What is the best outcome here?

[Luka Boyd]

Lets stop and think about it, what is the best possible outcome to the eventual impeachment of Trump? Here are some possibilities, let me know what you think:
- Would it be better if he were removed from office and the eventual Democratic nominee runs against Pence?
- Trump gets impeached but is not convicted in the senate. Then the Dems run against a disgraced/impeached Trump and a Senate seen as corrupt for enabling him?
- Trump resigns, Pence selects Kevin McCarthy as vice president. Reps run on Pence/McCarthy ticket or Pence also gets removed and McCarthy is Rep candidate.
- Reps primary Trump and Pence.
- Trump and Pence get removed from office and reps run entirely new ticket?
- Trump gets tried in the senate, throws Pence under the bus, both are removed and Nancy Pelosi is president (Yes least chance of this) Does she run in 2020?

I actually think scenario 2 is the most likely and probably the best outcome for the Dems in the 2020 election. What are your thoughts?

1. Well #2 is what's going to happen...

..but if you mean best from a democratic perspective then I think Pence would be the weaker candidate even though Trump is batshit fucking crazy. Look at all the redneck nutcases at these rallies, how many of them would be inspired to stop polishing their gun long enough to turnout a vote for Mike whitebread Pence the most boring guy in the world?

2. trump not going anywhere and a vaiance on #2 is the only outcome

the least terrible option McConnel has, to hold NO trial.

That may be the very BEST outcome for the democrats enabling the greatest outpouring of democratic voters in history

3. I think I agree

As much gnashing of teeth I hear about Trump not being convicted in the senate its the best option as far as Dems taking the white house and the Senate.

4. Are those the only choices?

5. Not the only choices

Just what I came up with off the top of my head. What do you see happening?
