When do the Pence match-up polls begin? And how will this affect Biden?

[floppyboo]

Should folks start factoring that in? Will there be a Trumpian war on Biden? Will Pence be Trump's avenger? I guess that will go for any democrat.
Is anyone else feeling a little sick about all this? The vibrational noise is louder than ever!

1. Pence suffers from personality deficit syndrome, he'd be

a disaster as the head of the ticket.

2. They already have, Dem candidates matched up against Pence and Nikki Haley...

Surprisingly, those alternate Republicans do WORSE than Trump against our candidates.

[floppyboo]

5. phew!!! my trust in humanity is somewhat restored!

[floppyboo]

21. I can't find a date on this

Who are these 5-10% dems who don't vote for any of the dem candidates?
Happy to see both Bernie and Joe dominating the independents - although could be that lots of independents aren't as involved as of yet? name recognition? Guessing here.

25. Date's in the top left, in the old style frame.

It says:

Data Collected: 09/13/2019 - 09/16/2019
Release Date: 09/18/2019

3. I do not believe the GOP will remove Trump from office unless the GOP voters turn on

him, and I find that unlikely. I hope he is removed. I think Pence will be easier to beat than Trump.

[avebury]

4. Pence Presidential polls for 2020 would drive

Dump totally insane.

[floppyboo]

6. haha! Let the games begin! Or does he replace Pence with Haley? Can he do that?

Can he fire Pence? I can't take anymore!
So sad the climate conference at the UN was so over shadowed. And gun reform.
But I do think that this is inevitable. Just not so sure that the outcome will be peaceful

[floppyboo]

10. IMO: Once he's impeached, all dissenting Dems need to STFU, irrelevant of where you stand.

[beachbumbob]

8. Pence is an extremist and would crushed in all but the hard red states

[customerserviceguy]

13. Compared to Trump

he'd look almost like a normal person. But, I don't expect him to waltz to the GOP nomination if Trump goes down. He has his own potential problems with Ukraine.

[beachbumbob]

20. Pence is hardcore religious right and would be crushed in all

Battleground states, no chance in Michigan, Pennsylvania, hell even Florida he would lose.

[customerserviceguy]

28. I can't agree

He would appear "moderate" after three years, give or take, of Trump. He's much better at hiding his true agenda than Trump ever could be. Also remember, PA has elected Bob Casey statewide how many times?

[beachbumbob]

29. pence makes Bob Casey look like Bernie Sanders

[oldsoftie]

9. Not going to happen. Man, talk about putting the cart before the horse

[floppyboo]

11. It would be really imprudent not to consider various outcomes.

edit: Including the one where the Dems win this impeachment initiative. Or are you resigned to them loosing, again?

[oldsoftie]

22. Oh, i'm sure theres already a plan in place for the small chance trump leaves.

But i'd put that chance at about 5%.
I dont doubt he could be impeached. But i have great doubts of a conviction. But at least he'd carry that stain with him forever.

12. Don't coronate Pence for the nomination just yet

If it looks like Trump is going down, I fully expect a challenge for the nomination from Mitt Romney. He didn't get elected to the Senate from Utah just to experience the D.C. winter. He's learned from The Godfather, "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer." I saw him make negative noises about Trump at The Atlantic Festival. And the Salt Lake Tribune is happy to report it:

https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2019/09/25/sen-mitt-romney-calls/

Weld and Sanford probably think their star is rising, but they will be swept away by Mittens if Trump is truly toast. Remember, Bobby Kennedy didn't announce his campaign until after LBJ dropped out about April first of 1968, so there's plenty of time to mount a campaign for the GOP nomination, if it looks like Trump isn't going to get the nod.

[floppyboo]

14. How could I forget about Mittens? Of course!

[customerserviceguy]

15. He's been waiting in the wings

just for this moment.

[oldsoftie]

23. But the "base" cant stand him. He's a RINO you know!!

[customerserviceguy]

27. It would be a competition

between the country-clubber Republicons and the fundies, who adore Pence. The infighting in the GOP would be delightful to watch.

I'm not saying that Mittens would get the nomination, just that he intends to try if he sees an opening. Nixon lost in 1960, and came roaring back eight years later, surely that's encouraging to Romney.

[GulfCoast66]

16. Lord! Trump ain't going anywhere!

We will still have to beat him.

[Turin_C3PO]

17. We had people

swearing up and down he wouldn’t be impeached. And look where we are now.

I’m just saying, anything is possible. If pro-impeachment/conviction polls show 60%+, we might get a conviction in the Senate. Unlikely but possible.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Great if it happens. But do you think it will?

Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

[Turin_C3PO]

19. I agree,

we should definitely focus on Trump.

[oldsoftie]

24. Polling today still shows over 50% against it.

Who knows which way those winds will blow a month from now

[pangaia]

26. THAT is a great idea !!

If pollsters started doing polls of dems against PENCE
