I'm very conflicted about Trump

[Sgent]

on the one hand, he's the worst president of my lifetime and that includes Nixon. He should be thrown out on his ass using the 25th amendment.

On the other hand, Pence might actually prove competent.

1. Pence just oozes 'hidden scandal' to me

I say bring him on!

[Renew Deal]

2. Pence thinks Trump is qualified to be president

That tells you everything you need to know about Pence.

3. The "but we'll get Pence" thing is almost a cliche at this point.

4. There is no chance that Pence will prove "competent"

if you define that as achieving goals that are good for the American people and the world.

9. Also Pence was not competent in running Indiana

He's probably more competent than Trump, but that bar is just an inch off the floor.

5. Pence will forever be tainted by his association with Trump. All Republicans will be.

And we'll play up that fact in 2018 and 2020.

6. Pence will not have the solid 30% base of Trump.

They will be angry if Trump gets kicked out and much less support, I feel. I feel it would end up making Republicans weaker with their base.

Also, it would tie agendas up getting him out of office. Takes time. That might be to our favor making it harder for them to get things thru.

7. In your lifetime?

Try EVER

8. Pence is a RWNJ but he is not mentally unstable

So I don't find him so scary, even if I think many of his policies would be damaging, especially where it concerns women's and LGBTQ rights.
