Donald Trump Planning To Just Let Mike Pence Run The Country, Apparently

But if you want to get a sense of just how easy Trump imagines the office to be, you should check out the Robert Draper’s account of how Trump came to select Pence as his running mate in The New York Times Magazine.

Kasich is lying/blackmailing Trump’s campaign to pay off his effing campaign debts. That is all.

I drew a picture of a monkey at a desk in photoshop at my old job and the boss put it on the bulletin.

for some reason we would die laughing every time we passed it. I think mine was scratching his head though.

These are such WEAK ####ING stories!!!!!

borrowed a few lines. Pence will really be in charge?!?!

like i’ve said before, i’m a worrier and even i’m not worried about this nonsense.

“See, Trump has, throughout his campaign, made it clear that he believes that being president is a really easy job - no sweat for him!”

I guess the idea of actually accomplishing things, working hard and doing what you say is so foreign to these leftist POS morons that they can’t conceive of anyone ELSE actually doing it.

NOthing wrong with Trump setting an agenda with broad goals and having Pence implement it.
