Trump plans to saddle his veep with most of the duties of being president. Because why not?

Anyone looking to tune in to the Republican National Convention this week to hear from the man the GOP is seeking to send to Washington to run the country needs to adjust their DVRs, because that speech won't be given by Republican presidential nominee and apocalyptic circus peanut Donald Trump on Thursday. Rather, it will be given by the party's vice-presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on Wednesday night.

So what gives? Well, it's not entirely surprising. 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’ve always thought Pence would be an awesome president, so if true, let’s go do it.

Even if true, the story wouldn’t make me choose Clinton over Trump.

I'm glad you mentioned broads (SNX).

Donald and Mike Pence are in the back of a limo driving to a rally.

Donald looks out the window and says, "Vavavavoom....a 42 Triple D. Check it out Mike."

Mike Spence looks puzzled and says, " That's odd. I don't remember a
