I could imagine him dragging Pence down with him. Not because of any conspiracy, but because he is honestly that fucking dumb and spiteful.
Would you want Pence for President?
I don't know much about Pence, but from what I've heard about him here, he could do a lot of damage. It could be like Nixon being replaced by Spiro Agnew. But they dumped Agnew who was under investigation for getting kickbacks from contractors (not even related to Nixon's Watergate crap), and replaced him with Gerald Ford before Nixon quit. Even Ford was acceptable to the Democrats. Would you want Pence for President?
No. I'd rather have Trump. Trump just wants to make the rich (including himself) richer. Pence wants to make the rich richer by instituting a far fucking right Christian theocracy.
Even though the President manages the FBI, possible "obstruction of justice" charges can still apply. It depends on the details.
Well, hiring Guzman would maybe help him with liberal and Hispanic voters?
