Pence. ..tRumps " backup plan"....

[FarPoint]

Pence will be pResident if tRump resigns... Pence can then pardon all of the Cult 45 Minions, including tRump..

So, now what?

[LakeVermilion]

1. He can't pardon these felons from state charges.

If Mueller is nothing else, he is thorough.

[FarPoint]

2. Correct...

I sure hope Mueller boxes in the State Charges too...This is such a long, painful burden for America.

[Raven123]

3. Worse.. he will become McConnell's water boy

[global1]

4. I Have To Think The Final Nail In Trump's Coffin Will Be When Mueller....

halls Pence into this investigation. Pence aided and abetted Trump & the Repugs and is as dirty as all of them.

That will be when Trump will realize his lifeboat has a big hole in it and his last hope to survive his mess is sunk.

9. Yes, when Pence gets called in, that whole cabal is fucked!

[FarPoint]

10. I agree...

Pence is deep into tRumps style of business...he chose POORLY.

[Clarity2]

5. I don't think

he would pardon them. Pence seems like the kind of guy who would turn on them on a dime. If he had to step up as president, I don't think he has the stomach to deal with the never ending attacks on him through the rest of his term that he pardoned a bunch of criminals.

I just hope we win midterms to keep him in check if he does become president.

8. Ford learned that lesson.

6. We continue to fight.

I don’t get the “now what” aspect.

[FarPoint]

11. I'm wanting to have insight into the next wave of obstruction...

Pence is not been discussed much and he is an Ace for tRump....

[NCTraveler]

12. What "next wave of obstruction"?

That might help me to get to the step you are looking to answer.

[IluvPitties]

7. Pence is evil, but he would restore a bit of normalcy in the WH.

I want the respect for our institutions to be restored. Pence would be more willing to do so than Trump.

13. the GOP house and senate reduces itself

If your scenario plays out as is, my guess is the GOP house and senate reduces itself to another post-Nixon style exile. What specifically happens to the current persona dramatris is almost moot in that regard.

However, I don't see Trump going anywhere... he'll stay put and continue hurting the GOP brand even worse than it would be if he left before 2020.

But, like all prophecies, ours are merely guesses. If you want actual insight, I'd suggest The Final Days by Bob Woodward, or The Last Crisis of Richard Nixon by Stanley Kutler

14. Thank you for the reading reference..

I do believe I will check them out at the library... Definitely need a diversion from the political insanity.
