So is Pence picking out his VP as we speak?

Whoever it is would have to pass both houses to get approved, so it's moot (except after January, assuming we mean a running mate to be *elected* to the VP position rather than appointed)

You’re okay with a galvanized evangelical base showing up to elect Pence, who - even in this scenario- would still be eligible to run for two more terms? You’re ok with staring down the barrel of 12 years of Pence?

I'm ok with it because, as someone who grew up in that subculture, my read of the current political situation is they are wildly out of touch with the mainstream even of the other asshole conservatives they're allied with

Do write ins for the replacement and votes for the dead person both get counted in that scenario or is only one method ‘correct’? Or is it a crapshoot based on what random officials/judges feel like doing
-
If a candidate dies, becomes incapacitated or is otherwise officially no longer the nominee (like if they officially withdraw before the deadline, the way people were yelling at Aaron Coleman to) the party committee votes to select someone to replace them

What's the quandry exactly? Are they thinking that if he dies that Pence might not automatically replace him and whoever it is might be unacceptable to them?

The whole point about Trump is that he was Trump. How many people are going to even care about Pence? Generally, they wanted the loud family member who told racist jokes, not someone who wanted to usher in the Kingdom of God. If Trump's done, then why bother?

So, Pence should come out of this unscathed? I’m sorry, but unless Trump is holding an indictment over his head, which I doubt, he actively participated in everything without ever once saying a peep.
