The Smart Move: Keep Trump In Office

[Exilednight]

Trump is undoubtedly the most moronic, ignorant and paranoid president to ever hold office, but impeaching could be far worse.


If he's removed, Pence takes over, and next to Trump be will look competent.

Trump fails at policy due to foot in mouth disease, but Pence is a political operator. He can push through agendas that Trump only blusters about.

If we remove Trump, we could be looking at 7 years of Pence.

1. Pence goes too...

he is up to his eyeball in all of this. Perhaps even Ryan goes. I think it is dangerous to think in terms of suffering this fool in office.

After all of the political fallout of an impeachment of several current office holders the GOP will be the lamest of the lame duck parties. If not... we have bigger trouble to worry about.

3. Pence is smart enough to insulate himself.

6. Pence was head of the transition team

that removed classified materials fro a secure SCIF. Someone had to okay that. He goes.

10. Agreed. I say let's take our chances with impeachment. Pense and that whole party will be tainted.

2. Might Pence nuke the Korean Peninsula when he meant to push the "Diet Coke" button?

Pence might be evil but at least he has an idea of how to function in a government.

Get trump out now, impeach Sessions this summer, and once we take the House and Senate impeach Pence and the rest of the gang. I like the idea of having them govern from a position of fear that theirs might be the next head to roll.

But definitely get trump out asap!

4. Nope- he's a felon and dangerous

[mreilly]

5. I can't take it..

... I can't take the daily drama, the tantrums, the tweets, the smug egotism, the infantile behavior. He needs to go, and now.

Plus I want to see his idiotic supporters crying into their cornflakes. They will tolerate Pence since he'll say what they want to hear. They WORSHIP Twitler and his departure will confirm that electing him was the lousy rotten stinking mistake we all said it would be.

7. I totally disagree

Pence was on the verge of not being reelected in Indiana. He is so conservative that neither of the coasts would even imagine going for him. How is being unelectable in Indiana translate to being a political genius?

[MGKrebs]

8. It's not up to "us".

The media smells blood and they will not back off because "we" want them to.

9. Trump is too dangerous to keep in office.

And if he is impeached or resigns under duress, Pence will remain under a cloud, as will the entire GOP. While he will certainly seem more "normal" than Trump (almost everybody is more normal than Trump), he can't avoid being tainted with his association with and defense of him. He and the GOP will be weakened. Nixon's "normal" VP, Gerald Ford, couldn't save the GOP from Nixon's taint, and made it all worse by pardoning him - which probably cost him the 1976 election.

[FreepFryer]

11. Nonsense. That's the irresponsibly stupid move.

[onecent]

12. No....he won't. ASK ANYBODY IN INDIANA. I came from Indiana, and I have talked to

several of my friend there..THEY were SO GLAD TO GET RID OF PENCE THEY WERE JUMPING FOR JOY.

He wants to put all ladies back to the 30's and shut women up How many women do you see in the Drumpf white house?????
NONE (Except for Ivanka and she is never there)

[Mme. Defarge]

13. NON!

Absolument pas!!!!!

[H2O Man]

14. Respectfully disagree.

VP Punce will be damaged by impeaching Trump. Keep in mind that he was in the room with Trump, the Att Gen, and assistant AG when Trump requested cover for firing Comey. Thus, he purposely lied to reporters about why Comey was fired.

More, there is zero evidence that Flynn had lied to Punce. There's only the word from the White House.

19. Precisely.

[jalan48]

15. The silver lining is that Trump's behavior could lead to the Democrats taking control of Congress.

16. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

17. I'm starting to think the Repubs will just let him bury himself.

Eventually he will. He can't shut up. He always has to be the center of attention.

[Demsrule86]

18. Maybe but the Country's best move is to get him out.
