Trump is done. How do we stop Pence?

Repubs are now openly using the "I" word and, according to CNN's Ana Navarro, McCain just compared Trump's actions to WaterGate. The tide is turning, so democrats need to think about the next steps.

Pence looks like the Vice Principle who is upset that there are too many over due library books.

I go to sleep OK and then have this reoccurring dream that the United States selected a degenerate TV personality to be President and within the first 3 months of his election he creates chaos, constitutional crises and goes on an overseas trip that results in a large regional war. Then I wake up and can't get back to sleep.

by the way, was vivid and intense last night.

It's like they're a reflection of a future that's bleeding back into my present consciousness.

That being said, I bet FBI has something on Pence/Russia. I think despite his claims he was 'lied to' by Flynn, Pence knew exactly what Flynn was up to from the beginning.

If they discuss the collusion, Pence should be highly implicated.
If they focus on the coverup, Pence may skate unless they make a point of bringing him into it.

Manafort is a Mercer tool. If Manafort picked him, then they expect him to be a tool to their ends.

Put him in a small room full of hookers without his wife there. Stroke? Heart attack? Hyper ventilate? Become a total incoherent blubbering idiot? Oh, wait a minute, he already is the last one.

And Pence became president would he draw a primary challenger/s in 2020? I kind of think he would. In any case he's weak and inspires no one.

It was Trump Pence 2016. We had a rally in our Borough on Main about this yesterday.

Until he's getting in that helicopter - it's not over. And - we can use this in NJ this year and country wide in 2018.

Pence is in on it - we all know that. A nice slow burning of Trump will get Trump to give us the goods on Pence.
