Again, not that I really *want* President Pence, but....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

...what is stopping Republicans in Congress from kicking Trump to the curb at this point?

I guarantee any agenda they have would be supported by Pence, so objectively and practically speaking why would they even bother with the dumpster fire that is Donald Trump right now?

Can someone explain that to me?

1. Pence is unpopular, too.

From what I can make out, Indiana has had to spend all their time undoing his bad work since he stopped being governor. He's basically just an accidental VP.

And, remember "Periods for Pence"?

2. I think there's more GOPers in congress than we think that would like that

But who will be the first to step up?

3. Shhh. GOPers are busy checking their poll numbers

They'll toss that orange shitgibbon in a heartbeat if he hurts their reelection chances

On the other hand, no way Mr. and Mother Pence can get elected again, so the GOPers are screwed either way

4. Micharl Moore on The last Word touched on it.

Trump is such a distraction for the Media and us we are not seeing how his cabinet and Republicans are destroying our country and Rules.

Think about what we know. EPA getting rid of anything talking about climate change. getting rid of scientist. Getting rid of civil rights division of the justice department. State department basically is Tillerson. They got rid of the career memory...the people who got things done.

5. The bar is so low that Sarah Palin seems like she has more on the ball

At best she's like the minimally-competent teenager you pay to babysit your toddler. Which is a giant mental leap over the toddler-in-chief.

Speaking just for myself, views do not represent the management

6. If they dump Trump and prop Pence, it is civil war in the GOP

And they know it. The only thing that saves their majority now is gerrymandering and the electoral college. Any split, even a small one causes them to implode.

They need the Democrats to oust Trump do they can harness the outrage and play the victim
