As soon as they start to ignore the courts, the shit will really start hitting the fan.

The Republican Party will have to face impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment soon, much sooner than they ever imagined.

Their meltdown over ObamaCare replacement is nothing compared to the mess they will soon face.

Progressives, liberals, Democrats, democrats and anti-fascists will stand strong and united, since we have the most to lose. The rich will get richer either way.

They fear Trump and know that if they move to impeach - that he will take them down with him. He knows where the skeletons are buried in the Repug Party and he will talk. And what if he doesn't know where the skeletons are buried? Well he'll make some up and implicate them with his lies.

If they have to turn on (say) Ryan or McConnell, they will do so if they think the alternative is to lose the 2018 midterms and power.

With Pence in place, their christo-dominionist tendencies will be elated and it is what a lot of them have been secretly hoping for. They thought they could make a bargain with the devil and control tRump, just like Germans thought Hitler's advisers would rein him in after the 1933 election. It's not turning out to be neat and clean and simple for them.

the GOP, who has the power otherwise, doing nothing to stop this madness? This is getting very tiresome already.

We as a nation will bounce back. But then we'll get stuck with Pence which will be another real challenge as he is a sneaky SOB.

I think that's been the repukes plan all along...get what they want from Trump and the dump him for Pence.

But I don't think they anticipated the huge backlash that has been unleashed. So many people didn't vote and they assumed nobody really cared. I think they are afraid if they try to put Pence in now it will not placate the masses. We've been complacent for a long time. People have lacked a sense of purpose and resisting Twitler has given them a purpose and something to feel good about. It has created a sense of community that is based on being a part of something that is bigger than oneself. The ball is rolling and I don't think they have a clue how to stop it.
