5. Pence is worse in some ways,

a Koch puppet neo-con, far right fundamentalist, with the polish and smooth delivery of a televangelist.

He's obviously better in other ways, more of the conventional politician who will conform to governing norms, and is safe with the nuclear codes.

Trump is a full-blown fascist, who thrives on chaos and antagonism, and who will subvert the constitution to achieve his ends.

Pick your poison, I suppose.

I think I'd rather see Trump implode in office and easily defeated in 2020 while bringing down the GOP with him the whole way - rather than get impeached and Pence taking over - which has the risk of the public thinking of Pence as 'normal' by comparison, and thus retaining office.
