1. Pence will handle the nitty gritty policy matters.

But Trump will at his own discretion decide whether or not to accept Pence's position and adopt it as his own or discard it as to whatever worldview Trump decides to take that particular day.

It will not be like Bush and Cheney. Bush was inherently lazy and stupid and he was I think glad to defer to whatever course Cheney took. But Bush was not the raging narcissistic egomaniac that Trump is.

Trump will demand full credit for everything, but he won't necessarily agree with what you do, while still demanding you yourself do it for his glory. He's going to be infuriating to work for in that respect.

At a certain point, Pence may grow to be an increasing threat to Trump and I think Trump may find ways to try to push him out.

2. This is no secret...

Kasich revealed this months ago before the election

A new report from the New York Times Magazine goes behind the scenes of the VP selection process and claims that Trump's first choice was his former rival, Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Perhaps more interestingly, the report sheds light on the unprecedented level of power Trump plans to delegate to his vice president if elected. According to the Times, Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., was responsible for vetting the potential candidates. Here's a scene from one conservation he had with a Kasich adviser.

Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

"Making America great again" was the casual reply.

8. I think it's more likely that there will be a shitload of morons, crazies, hacks, and scumbags

in Trump's administration, who will be working at cross purposes and fighting to the death over petty squabbles and personality conflicts, with Pence (as just one example) representing the Hardcore Fundie Christian bigots. It will be the ultimate in "too many cooks in the kitchen." Except this time, the oven is on fire, the soup has overflown, the ingredients have all spoiled, and the fruits and vegetables have all rotted.

As for Trump, he'll be doing the same things that he did during the campaign: holding rallies, calling into TV shows, and going on Twitter rants like the petulant, overindulged man-child that he is.

9. Carrier jobs in Indiana????

Who's your Governor? I read that there are more talks going on to keep another company from going overseas. Want to take a guess where this company too is located?

10. Trump may try this, but it won't work. That's not how power plays out in our government.

Things will keep on getting kicked over to Trump's desk. But April his highly tauted weekends in Manhattan will be a distant memory. Shit just doesn't quit landing on the boss's desk in that town. Anyone who dislikes Pence's calls will simply have to tweet out their displeasure and Trump---lacking the personal discipline to consistently say "No, this is Mike's job"---will be dragged into controversy after controversy.

11. That seems to be the failure mode.

Drumpf takes all the heat - he's the clown they put onstage to take the heat, meanwhile all the subhuman cockroaches man the cabinet, take hold of the real power, and proceed to assrape everyone.
