My 2017 Wish is Trump's Resignation!

[Madam45for2923]

People will sooner or later tell him he needs to resign a la Nixon or else...

[riversedge]

1. Wish I could REC a godzillion times. I too, wish for this.

[hlthe2b]

2. Minimal satisfaction, considering we'd have Pence for the remainder of his term...

sigh...

[Madam45for2923]

3. Yes! but one down! and heck who knows Pence might go down too.

He's mucking around in Trump's waters. He lied every time he told the American people that Trump was a good person.

[hlthe2b]

6. On that, I will raise a toast... n/t

[Jim Lane]

18. If Pence goes down we get Ryan

Unless Pence has had time to name some other RWNJ as VP.

Among Trump, Pence, Ryan, and a RWNJ to be named later, Trump might be the least effective at pushing the extreme right-wing agenda.

[Madam45for2923]

21. Trump is unhinged and a rapey bully Putin puppet! The others might be there no matter what.

[tenorly]

4. But keep in mind that would only leave us with Pence!

A doctrinaire John Birchner and medieval dominionist who probably believes it's his "job" to help bring Armageddon about (as many in the GOP do).

As awful as Trump is, I'll take him any day of the week over a freak like that.

[Madam45for2923]

7. Pence knows to not push the nuclear buttons! Pence is not thin skinned like Trump

[tenorly]

12. Pence is definitely a lot more scripted - but that may make him all the more dangerous.

I think we've all seen it in our personal lives: it's not the obvious troublemakers one has to watch for, as much the smooth-talking, placating types.

Whereas Trump is your garden-variety buffoon, Pence has always stuck me as a psychopath in church deacon's clothing. A character not unlike the '80s film villain in The Stepfather, capable of almost anything.

If the presidency does fall in Pence's lap (God forbid), I certainly hope you're right.

5. Cannot share the wish

Pence is worse than Trump.

Trump isn’t the problem – any Republican president would be the problem with a Republican Congress and the current makeup of the Supreme Court.

[Madam45for2923]

8. I think Trump is a huge problem in many and varied ways. Trump is compromised to his ass

[Madam45for2923]

9. The GOPers are all bad pretty much but Trump is utterly unacceptable

GOPers = Ulcer
Trump = Gangrene

[USALiberal]

10. Pence is worse IMO.

[MFM008]

13. I disagree

Pence is a moron and a religious nut but he is a traditionalist.
He wont tweet constantly and he wont be outwardly insane.
He will most likely pull the traditional horrible republican line
not be Caligula calibur.
Plus he can be beaten easier because of lack of emotional investment by maggots fanatics.

[Madam45for2923]

17. This! Trump is a dangerous thin skinned dimwit thug who is compromised to his ass

[Freddie]

11. Impeachment would be better

Would taint the party as a whole. Yeah we'd get Pence but not for too long. Thinking back on Nixon/Ford (I'm that old), Ford was a good man and not a bad President, but after the whole thing the country had enough of their party and showed him the door. Let history repeat itself.

[murielm99]

14. I keep thinking about those times, too.

(I am also that old). There are some similarities. The U.S. electorate has to see open corruption before they act. Remember, Nixon was elected twice. We need to have fair elections as well, or there will be no repeat of those Post-Watergate times.

[MurrayDelph]

15. Especially if there was

something in those emails that he thinks HE should be able to keep private.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. That woould mean Pence, but Pence may be manageable. And don't forget...

that if they fuck up enough, in two years we get Congress back.

Sweet dreams imagining either of them with a Democratic Congress.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. and then say hello to President Pence and the Republic of Gilead (n/t)

[Madam45for2923]

20. Pence might be there either way, I prefer sans Trump
