President Trump on Monday said he hoped Vice President Mike Pence "comes through for us" as he discussed efforts to overturn the presidential election results, hinting at Pence's role overseeing the certification of the Electoral College vote count on Wednesday.

"I hope that Mike Pence comes through for us, I have to tell you. I hope that our great vice president, our great vice president comes through for us. He's a great guy," Trump told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Dalton, Ga.

"Of course, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him quite as much," Trump continued. "Nah, Mike is a great guy. He's a wonderful man and a smart man and a man that I like a lot."

Trump did not articulate what he wants Pence to do. The president's remarks came during a prolonged commentary on the election, which he insisted that he won "in a landslide" and claimed the election was "rigged" against him.

All these years of holding elections in the United States throughout history when all you needed to do was have the VP declare the winner? Who knew!

1. Eventually Trump has to punch down

Anyone who deals with him will at some point be discarded to show that he’s the killer and they are inferior.

[Blue Owl]

2. Hey Donald, you're an asshole

[oasis]

3. Pence can gift Trump with a pardon, or not. Trump had better cool it.

[LisaL]

4. Being a VP, Pence doesn't have pardon powers.

And Trump is not stepping down so Pence can become president for a couple of weeks.

[oasis]

7. Trump's not ruling out a Pence pardon. He can play that card

any time before the 20th, but he must be careful not to publicly humiliate Pence.

[Zorro]

5. And I fear Pence will come through for Trump

I don't trust that MF'er.

6. Trump Is Doing To Pence What He Did to GA SOS

And it is tough to see Pence have any type of backbone. Perhaps Trump will have Pence stage a walkout again:

8. And he's gotten cartoonishly more evil and corrupt.

Who would have guessed..

9. Not gonna happen. pence's rolw is purely procedural

He cannot change the electoral votes

[BadgerKid]

10. He could refuse to participate?

[onetexan]

11. Who cares? Screw him! Somebody else will do it.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. And then the wrath would fall on ASSley, who as President Pro tempore of the Senate

would be next in line to do the honor!

[milestogo]

13. He's going to wear a bumblebee in his hair, which will cause extreme chaos.

14. "Of course, if he DOESN'T come through, I won't like him quite as much..."

Typical Trump - praise while useful, then dump 'em, or sue 'em.
