Republicans must HATE Mike Pence. I mean actually hate his guts.

[TeamPooka]

Otherwise he's be their answer to all this.

Vote out Trump, who causes them nothing but problems each and every day, he lost them 41 seats in the House in 2018, and in comes Pence to nominate all their bad judges and sign their bad bills, just like trump does.

They must hate Mike Pence more than they do what Trump does to them every day.
I guess they're sadists.
They love the pain.

It's their choice.

1. I don't think it's that they hate Pence

They love Trump more

(I threw up in my mouth a little, typing that)

2. With every passing day,

nature is helping our Cause. They are not making many Old Religious White Folks like they use to.

3. have you seen the kids at Liberty University?

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Yes,well aware of those losers.

Interesting Study topic is it not. Report out this morning about how we as Americans are now four years behind China in Artificial Intelligence(AI) and how we lost that lead do to our present Administration and the lack of fixing our Educational System from bottom to top.

10. There will always be people on the other side

Even one party states aren't really one party states. It's one party with everyone else being repressed.

So while yes old age will take our opponents, it will also be taking us at the same rate.

And nature being nature, people are being born everyday to replace both.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Trends in aging are for

our Senior and pre Senior Population to be more Liberal and Carring and less Religious and bigoted . As to birth rate,well,even the state of Utah is having their issues with much lower birth rates putting mega pressure on their One and Only Cult to worry about financial support a couple decades down the road.

4. that's the thing that makes me think it's kompromat

If they framed all of this differently, and as a united front, they could present Trump as a traitor. Replace him with Pence, who isn't an unexploded bomb likely to go off in a million different ways any minute. Their lives would settle down and they could wallow in their power unbothered by worries about what fresh hell the president will plunge the country into next. (They want power, they don't necessarily want the world to burn. Everybody in the GOP wanted aid to Ukraine, nobody except Rand Paul wanted us to pull out of Syria. I don't think they actually enjoy watching our reputation go down the toilet.)

But no. They stick to Trump like shit on a shoe. It must be kompromat or, at the very least, cold hard cash.

6. plus you gotta dump Trump and taint his kids too if you want to be a GOP POTUS not

named Trump in the future.
That's why Cruz, Rubio, Rand Paul and the other ambitious ones should be dumping Trump, otherwise Don Jr and Ivanka (and maybe even Eric and Jared) have a clear path to own the GOP nomination for the next two decades.

5. No, they just fear the MAGAts

[LonePirate]

7. Their voters love 45 and only 45. Their voters probably couldn't name or identify Pence.

Their voters sit home by the millions without 45 on the ticket, especially if he is removed by a Republican Senate. In fact, 60 Dem Senate seats could be in play if 45 is removed by the Senate. Of course, that is the one and only reason they will not remove him.

9. I don't think it's Pence. I think it's Putin. He has dirt on every one of those scumbags.

And he's jerking their chains every day of this trial.

[TeamPooka]

12. all it takes is a hooker, hotel room, and hidden camera.

[Scotch-Irish]

13. And I think THAT is part of it. It's also the pimps that sell children to these

scumbags, make sure the children are "protected" by being in a certain room. That room just happens to be the russians' ticket to paradise for the GOP blackmail scheme.

[budkin]

15. No, it's that they can't afford to lose Trump's base since it's all they have

Once Trump is gone, the GOP goes with it.

[Mike 03]

16. But Pence would be so easy to beat in November.

Maybe they are considering that option as far riskier than sticking with the Con.

Pence doesn't have anything close to the Leader-Follower relationship with voters Trump has. Pence's hardcore base is mostly the far, far Christian right.

[TeamPooka]

18. Revenge would be their motivator. Pence could pick Don' Jr as his running mate

17. K&R for the post and the discussion.
