I am not sure Trump will be able to physically hold out to November, his neurological deterioration seems to be accelerating. But if he makes it and he wants people to vote for a him in that condition, he is gonna have to assure his base a radical fascist successor. I doubt Pence is the one who can fill Trump’s shoes. And anyway, the gun toting incels don’t want to be moralized to.
If he drops Pence, it is a sure sign that he believes that his minions may be worried that he will no longer be able to carry out his awesome responsibilities with the awesomeness he brings to them.
Here are some folks who may be able to “step up” if Trump no longer can. What do you think? Obviously I am being snarky but I think the reality is that he will be forced to name a new VP.
