    I agree with Guy here. Pence would be a President for people like me to oppose conventionally, not someone I'd worry about blowing up the world because he saw something on Fox at 4 a.m.

    Pence would be an ultra-conservative theocrat and willing accomplice of Paul Ryan, but he isn't fucking nuts.

    A few more: Who are the 24 Republicans who will put country before party and vote for the articles of impeachment? Who are the 18 to 20 Senators who will do the right thing and vote for conviction?
    Won't happen. I have wondered what exactly Trump would have to do in order to get tossed. Get caught on tape ordering a hit on Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Or would that even be sufficient? He'd weasel his way out by saying he wasn't serious.
    What would be enough to get the votes to flip?

    Nope, it'd be if his polling approval number was at 25 percent or so. These guys care about their own jobs and their own power. If Trump was perceived as a threat to either, they'd dump him in a heartbeat. All this chaos is going on with an economy running reasonably smoothly and no foreign crises for Trump to fuck up. Odds are (not for sure) that happy situation won't last four years.

    To bring back that old fave from Watergate: Smoking gun.

    They all think they're bulletproof. They think Trump showed them the secret. Just let white people know they come first, and you can do anything and you'll never lose an election. I don't think they're right, but that's the mindset here.
