re: #62 KGxvi

One way this plays out… if there’s even a couple molecules of integrity left is this:

Pressure mounts on Trump. Pence resigns, whether because info came out about him that causes a problem or because of an unidentified “health concern”. Congressional leadership tells Trump “this is who you’re appointing as VP, no one else will be acceptable” (it should be bipartisan, but since confirmation requires only a majority in each house, the GOP could do it on their own). New untainted VP is sworn in. Trump is impeached and removed. Untainted VP becomes president, vows not to run in 2020, replaces entire cabinet.

DC Republicans will never put country above party, so the only way that this could be sold to them is by convincing them that the Trump circus is bad for the party. That won’t be easy to do.
