9. Welcome to DU Maggie! I'm sorry I have to disagree with you about Pence being worse

#1 - Look around you, the Pence administration agenda (and worse) is being enacted anyway.

#2 - We have NO SAFEGUARD in place to prevent Trump from launching a nuclear first strike. The guy who abandoned his national security briefing after 20 minutes to go tweet about his duaghter-wife being mistreated by Nordstroms, the guy who set up a situation room in full view and earshot of diners on a semi-public patio, the guy who doesn't know what the nuclear triad is . . has first strike authority AND the nuclear football. Pence is repellent, but not that kind of crazy.

#3 - Prior to becoming VP, Pence was destined to loose the governorship in his own home state because he has all the charm and magnetism of a bag of wet cardboard. His presidency on the coat-tails of Trump's impeachment will be greatly weakened. Trump loyalists will be suspicious of him and The Resistance will be energized and emboldened.
