The use of a long bill would indicate that there are a lot of flaws in it; some not so hidden.

{Johnson will be rewarded when Trump returns to office.}

Hopefully, as Trump’s new Veep!!!

Would certainly help to carry Wisconsin!!!

Pence would have to resign or be impeached first. Johnson would then have to be approved by the House and the Senate. Good luck with that.

Look for Pompeo or Flynn as the new VP. We will not see Pence again unless its at a trial.

Thanks for sharing the harsh reality of what it would take to replace Benedict Arnold Pence.

All I can add upon your input is there is NO way I foresee President Trump keeping Pence as his running mate in 2024.

He needs a more loyal, courageous governing partner by his side. Hopefully, the process to replace Pence won’t be as arduous as you describe.

I still like Johnson at this point for Trump’s new Veep with Pompeo returning as Defense Secretary.

Flynn is a bit of a lightning rod. Maybe he could try another stint as National Security Adviser, a position that doesn’t require Senate Confirmation.

Of course not, but that's not what the Georgia belle thinks is going to happen. She is a Q adherent and believes that one day soon the military will rise up and inaugurate the truly elected president from the 2020 election into office, and hang Biden and Harris from the inaugural stands or something like that. What she seems to forget is that if Trump's election as president was the valid one then Pence's election as vice-president is just as valid. Can't inaugurate one without the other, and with Pence in the Veep's office then there isn't any opening for Johnson. And if Trump is inaugurated next week or next month or the month after, whatever her timeline of the day is, then he can't run again in 2024.

I’m hearing most likely Pompeo for VP and Flynn for Sec State. Johnson is not in that equation but I’m sure he will be rewarded. I wouldn’t be too worried about senate confirmation. Looks like Mitch is getting ready to ditch and Mitt received a prayer meeting from somebody.

Gotta keep the Biden train on the track. We get it. 😄

Its tough when your rooting for Biden but he just keeps falling down and you’re not sure which day Trump is coming back. No wonder you’re so freaked out. 😆

I hope that I interrupt your post correctly.

Indeed, if what Georgia Girl 2 states is in fact the case, that would essentially be an acknowledgement that Trump actually won in 2020. Of course, we know Trump—and Pence—did win, which I see is the ONLY reason why Trump would have any bars to surmount to pick a new running mate.

For right now, I’ll adhere to my preference to Johnson.
President Trump will need somebody from one of the quintet of contested swing states next time—and Senator Johnson stands out in my book.

The only other person who comes to my mind is Georgia’s former Congressman Doug Collins, although I hope he will either somehow challenge Kemp for Governor or run against Warnock, who’s up for reelection next year.

Thanks for explaining things to both Georgia Girl 2 and me.

Thanks for your posts.

I just don’t see anyway Flynn will be successfully confirmed for any position, no matter whether Mitch is there or not.

We shall see . . .

I think in coming months you are going to see a total reconfiguration of the senate. Trump will have whoever he wants in his cabinet.

You're quite amusing.

....and you’re not sure which day Trump is coming back.

On the contrary, as I've said before the earliest Trump can return to office is January 20, 2025 and I hope he does. You're the one who keeps saying that Trump, for Go knows what reason, is laying low waiting for the exact right moment, whenever that may be, when he will order the military to rise up, execute everyone in sight in D.C., and return him to office. You're the one who doesn't seem to know when Trump is returning, though if you've finally settled on a day when Trump is coming back then by all means enlighten us. Until that happens then your claims that I prefer Biden is no more accurate than the rest of your stuff.

“You’re not sure which day Trump is coming back”.

You’re hoping that day is never right? 😆

Wish I shared your optimism.

However, I am praying that we won’t get any relief until November 2022 when hopefully the GOP gains majorities in both chambers of Congress.

Then, our entire future survival hinges on President Trump returning to the Oval Office in January 2025—such a LONG TIME!!!

Was watching for a miracle yesterday (March 4).
Now, I saw something about March 20th.

We need divine intervention a.k.a. A MIRACLE!!!
