re: #399 Targetpractice

As usual, it’s going to depend on whether Trump jumped or was pushed. If he resigns, then the GOP will try to force the issue of crowning Pence on the grounds that we need to “heal the nation.” If he’s removed by the GOP, then they’ll be humbled enough to call for Pence’s resignation as well, but will insist on not going farther than that because (they’ll insist) the blight has been cut out. That basically means President Ryan and whoever the DNC finds the least objectionable to be VP.

Remember Agnew’s charges had nothing to do with Watergate — but with accepting bribes before being VP, a practice that may have continued while he was VP. So the question is: was Pence involved with anything illegal prior to running with Trump? Unless they have something in writing or on tape, his “I know nothing” act may let him survive to be our Commander-In-Chief
