re: #58 dangerman

were getting way way ahead of ourselves….
still…

ford pardoned nixon for a reason - best interest of the country and to effectively stop further need for investigation.

that reason wont work again - cause it’s been done, and because this is way more egregious - and so pence’s future would be toast

so if pence lets trump skate in the face of concrete evidence (tapes, emails, testimony etc) then …..i just dont know what the country would do ….AND pence’s future would be toast

If we are, at some point, faced with a President Pence for the remainder of this term, there’s just no way that he wins in 2020. It’ll be the 1976 election all over again. The Trump base will stay home or rally behind some terrible third party candidate. Moderates and those not normally politically engaged will flock to the Democratic nominee (assuming they aren’t terrible). The map won’t be nearly as kind to President Pence as it was to President Ford.
