IMO I think for them it will be that Pence is an okay guy as long as Trump is in power. But if Pence were to become presidency I get the feeling sudden;y he'd be a terrible person, etc.
Which anti-Trump people believe Pence is an "okay guy"? He seems to be disliked due to his ******* social stances eg like marriage equality.

I also heard he calls his wife ‘mom’. The guy obviously has some issues.
I've laughed at that too, but it's likely a regional dialect thing. Like telling his children "ask your mother" and it's used in general. Not a he fantasizes that he's married to his mom cos he's a weirdo.

Exactly, he's a shitlord for legit reasons, so dumping on him for something so petty is dumb. Have a laugh over it sure, but move on.
Originally posted by StigmaIt's basically symbolic. Getting forcibly removed from office is a massive political embarrassment. It would hurt the Republicans in general, thus Dems want it.
So if Trump gets impeached, Pence takes over? How is that better for Dems since Pence is more staunch in his convictions than Trump.
I don't see it happening though.
Anyone feel like betting?

Obstruction of Justice and major conflicts of interest are givens. Not to mention his Russian affinity. He needs to be out on his ass.And if we could expel half of the country for voting for him that'd be great, too. F#cking embarrassing.
Hoping that sentence is just you joking.

The republicans will not allow themselves to be so humiliated and basically ruin western civilisation by letting Trump get impeached.
They survived Dubya Bush ffs. Trump is starting to come across as another Reagan, which is good for the party, imo.

One of the grounds for impeachment is obstruction of justice, in which Pence is also implicated, so if Trump goes down for that (a charge to which he admitted on national television), then Pence would likely go down too, in which case, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
If the Republicans retain control of the House, it will be Paul Ryan. If the Democrats take control of the House, they can literally name anybody, including Hillary Clinton.

As long as we get rid of the Hilary voters, who are no less embarrassing(just more pompous and arrogant)
