It's all setting up nicely for a President Pence.

[Funtatlaguy]

The new media phrase is....."a vacuum of moral leadership."
Trump being, rightly, derided for his 48 hour delay and being forced into naming names.
CNN even put together a greatest hits montage of poor moral leadership during the campaign (with clips like the mocking of disabled reporter) and since the election.

I believe the die is now cast.
More and more republicans will abandon the Trump ship.
Most had planned to wait on the Mueller report to officially do so.
But, they now have a "justifiable" reason not to.
And, for many, that's just dandy because they will get someone much better than Trump.
Mike Pence.

Watch for a deal to be cut before the end of the year.
Trump will resign with the condition of unconditional pardons for him and his family.
Plus, there will be no release of any of his financial documents or information.
We will be told that this is best for the country.
North Korea will be used as a convenient excuse.
We must turn to that immediate threat and not be embroiled in what Trump and his family "may or may not" have done.

And, who better than the ever so gentlemanly smiling Preacher wannabe from Indiana.
Straight out of 1960's casting for a remake of Father Knows Best.
He will help heal this nation. They will say.
And, the Murdochs, Mercers, and Kochs will agree to this.
Knowing that Pence will go along with big tax cuts.
Speaker Ryan will agree knowing that Pence will help him go after entitlements.
McCain and Graham will agree knowing Pence will go along with all of the war games.

And, for Pence?
Oh, he's just licking his chops for Justices Kennedy and Ginsburg to retire.
He wants to take this country back to God. That will be his mission.
Get rid of abortion, gay rights, separation of church of state.
Those are the things that he cares most about.
That and the End Times.
He will step that up in the Middle East...and, if North Korea also helps...praise BE, sure, Hallelujah!

For those that think Muellers report will bring down Pence along with Trump, you're dreaming.
It's done.
The deal has been made.
Watch for hints from conservative media.
Watch how they move away from praising Trump to praising Pence.
Listen for words like healing & forgiveness (which is how Pence will defend his pardons).

Am I wrong? Where?

1. If the republicans didn't moved away from Trump before, they aren't going to now.

Trump's base is solidly behind him and Republicans can't be in disarray going into mid term elections.

They will hold their noses and stick to him like they have done over and over again in the past.

3. They've got time.

Now at 34% approval in Gallup. All time low.
Only 78% of Repubs approve... 10 point drop in last month.
If they move soon enuf, they can heal themselves in plenty of time for Nov.2018.
And, they will count on Americans ADD and short memories.

2. Possibly

But Pence, although truly terrible, would be better than Trump. Pence doesn't command this white nationalist following that gets KKK members in the streets.

Pence would also be severely damaged by being associated with the impeached Trump and not having been elected President.

4. I'm not too sure about that.

Pence would get things done legislatively....much more so and more quickly.

5. I fear Trumps base could become unhinged if they feel screwed

Might be good to have Pence type to lead the flock back to safer pastures...

6. Isn't sad that it may have come to us

rooting for somebody like Pence to care for us.

[WinkyDink]

7. The good news will be his Gerry Ford fate: Never elected President.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. The bad news is that Pence is an Evangelical Dominionist

That will name someone just like him to all federal benches.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. Did Pence just send someone over to the White House to measure

the drapes?

10. I don't give a shit. Give us President Pence rather than this asshole eight days a week

Who fucking cares?
