re: #258 Mattand

I just had the horrible thought that Pence succeeds Trump if finally gets the boot, and then Pence gets elected President next year.

Because the average American voter is a fucking idiot, and will look at Pence and go “Well, he’s not obviously insane like Trump, and he believes in God, so he’s got my vote!”

Then we get four more years of the GOP destroying the country, only they’re going to be quieter about it.

I know a lot of this presupposes that Pence doesn’t get dragged down with Trump. But then again, I thought Americans would be smart enough to see Trump for what he was and crush him at the polls.

That turned out well.

You’re giving Pence way too much credit as a campaigner. Trump is a terrible political leader but he knows how to inspire a cult like following. Pence? He was about to lose reelection as governor in a very Republican state because the gist of his agenda is being afraid of cooties and he can’t do Trumps fake bravado.
