Trump Sets Mike Pence Up as Fall Guy by Falsely Saying VP Has Power to Unilaterally Reverse Election

Well it might look like there is not going to be last gasp Presidential switch if Trump agitates Pence this much.

Oh my gosh you guys! Why are you accusing Trump of telling a falsehood by deliberately misinterpreting the words "The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors" of Trump's very own tweets just to make him look bad?! WHY DO YOU LIBS HATE HIM SO MUCH?!!!

How exactly is it a misinterpretation to affirm the Vice president, in fact, has no such power?

DOH!

Pence is facing a conundrum. I believe his decision will be grounded upon which action best positions himself for a shot at the Oval Office. He has been focused on that for years. He left Congress to run for Governor of Indiana to acquire the stature of administrative experience he thought necessary for the Oval Office. The whole time he was Governor of Indiana it was obvious that his sights were set on the Presidency.
,
Then it was Trump, and he was offered the VP position which put him in the perfect position to be the next GOP candidate after President Trump. But it started to go haywire with Trump's eccentricities, potentially leaving Pence tainted for the future by voters disgust with President Trump.

If Pence helps Trump have another 4 years, more stink is likely to stick to Pence, leaving him in a worse spot to run for the oval office in 2024. If he doesn't help Trump stage this coup, his own shot at the White House may be improved in 2024.

Either way, he is blemished even more than he was after his term as Indiana's governor. His question now is what is the least damaging stain if he is to get his chance in the big chair?

Well if Trump doesn't stay in power, it can't be his fault, it MUST be someone elses fault.

Mike Pence had the authority to send the electoral votes back to
the states for an emergency audit. Trump wanted the evidence to
be examined by Congress, and then sent back to the contested
states for further review. Six states where to be contested
and or decertified. See Electoral Count Act

Thats all that Trump was asking for. The biggest lie they are
still trying to cover-up for, that the last election was perfect.
If he had no power about this, funny why they are now trying
to do away with or alter the Electoral act of 1887.

Pence really had no such authority. Every state in our union had certified their tally. Why bear false witness to yourself? Why?
