Would Pence be any less "evil"?

[Paula Sims]

I was just thinking - if Trump gets impeached or resigns, so what? Pence and Bannon are the real brains and power behind all of this. Will it make any difference?

I just think Pence will be craftier, quieter about it - like Cheney.

Thoughts?

1. I don't think Bannon would be allowed to stay.

[Ilsa]

4. Bannon has to go, too.

I don't care how at this point, but linking him to Dugin and Putin might be enough for some in Congress.

[liberal N proud]

2. I suspect that pence has at least read the Constitution

Past that, his evil as well

[Horse with no Name]

3. Not only that...the people seem to be woke

Repigs are cowards.
That's why they are letting trump do their dirty work.

5. Pence is extremist RW, but at least he seems predictable

[Sneederbunk]

6. At least he would not be as crazy

[rurallib]

12. Maybe a better word would be not as unpredictable

MY SIL is from Indiana and half the state think he is crazy. But he is predictably extreme right wing.

Welcome to DU - hope I wasn't too tough on you.

16. I believe so too

he is crazily anti-LGBT and that scares the hell out of me. It scares me that he will definitely go along to get along with the republicans, unlike Trump, so he will attract far less media attention. I honestly think he would be far more preferable for the republicans to work with but I don't know how they will dump Trump, if their egos can take an impeachment on their side. Of course if he keeps pissing off the CIA they may not have to worry about it.

7. Bannon needs removed.

[rzemanfl]

8. No. Next question. n/t

[madaboutharry]

9. Pence is a sanctimonious hypocrite.

He is a theocrat. He believes that American law should be based on the Christian Bible, on the way he interprets the Christian Bible.

He would bring his own kind of hurt and chaos.

[gratuitous]

10. I'm willing to remove them one at a time

As soon as they commit some of those high crimes and misdemeanors, I support removing them. There's enough evidence against Trump already for articles of impeachment. If Pence succeeds to the presidency, I'm perfectly willing to remove him when he commits his special crimes.

11. No, but.....

our long game needs to be splitting off the Tea-Baggers/Alt-Right from the Traditional Republicans.

I don't think the TB/AR will fall in line with Pence the way they did with Trump.

[Bettie]

13. More evil, less crazy

his evil though, will be more subtle, because it doesn't have the crazy with it.

[Calculating]

18. Yep

Pence is a Christian true believer. He'd be less crazy, but he'd still try to turn America into a Christian theocracy.

[-Steph-]

14. Similarly evil, but more low-key about it.

[Girard442]

15. Pence would be less likely to throw a tantrum and kill us all.

Otherwise, things would be equally FUBAR.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. He would be a different sort of evil - but possibly a more manageable one.

I don't think he's very bright, but he has always focused on social issues - particularly the oppression of gay people and women. He might be slightly less dangerous in international matters.

[marylandblue]

20. A lot less dangerous on international matters nt

[marylandblue]

19. Pence is not evil

He's just really, really conservative. There is a big difference. His ideas may be harmful, but unlike guys like Bannon, he doesn't WANT to hurt anyone.

[Takket]

21. you cross that bridge when you come to it

we already know Trump is the worst president in history and must be removed.
