After today's GOP Obamacare circle jerk, I'm convinced that Pence is a bigger prick than Trump

Tone of voice, body language, repetition of the "Make America Great Again" meme...I dunno, folks. I fully realize what it's going to be like having Trump Presidentin', but Pence? It would be like Trump without the tweets and comedy relief. It would be a stone-cold, hard line conservative signing off on everything Ryan and McConnell put on his desk.

Just my two cents' worth.

who actually had a plan.

And not a very nice plan.

At any rate, before rushing to impeach Trump, try to control him, hard as that may be. Letting Pence in the White house is really our worst nightmare.

We've got two years to change Congress, then two years to undo the damage.

Republicans in general are loathsome people, but Donald Trump is on a different level of evil. His very existence is a world tragedy.

he actually believes his fascistic theocracy bullshit. As such, he is probably more dangerous than Trump.

Trump doesn't believe in anything except polishing the giant turd that he is. He'll love anybody who kisses his ass and hate anybody that doesn't. The worst thing he could do is start WWIII and end life as we know it.

OTOH, Pence and his buddies in Congress could do a lot to turn the country into the libertarian theocratic hell that gets all the Repubs drooling. It helps you understand why so many people preferred "civilization ending asteroid strike" to the candidates.

Your implication is very likely also true, but I categorically refuse to find out for sure.

I don't think Trump is going to let Pence be the real president for too long. It just doesn't seem like something he would do.

and gave/give him the "legitimacy" of Drumpf's election. Thank all the goddesses & gods that he doesn't have the power like Cheney.
