He looks the part of an SS officer in Nazi Germany.
He would fit right in with the rest of them.

NOT an improvement. Dems will have to be every bit as stalwart in opposing his policies as they have so far been with Trump.

But at least it would remove the family of grifters who are costing us ALL much more than they should

2Pence will have no mandate. His constituency is the ultra rw evangelicals. It's no surprise that his hand-picked successor as Governor of Indiana overturned most of his controversial policies within 60 days of taking office. We'd probably have a lot of fun with 2Pence.

-basically a coverup. We would get a smoother liar who will be just as damaging to the country.

Republicans want to keep information from public on the amount of criminality.

I could see it only if Republicans give Democrats the right to name next Supreme Court Justice and some additional legislative victories.

If alll the information goes public I think the damage to the Republican Party will and should be severe.

Let's not make the same mistake we made with W. Every other day there as another post about something that was about to break that would end his presidency. None of it ever actually happened. I remain skeptical. "Fool me once, shame on you. For me twice, uh, you won't get fooled again. Or something like that."

If he's indeed implicated in the Russian dealings, it will leave a residual urine-smelling stink that will be impossible for Mike Pence to get off, and it will pay dividends for us in 2018 and 2020.

Know your history. Nixon-Agnew --> Nixon-Ford --> Ford-Rockefeller. Neither Ford nor Rockefeller held any positions held by the people in your list.

Ryan is only forced in if both tRump and Pence perish in the same instant or are convicted in the same instant. If one or the other is in office for even a minute longer than the other, then they appoint a VP.

Ryan will NOT accept appointment because he does not want to be Pres. Ford. He would rather try to be Reagan in 2024.

Interesting that these removal discussions are taking place and DT is giving increasingly incoherent interviews just before Comey and Sally Yates testify.

The GOP must not be rewarded by being allowed to appoint Republicons ad infinitum until they slot one in that doesn't get indicted / impeached / convicted / resign.

Constitutional scholars must find a way to make the democratically elected Clinton, by a plurality of votes, get the office, or to hold new Presidential elections in 2018, resetting the four year cycle.

Wishful thinking is so funny, and I see it here all the time.

I'm a fan of Joy, but no.
