Which way to turn? Which way is best? What to do, what to do . . . .

Just musing . . . .

The current line of succession to the Presidency is frightening.

1 Vice President Mike Pence (R)
2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan (R)
3 President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch (R)
4 Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (R)
5 Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin (R)
6 Secretary of Defense James Mattis (I)
7 Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R)
8 Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke (R)
9 Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue (R)
10 Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (R)
11 Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta (R)
12 Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price (R)
13 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson (R)
– Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (R) [not natural born citizen-therefor ineligible]
14 Secretary of Energy Rick Perry (R)
15 Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos (R)
16 Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin (I)
17 Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly (I)



Gotta tell ya, at least with 45/140 we have people distancing themselves from him, fearing electoral blowback. The result is gridlock. With the foregoing list of brigands and scoundrels, the electoral blowback becomes nearly non existent.

Trump?
The List?

Very depressing to see that list spelled out, but we need the reality check to understand how crucial the 2018 and 2020 elections will be and that no matter what happens, we are stuck with either Trump or another horrible Repub for years.
