No Wonder Christy Cried When He Didn’t Get Veep
Oh yeah, NOW they tell us.
It seems that when John Kasich was bowing out of the Republican coronation of Donald Trump. Don Jr asked to meet with Kasich’s top guy.
It went like this —
But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: 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.
Grab something to hearty to drink, my friend, when you realize that Mike Pence will be in charge of foreign and domestic policy.
Trump will be in charge of making the hate list?
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
no one in IN wants pence in charge of anything
1Trump will be in charge of increasing his “brand.” He is not interested in actually “governing.”
2As though any offer made by a Trump could be relied upon…
3Silly snacilbupeR and dumber son of Drumpf, that’s FOREIGN POLICY, not morons foreign to policy.
This I say, as I sit with an ice pack in my shorts. Had the procedure yesterday. Not so bad, really. Certainly didn’t rise to the occasion of what women endure through child birth or ‘routine’ risks of birth control. But, it does remind me of what a PITA Mike Pence would be as VP. Sorry Mike, but two was the number of children that Jane and I decided we could reasonably support with little frills like food, a home and an education. ZPG – is also what the planet can afford, too. It’s like this, Mike. Jane is not an incubator, I’m more than a paycheck, and until every child has a home your way is beyond selfish and destructive. We do plan to adopt and/or foster. But, we plan to do so in a responsible way. Key word – plan. Like in Planned Parenthood, accent on planned. We’d like to be free to act responsibly and free of your totalitarian ‘plans’ for the planet. TYVM
Donnie Drumpf, 3 wives and 5 kids or Mike Pence, 1 wife, 3 kids. And, two very good reasons to give the snacilbupeR the boot in 2016.
4And keeping you women in your place. God knows that’s a full time job.
5it seems that no one really wants the job of “making america great again”
6Congratulations, PKM and Mrs. PKM for making a sensible and agreed upon decision!! To know what you can reasonably do and plan to do well!! Your children will certainly appreciate what you have done!!
7I can say with complete surety from personal experience: Shooting blanks can be a lot more fun for both of you! 🙂
Doesn’t this whole story have a touch mafiosa about it? Is this the “art” of the deal? DO NOT buy a car or home from this man. Or his off-spring.
8Not talking about you, PKM. 🙂
9o dear god! Decades ago one of my poll sci profs proferred such an argument. The office of President was way to complex for just one person, hence, the President would do all the ceremonial stuff and the VEEP all the heavy lifting. Hell. Why not go all the way back to Roman history with Consul and Pro Consul, often not functioning simultaneously. Oh, wait! The Roman Empire doesn’t exist anymore. There was murder and mayhem at the very top between the consuls, the Senate and whoever else wanted in on all the fun!
10JAKvirginia, didn’t think for a minute that you were, until you said you weren’t. 😀
Hoo boy! I need to keep the tee vee machine in the OFF position, until the snacilbupeR depart Cleveland. That paranoia is catching. 😉
11Murder and mayhem sounds about right. Drumpf wants all the glory, but none of the work, the Chief Executive Officer not the Chief Operations Officer. Donnie gets to say yes/ no, but the underling has to bow and scrape, although he can’t be fired.
12We can’t let this bunch of drooling dullards near the White House, and the mob at the convention screaming for Hillary’s death is absolutely frightening. God help us all.
Scrumpy JR can always claim he plagiarized Michele O’s work.
13Been there and done that, PKM. That “stuff” women claim to go through during child birth is all in their heads. JUST KIDDING LADIES! 🙂
14So Trump wants to be no more than a figurehead in his own administration? Well, I guess it’s a step up from being a bobble-head. At least he recognizes his limitations.
15epo … you had better be “just kidding” … LOL Of course, the male docs say: You won’t remember the pain!
16I say: Bull… well, you know the rest!!
That would no doubt work until Drumpf didn’t like something Pence decided, and then all bets are off until Donnie gets his way.
17But of course. The King decrees; his minions and henchmen implement.
Donnie was born into the wrong century and the wrong governmental structure.
18epo: It’s ALL in their heads? Boy, I’ve got to go brush up on anatomy. So, does the baby come out of their mouth? I am so confused!!
(Just kidding, epo.)
19That’s reminiscent of the episode of Southpark where the kids became talent agents. They told one of their clients “you do all the work and leave the rest to us.” Of course the trouble is that we aren’t voting for Pence directly.
20PKM, when I had mine snipped all these many years ago, I found that the brown liquid medicine from Kentucky was preferable to pain pills.
21Christy cried rhymes with crispy fried. PKM, my snip was a Valentine’s Day gift for the little woman who was so enamored that within a year she had packed up the boys and left.
22I wish I could say something to lighten the atmosphere this week but I can’t do it. I was beyond ashamed at the fat pig in charge of my state of New Jersey chanting with the crowd like some kind of creepy evangelist. As if that was not the worst the horrible delegate from New Hampshire called for a firing squad for a presidential candidate. I have never in my life seen anything to equal this horror show. My father was a decorated veteran of WW11 and I am sure he is rolling over in his grave at the sight of the Nazi salute and the disgusting photos of our flag desecrated by an iron cross. I guess I should remember his words when I was a kid in school weeping over the assassination of JFK and he said “No matter what happens this country will go on and recover.” I wonder what he would say today.
23Trump wants to be a Constitutional Monarch. He gets to wear the crown and trumperies while the VP does the work.
24epo: I have a suggestion:
Swallow a cantaloupe whole. Wait a day — maybe two under the circumstances. Pass it. The pain is all in your head.
No, it’s not.
And to Marcia in CO:
Not having had kids, idk whether you remember the pain or not [I’m guessing yes – but idk from personal experience.] Still, it’s my theory that mothers don’t remember. Or why are we not all only children?
Sorry JJ. I know this is off topic — but writing about the aftereffects of swallowing a whole cantaloupe is preferable to writing about Chris Christie or Trump’s VP pick.
25Jean Kuhn- here is a little something that might make you smile or laugh at Guv Fat and Furious. his face sezs it all.

26You used will when you meant would. Drumpf will never be elected, as long as we GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!
27Scumpf said his wives (nannies) took care of raising the children while he wrote the checks. What a daddy. But now that he can exploit those children to serve his own purposes, Scumpf is papa of the Year!
