I remember a line from the old TV series “Simon & Simon,” where the P.I. brothers’ cop friend Downtown Brown set them up for some kind of trap in order to break a case. One of the brothers shouted at him, “You betrayed us!” And Brown answered, “If you can’t betray your friends, who can you betray?”

If I were Mike Pence, I would not have said a thing to him. I would know he never listened. And I would not have wanted to hear his lying voice ever again. But I would no longer be owned by him, in any way, not ever, no matter what.

I would never be Pence, because he sold his soul. I’d say nothing to Trump. I’d write a book and hope to make a million and hope God would forgive me for going along with Trump and going along with people who use Christianity as a tool and a weapon.

Pence can’t have been surprised. He had to have known all along that Trump is a man without scruples. A man who demands unquestioning loyalty, but offers absolutely none in return. He would shove his own children in front of a train if he thought that he might somehow benefit by doing so.

What makes me wonder now is if Pence got seriously hurt would he then condemn Trump?

Don’t get your disgusting self anywhere near me again or I’ll be forced to defend myself and you won’t like it one bit. Everyone knows what a coward you really are. But what Pence might say is “I stood behind you for four years looking at you with loving eyes, and this is how you repay me?”.

Well if I were Mike Pence I would do what Mike Pence did. Take it in the rear, probably because Trump had equally damaging dirt on him.
Now myself, I wouldn’t have any dirt for them to reveal but I guess as a politician I would probably have dirt on me but it would have to be a dumb mistake I made not knowing it’s illegal. And if someone were to find out, and tried to blackmail me, I would’ve gone to the authorities to investigate. It may ding my career but with good PR it can be shown that I was unaware and someone aware tried to use it to corrupt me.
So if I were to get to VP I would’ve collected a lot of dirt on him working undercover and been the person giving facts on Trumps corruption since the beginning.
And a day after the attack, I would’ve laid it all bare. Every lie, everything he did and said and what he actually thought of his voters. I would’ve had recording too. So it may never have gotten that far for Trump.
Even if I burn, I would’ve taken him with me.
