re: #411 Targetpractice

6 months ago, we said that there was no way that Trump could win. The negatives were so heavily against him and his proposals were absolutely insane, such that no right-thinking human being could go for them.

It was just last week that a lot of “very serious” people were telling us we had to give Trump a chance, perhaps he’d mellow out and if he didn’t then the response to his actions would be so forceful and united that he couldn’t go through with the craziest of his campaign promises.

So the idea that Mike Pence couldn’t find Democrats who could be bought with 30 pieces of silver to go along with his theocratic craziness is not that far of a stretch. There are enough Democrats in red and purple states who would be willing to accept small changes to something like Pence’s “religious freedom” bill in the hope that it might help them at the polls come reelection.

Well, we’ll have to see.

If Pence is embroiled enough in the Russia connexions, it may go the same way as President Nixon: Vice-President Agnew was ousted first.

As I recall, Mr. Pence is having some troubles back home with E-mail servers and trying to hide putatively public information.

My best-case scenario is that enough of Trump’s supporters become disillusioned with him that they say “screw it” in the next election. If they move to impeach him or use the XXV Amendment to set him aside, Trump supporters aren’t going to be coming after the Democrats. (Hence my position of “no impeachment bill sponsored by Dems,” let the GOP do it and tear apart their own base.)
