Mike Pence Preparing 2020 Election Run Against 'Weak' Trump?

Mike Pence Preparing 2020 Election Run Against ‘Weak’ Trump? Vice-President's Team Denies Explosive Claim
BY JASON LE MIERE ON 8/5/17 AT 3:22 PM

Mike Pence’s press secretary has denied an explosive report from The New York Times Saturday that the vice-president is among a group of Republicans already preparing a “shadow campaign” for president in 2020. President Donald Trump is just over six months into his first term and has never suggested that he would not seek re-election for a second term.

Yet, according to the report, Pence’s recent activity is more in keeping with a vice-president in the dwindling days of a president’s second term who is preparing for a run at the top job. In May, Pence took the step of launching his own political action committee— the “Great America Committee”—the first time a sitting vice-president has set up his own political arm.

The idiots just keep repeating history, after cheating their way into the WH. Cheating includes, first SCOTUS, now Russia!

Doesn't matter. The rumors will have Trump looking over his shoulder, fueling his paranoia.

Ryan and McTurtle, and all the comrades in line to the WH. Actually I want it proven that in fact the elections across board was rigged in 2016 and in previous years (state, conggresscritters re: GOPs)

If he sits tight, he'll get the job for the remaining 3 1/2 years.

He would be running against his own record, wouldn't he? What a fucking idiot.
He is tied to Trumpy and admin policies forever.

Hoosiers will never forget. If he runs, he will not carry Indiana.

Holcomb has shrewdly forgotten some of Pence's policies.
