In reply to the discussion: We should not support the impeachment of Trump [View all]Hekate
(90,189 posts)33. Am I the only person here who remembers Spiro Agnew?!
He was Richard Nixon's VP, and they got rid of Agnew first. There were no double vacancies because as soon as they got rid of that bribe-taking crook Agnew, the House picked Jerry Ford to be VP. Then they went after Nixon.
Stop worrying about Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan has a powerful career, and he doesn't want to wreck that by stepping in to the kind of mess this bunch will leave. He'll run for POTUS in his own good time.
Also, as far as Pence goes, what has he done that's actually illegal? I would love it if someone, anyone, would come forward with some genuine dirt on the guy, but no one has.

Yup. Pence is very dangerous, but at least is professional, important internationally.

at least Pence is a pro who knows where the thirds rails are. He would want to run for re-election

I don't think there's a real similarity. By "collateral damage" I mean his inner circle.

same here. The GOP is going to ride Trump like a rented mule for all they can get from him

Putin agrees with you. I think the reasoning in this post borders on alternative facts.

I am pretty sure both congress and senate would be pretty happy with Pence as president.

There are no grounds to impeach Pence. Good grief. Also -- you have Pence all wrong.

Not to play Devil's Advocate, but what if Steve Bannon stays in the Pence WH?
