Keep going the way you are, Donald, because the end of the road is closer than you think.

Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary turned political pundit, shared on Facebook recently a conversation with a former Republican Congressman whom he declined to name for reasons which are obvious. The Unnamed Republican stated that the GOP is using Trump and has been using him and that Mike Pence is their golden boy:

According to Reich, he recently had breakfast with a Republican friend who claimed he held his fire over his misgivings about Trump during the election, saying, “You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.” “They’ll [the GOP will] play along for a while,” the unidentified friend said. “They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.” “Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind,” he explained. “So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will …” “They impeach him?” Reich asked. “You bet. They pull the trigger,” was the reply. The whole exchange is here.

Seriously, this is worth noting because the GOP was considering Pence as a presidential candidate and then decided that he didn't have enough clout to "be a contender." So Reince Priebus did the next best thing and convinced Trump to dump Chris Christie as the VP choice and take Mike Pence. Trump and Pence were not even acquainted at the time. The big money in the GOP, notably the Prince/DeVos families have been bankrolling and grooming Mike Pence for quite some time. Erik Prince's goal is to see Mike Pence in power so that Mike Pence can execute Erik Prince's dominionist agenda and make church and state one entity. Pence is the fair haired boy, literally, in line for the throne and it's just a question of time.
