On Veep Debate. Today may be a strange debate between theoretically TWO future debates. Kamala Harris may well be America's first woman President after Biden. BUT it is PLAUSIBLE that Pence is ALSO a future Potus. No no no, he'll never WIN an ELECTION.. but it is still plausible
It is PLAUSIBLE (unlikely) that Pence takes over from Trump as POTUS 46 in last months before Biden takes over, in that case as POTUS 47. Trump could step down or be forced to quit, or his health could deteriorate with Covid & aftermath, and force him out for health or worse
Let me remind you, Pence was so popular in the red state of Indiana, that he was headed for defeat as Governor back in 2016, when Manafort (=Putin) forced Trump to dump Chris Christie (Trump's choice) for Veep & take Pence instead. Trump hates Pence. Pence would lose any election
But yes... when looking at today's Veep debate, bear in mind, that could be Potus 46 and Potus 48 on that stage. Or more likely it is Potus 47 debating a future felon.
Also their debate will not be an interruptathon like Trump's debates always are...

I am 100% certain Trump is getting such advice. Let's consider what could happen..
Speculation Trump Stepping Down 2/20
If you remember Ross Perot, an 'eccentric Billionaire', who has most successful third party run for President of past century, getting 19% of vote in 1992 (Clinton-Bush). When Perot saw he was definitely going to lose, he dropped out of race
Speculation Trump Stepping Down 3/20
But Perot later returned. Typical eccentric weirdness. Anyway. It is not unusual for a candidate who is destined to lose, to quit running. ESPECIALLY if the campaign is broke (& to add, Trump owes $1.1 Billion in debt, needs to pay interest)
This is a thread about how Trumpomobsters are playing Trump - but also must play each OTHER - to try to stay out of prison as Trump loses the election this November.
Game of Chicken is when 2 cars race towards each other, and one must swerve
Game of Chicken Thread 2/18
I am discussing the end scenarios for the Trumpomobsters (Barr, Pence, Ivanka etc) as Trump will lose his election. I have set up two threads to explain the premises to this thread. PLEASE READ Game Theory: Prisoner's Dilemma
So please read FIRST the two threads, about Prisoner's Dilemma (link in previous Tweet) & this thread: Explains what is the Trumpomobster gang. They are not politicians AND NOT regular MOBSTERS. Please read before you continue
We're discussing the exit plans for the Trumpomobsters (Barr, Pence, Ivanka etc) as SS Trumpomess sinks. This thread sets up the discussion, by examining how the Trump White House differs from normal politicians & from normal mobsters
Trumpomobster Thread 2/17
Any NORMAL White House starts with much of the top tier of that party's best political minds. Trump was different. He feuded with GOP and didn't use his convention in 2016 to unify his party, leaving tons of 'never Trumpers'.
Trumpomobster Thread 3/17
Under any NORMAL White House, the FIRST TIER talent is the best of the best, & then as there is inevitable turnover, the 'second tier' or second bench gets into White House, & in 2-term Presidency goes down to 3rd tier talent or worse (= often scandals)
We're discussing today the 'exit strategies' or 'stay out of jail' ploys of the various Trumpomobsters (Barr, Pence, Ivanka etc). To set it up, I'll first introduce a psychological behavior pattern called the 'Prisoner's Dilemma' - very well known
Thread Prisoner's Dilemma 2/9
Prisoner's Dilemma is a game theory. It is a very simplified human behavior situation (almost over-simplified) but is VERY well known & accepted. The best known usage is if 2 criminals are caught, interviewed separately, & offered chance to confess
Thread Prisoner's Dilemma 3/9
In the dilemma, two criminals are caught. Interviewed separately. Asked to confess, where either individually will walk free, but the partner does full time. If neither talks, both get a short sentence instead. That is called 'Prisoner's Dilemma'
What does #LeningradLindsey Graham desperate crying on Fox tell us about the GENERAL race in November?
We ALREADY heard that Trump campaign is broke. It means Putin is NOT funding Trump this cycle. Big GOP donors have abandoned Trump (because they know he will lose)
Now Lady G?
As #LeningradLindsey admits his campaign is in financial trouble, and Trump admits same - it means ALL Republican campaigns are feeling the same squeeze
Think about THIS McTurtle. He is PRETENDING all is fine, but Amy McGrath is scaring the wax out of our McTurtle #MoscowMitch
If the two highest-profile Republicans, Trump & Lady G are in financial trouble SIX WEEKS before election day, it means ALL other Republicans ARE feeling a serious squeeze.
Let me illustrate what a total idiot Trump has been. He now knows he will lose in November, all his own campaign staff say so, his FUNDING has ended, even Putin has stopped sending money because Trump will lose the election. Hence #TrumpCoupPlot
Idiot Convict Thread 2/12
Trump has committed a LONG series of crimes from LONG before he became President. Some of those are TAX crimes for example in New York state - crimes Pence cannot pardon Trump for. Trump is already investigated for tax crimes by NY Attorney General
Idiot Convict Thread 3/12
So I am not talking about Trump's NEW crimes while Potus, they will be ADDED ONTO his rap sheet while he is in prison & will go through DOZENS of criminal trials, losing most of them
I'm talking taxes. Tax crimes don't expire. No statute of limitations
