trump is getting exponentially worse daily and it's apparent that the repukes are unwilling to do anything about it. Even if they did, pres pence wouldnt get the job done.
So who do we install when we storm the gates?
That is going to be what it takes.

(865 posts)I'm still up for Hillary or Bernie either one. Ah, shucks. Let's have both. Then there's Kirsten Gillibrand. Umm, except for a nominee vote, and she's done so much else that's wonderful, Elizabeth Warren.
Just some thoughts ...

I'm sick and I'd love to be remembered in folk song as the guy who caught the first barrage, allowing others to save our country.

I expect Pence will pick someone he served with in congress.
Brother Buzz
(36,444 posts)Someone with many, many years of executive office experience. To wit: Governor Jerry Brown.
Hell, with the Trump storm passing, his work will be done in California, and he could comfortably turn over his smooth running machine to his competent Lt Governor at the drop of a hat.

Clinton, Kerry, Warrren? This talk is delusional!
First Speaker
(4,858 posts)...I think that our national situation is *so* fluid, that we're in such unknown waters, that it's hard to imagine what the end game will be. To take one example--the whole Russian business. If this is what it seems to be, it could take the whole GOP down with it. Or Trump might just become so despotic that there could be a sort of American version of 1688, with Dems and (some!) Repubs agreeing on some compromise candidate to fill the role until 2020--possibly as a desperate tactic to avoid civil war. I don't think these extreme scenarios are impossible. My God--look where we are *now*, after only a week. It would have seemed impossible two years ago.
