Impeach now -- President Ryan. Convict trump/pence then impeach after midterms -- President Pelosi.

Are they 100% sure this can't happen?

1. Only one thing can stop us, really. NOT electing ANY democrat, NOT electing the

democrat MOST likely to win in their district.

If our opponents manage to get us to NOT support the most electable candidates, then we will do NOTHING

2. Honestly, I think it could work out better for us if Ryan took over.

He's easily crushable in 2020. I like Nancy, but I don't know how well she would do in a national election and I'd worry about losing in 2020.

3. It's not going to happen.

We all want the Trump/Pence two-fer, but we're not going to get the Trump/Pence two-fer.

Unless evidence comes out that shows Pence is equally as culpable as Trump in the Russia business, Republicans are going to rally around him even if they ultimately abandon Trump.

And if there's a Democratic majority, that's all the more reason that they wouldn't convict Pence along with Trump. We're not going to have a 2/3 Senate Majority even if we have a great election. And Republicans aren't just going to willingly hand over the keys to the White House like that.

So we're stuck with Pence, like it or not. But give us a congressional majority and he's a lame duck with inescapable ties to an impeached President. It might end up so bad for him he might not even run in 2020.

4. Pence will pardon everyone, appoint Romney, resign

Pence will then make big money with Koch brothers.

5. Maybe Mueller has contingency plans for them.

Mueller and his team have to want justice after all this effort.

6. Some version of this idea pops up every few months

And the answer is yes it is 100 percent certain it won’t happen

[brooklynite]

7. Yes...it can't

First, what are you going to impeach Pence for?

Second, unless you impeach both at the same time, Pence becomes President and appoints a VP that the Republican House will approve.

8. Crimes uncovered by Mueller.

Just because he's not in the news every day, doesn't mean he's innocent. If he is, then you're right. If they know he is going to be indicted, would they make a calculation that there is a potential drop dead date for installing a republican president?
