I really don’t understand the election being canceled batshittery. Nothing is going to fundamentally change Biden is the establishment candidate. He’s supported by every 3 letter agency and mega corporation and he’s up double digits in the polls. Nobody is canceling anything.

The real election was the primary and yes I suppose that got canceled but nobody cares.

If I were Trump I would seriously consider pulling a Nixon-Ford deal with Pence. Odds are Biden will let all of Trump's crime go unpunished for the sake of "unity" or whatever, but if I were Trump I'm not sure I'd want to take that chance.

I could see it happening post election. Trump could resign into the lame duck period and get pardoned

Trouble with that is there's nothing in it for Pence in that case, except I guess getting the title and the portrait. Maybe that's enough.

President title is a pretty sweet bonus.

Mother would certainly be pleased to be First Lady for any period of time.

After some reflection,

Pence definitely has a stack of stuff in the 'Things I would do if I was President' list that are in pursuit of his own agendas. Any amount of time as President furthers one or more of those goals.
