re: #194 Hecuba’s daughter

The point Jonathan is making is understandable; to make impeachment a more acceptable policy it needs to be framed as not overturning the 2016 election through switching the party in power. This can be handled by Pence resigning and someone acceptable, like Grassley taking over the VP; Trump resigning, Grassley promoted, and then Grassley nominating someone acceptable as VP. As much as I would love a President Pelosi, a change in party would provoke too much additional dissension to the impeachment process. But replacing the criminals with two Republicans who have no further ambition would be reasonable (and yes — this is a change from my previous Romney calculations)

The line exists for a reason not to placate the goddamn GOP because they’re a cesspool of corruption so no he doesn’t have a point. He wants to do everything to rationalize the idea of letting the GOP keep power even though they’re enabling a corrupt administration.
