Pence, Ryan, Hatch, Tillerson?

So what would happen after impeachment? Is there anyone in the line of succession who isn't a nightmare? I admit I'm not up on Hatch's competencies or connections to Trump. Tillerson must at least be smart, right?

While at Exxon. The job he has now is way above his pay grade, he's generally ignorant about the world - and would be a fucking disaster.

My only hope is that the Admin put (I don't know who requested it but it's 'odd' to me) Jon Huntsman back as the Ambassador to China.

We'll be 'okay' if he is VP.

Hatch seems to be running again. If he loses, who would take his place in the succession?

To imagine a scenario in which someone ends up in that role and picks Hillary Clinton as adviser. Grasping at hope.

We may end up doing something obscure and unique (no idea what). This won't be like Watergate, and we won't find a decent, bipartisan like Gerald Ford. They no longer exist.
