That's amazing, how did you come by this remarkable information?

Yeah, so you made some shit up.  Please refrain from that in the future. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Much bette question: Where do Pence's loyalties lies?  Will he be leading a charge against the Democrats while plotting to have GOP Senators vote against Trump?

Pence's loyalties lie with Pence, of course.  Back in 2016 when the "grab them by the pussy" tape came out, Pence was angling around about dumping Trump and putting him at the head of the ticket.

Since then, however, he's done his best to prove his utmost loyalty to Trump.

I have no doubt that when it comes to it Pence would have no doubt sticking the dagger in Trump's back - but he'll only do it at the last possible moment.

Eh? I'm just saying, politicians tend to focus on right now and let tomorrow take care of itself. Especially the climate change denying variety.

Can anyone picture a scenario where, even though he won't get impeached, Trump decides NOT to run in 2020. I'm thinking these past two years have probably been the most stressful in his life, and what, really, is in it for him, from here on in? He was president, he achieved that goal. Why go though all this "persecution" for another four years?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I think he's having the time of his life.

I suspect he is enjoying it, but I can see such a scenario.  Lets say he is trailing in the polls in a big way.  Rather than go down in defeat he decides to resign so he remains undefeated.

Problem with that theory is the moment he resigns he loses his immunity from prosecution.  Maybe Pence pardons him (although the Nixon pardon didn't do Ford any favours), but there's still state prosecutions out there.

He was vain enough to run for President the first time, so he's vain enough to run again. But I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't. Hard to believe he's enjoying it.

The best way for Trump to avoid prosecution at any future point is to stay in office as long as possible.  He's not walking away without a handpicked successor in place.

He'll stay as long as possible in the White House. The Trump Train has to keep steaming ahead otherwise it explodes. It's like that Keanu Reeves movie.

But yes. Trump would have to die in office before he wouldn't run again.

You're thinking of the Turkish release.  In America it was called Speed.
