but I couldn't tell how it would come about. Still can't tell but I expect a very wild ride over the next few months.

go down, they'll encourage Trump to launch the missiles and destroy the world in a crazed M.A.D. frenzy.

It's do the right thing, even if it means having our first female President, or have a Russian mob enforcer be the last thing they ever see.

I know which one they would pick.

They both wouldn’t resign simultaneously so my guess is pence would take the fall first and then trump would replace his VP and the senate would confirm. If Trump were to later resign his VP pick would become Pres. Other way around and Pence picks his VP who gets confirmed and again becomes President after his resignation. If the senate wouldn’t confirm 1 of them would hold on.

That's how Ford got to be Nixon's VP to replace Agnew.
