(14,568 posts)POS has spent the last 3 years staring the doering Lee at the lunatic in public, backing his everyplay. Who did he send over there to get punked last week in Turkey, yeah Pence willingly.
I don't get the suggestion that he should take over is thrown out unchallenged, if his boss has done things worthy of impeachment and he's done a long 100%.
The only thing he hasn't done is all the bombastic and ridiculous public statements and tweets. That's it. So basically these people are saying what's going on is perfectly fine as long as you do the buttoned-up conservative facade.

And would be best scenario for all...including GOP if they hope to survive

The Republicans need to get on board to convict and remove Trump in the Senate. That I can see maybe possibly happening. IT'll never happen if it means removing Pence. (Unless another republican is situated to be named VP in his stead.)

(13,498 posts)that they are anything other than totally and completely self-serving. If it benefits them, they'll cut trump. (But not at the expense of losing the entire executive office/Pence.) Otherwise, we're stuck with the status quo.

(10,227 posts)She's one of the most vocal Never Trumpers on MSNBC, frequently criticizing Trump and those who support him. But once Trump is gone, all these Never Trumpers will revert back to form and support Republicans like Pence.

(13,776 posts)Saying President Pence is just equivalent to saying Trump is toast.

(23,559 posts)to be vp and that a hole will become president. he will be just as dangerous as pence. But, not involved in the impeachment crap. Just my theory. repubs would not allow Pelosi to be President.

you guys need to wake up, fast.
Dorian Gray
(13,498 posts)It's fantasy to believe that they will allow Pelosi to become president. And while that is my dream scenario, I don't believe she believes it will ever happen.

Tommy_Carcetti
(43,190 posts)If people have this fantasy of a joint Trump-Pence impeachment that ends up with a President Pelosi, snap out of it now.
The GOP Senate wont just hand over the White House like that.
Focus all our priorities on impeachment on Trump, and then we can attack a weak, lame-duck and compromised Pence for 2020.

Even assuming that truly ample and damning evidence of Pence vice presidential corruption comes to light, Team Donald might not get enough time to throw Father to the wolves before Donnie flips out or flatlines, so Pence might be President for a time.
That is not to say that Father will be President on January 22nd, 2021.
