough. *And I don’t care who gets the old girls excited.* If they want to help save our nation, they need to be more analytical (logical) and less intuitive (emotional).

That would be like asking “Who will succeed Elvis?” Impossible to know. Both permanently disrupted their respective domains. Both changed their respective landscapes beyond recognition. Who can know what comes next?

The math is pretty simple.

From 2016 to 2020....

(1) About 3 million new naturalized citizens. They vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

(2) About 11 million deaths - net loss of at least 1 million Republicans.

(3) About 16 million new voters in the 18-22 year old age group. A majority will be non-white, and they vote 80% Democrat. Young white voters are about 55% Republican.

(4) In Florida, about 1 million felons will have their voting rights restored. Since a majority of them are Black and Hispanic, that is not good news for Trump.

I don't see how Trump wins in 2020.

The Democrats will be 100% focused on voter turn out.

The good news?

If we lose, we can still blame it on voter fraud.
