    Trump just appointed Mike "Pray it Away" Pence to head up the Coronavirus response.

    Any chance he's setting Pence up to be the scapegoat so if things go badly he can ditch him the election and replace him?  If so, with who?  

    I'm saying right now that Ivanka's a dark horse to be Vice President this time next year.
    Nikki Haley.  this theory has been rampant on Twitter since he appointed Pence.

    That's definitely possible.  But I think the Trumps (and 40% of the population) want a Trump Dynasty.  I'd put the odds on Ivanka and Haley about even.  With Jr. a fairly distant third.

    wouldn't that violate nepotism laws?

    You forget that the currently elected president does not know or care about things like the Constitution or the rule of law.

    I don't forget that, i was just asking if it violated the law, not if he would (obviously) ignore it and (obviously) get away with it.

    sorry, that's what I meant. LOL I was just kind of running under the assumption that he's going to win again. This lot of dem candidates has me worried. 

    but anyway, wouldn't a father/daughter ticket be against the law? or no?

    The law from the late 60's (after Bobby Kennedy was AG) was about appointed cabinet officers, I believe.  The VP is an elected office, so it may be exempt from the law.

    I suppose so. It just seems kind of weird, though. If trump dies or is removed, his daughter succeeds him. that's fucking royalty. 

    anyone know the level of outrage when JFK appointed his brother as AG? I'd be curious if it was at the same level as ivanka being one of his advisers. 

    when you think about it, that appointment (Bobby) was pretty dubious.

    Bobby was definitely sketchy, but that's how the Kennedy's rolled, that's for sure.  At least he was a lawyer and had some experience serving as counsel, etc. I have no idea if there was outrage or not, although that was a different time and place where we didn't have 24 hours of cable news telling us how mad we should be.

    this is exactly it, and why I hate social media and the 24 hour news cycle. I honestly don't think we'd all be stressed out as we are about trump if not for that. news is there to be bought and sold. so upping the drama definitely increases sales. I'm not distrusting of MSM like trumpsters, but wading through the "does this level of outrage fit the event?" is getting exhausting.
