(68,586 posts)I wonder if Pence is compromise. If so, it will be Ryan ...God help us. I am sure whoever is president will pardon all the guilty...including Trump and Pence if Pence was in on it.

(49,007 posts)The only way Ryan gets forced in is if both tRump and Pence resign simultaneously or are incapacitated simultaneously or some combination of the two.
If tRump resigns first, Pence accedes and appoints a new VP.
If Pence resigns first, tRump appoints a new VP.
In 1973, Spiro Agnew resigned as part of a plea deal to extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy. Nixon appointed Ford as VP.
In 1974 Nixon resigned and Ford became President and he appointed Nelson Rockefeller as VP.
I doubt very much Ryan wants to be Gerald Ford, who served only 2 years and lost to Carter in 1976 (analogy is 2020). He'd rather be a Reagan defeating a Carter in 2024.
It might be good to arrange both tRump and Pence being impeached and convicted on the same day, but the chances of that are basically zero.

Now you say you know that is false even if Pence is compromised and resigns because you agree with the analysis in my post.
It will not be Ryan.

(68,586 posts)your posts from another site by the way. I said if both Trump and Pence are compromised...and resign around the same time...then Ryan will be next in line...and that is not false...in any way. It is completely true.

(49,007 posts)DU is the only political site I post on. You have confused me with someone else.

You can take this to DU mail if you like, but you are completely wrong about me. I'm not demanding an apology, but one would be appreciated.
1) I'm not harassing you.
2) This is the only political site I post on. This is the only site I post on with this name. What other site? Name it and name the screen name. I have no idea what other sites you post on.
3) I couldn't remember responding to Demsrule86 other than this thread. But by checking my posts one by one (time consuming) all the way back five days ago (I stop looking when I got into Sunday) I found one out of 170 posts. [font size = "+1"]The last thread I responded to you I agreed with you[/font] and you replied agreeing with me. I wrote:

A month ago, tourism bookings or searches (sorry, not sure which) were down over 6% already.
Tour operators won't need as many vehicles and can't afford to buy as many family cars.
So it goes.
which I wrote agreeing with your Original Post:
Hubs is an engineer. He retired early and now has a job that makes parts for autos but other things as well...My son went into the autos on the line ...never really liked school. He is very smart though. He was laid off in Ohio in February...car not selling. He got a different job still in Ohio about an hour away, he got laid off before his start day. I have seen this before. Autos always signal the beginning of recession...and they are the first to signal when it is over...batton down the hatches and get ready we are headed for recession with the GOP in charge God help us. Good luck.
You agreed with my reply by posting:
and rental agents buy cars...the fleet sales have dried up.
How is mutual agreement harassment?
4) As to this thread, your post was not clear and was very terse. So I clarified it with neutral language, not making any assertions about you, not even referring to you. Then you claimed you knew how it worked and restated the predicate from your unclear post which was an ineffective way to clarify it. So I pointed that out and now you are here claiming you said "and resign around the same time" which you did not say. If you don't want to have posters provide information and background to help clarify posts, then please write more clearly even if it means writing more words.

(49,007 posts)Or, timing again, Pence resigns first and tRump's pick is not yet approved by time tRump resigns.
