68. Yes I saw Rachel too

She's kicking butt, especially this week.

If the Dems can keep up impeachment pressures on both Trump and Pence, then maybe he will resign.
But I don't believe they'll resign together, and Trump is definitely the bigger target.

After Trump is out I believe people will let up on the other guys, it's possible that Pence will get a pass.
I hope I'm wrong.

Even if Pence manages to hang on, there's no way he'd get re-elected for another 4 years.
He'd be a lame duck so the Dems have to really focus on winning Congress back.

Hey Duppers, your point about Pence is that he's been in on it since Day One.
I totally agree and I've been saying it ever since Flynn was fired.
It was all such BS like everything else that comes out of Cheeto's mouth.
