Did Pence end any shot of re-election if Trump is impeached by backing Trump on Charlottesville?

What on earth was he thinking? What a gift to Democrats. I can just see the commercials now showing scenes of the holocaust, Nazi's putting Jews into ovens and gas chambers and then cutting to Nazi's in Charlottesville and then talking about Pence backing Trump saying some of them being "good people". This came after he doubled down.

1. Milquetoast: Pence could never win a presidential at the top of a ticket, no matter what.

When he becomes POTUS after resignation and/or impeachment he will similarly have zero political capital and no way to fuck up the country as he would genuinely prefer.

2. Nope. Pence will become President rather soon and every nightmare you had will come true and GOP

legislation will sail through the House and Senate just to demonstrate "party unity".

Said awhile back, be careful what you wish for.

Trump is a clusterfuck that can't get a damned thing done. Pence can and will.

Just saying on my last few keystrokes on this forum.

3. That is the true nightmare. A Pence pResidency.

This country will be truly fucked if he becomes pResident. Everything Ryan and Mcconnell want passed for the Koch brothers will get passed.

5. He will and probably not too far in the future.

I seriously doubt he will be caught up in Trump's criminal syndicate so he will become president.

4. He would need the base to win and Trump is God almighty to them.

His only chance of winning is to keep sucking on that golden behind.

If Trump quits or is impeached Pence will have to pardon him for all crimes also.
That Republican base will require it
Trump will never go to prison.

6. Pence will be, at best, as ineffective as Pres. Ford.

I think Pence will be, at best, as ineffective as Pres. Ford was. His tacit endorsement of Trump's sentiments will be his versions of Ford's pardon of Nixon.
