In reply to the discussion: It's time to start preparing for life under Pence [View all]fescuerescue
(4,448 posts)and I spend a ridiculous amount of time online. Nonetheless sometimes news happens without letting me know.
Let's put aside the snarkiness for a moment (both of us).
Here's the thing.
While I think it's conceivable that Senate will convict Trump. It's also conceivable that the Senate will convict Pence.
But they will not. Not In a million years. A billion years, convict both at the same time, thereby handing over the Whitehouse to the Democratic Party.
I think they might throw Trump out. His baggage is getting to much. But they won't touch Pence or hold the trial for him until after Pence is elevated, Pence selects a new VP and they confirm him.
It could go the other way to. Throw out Pence as an offering and keep Trump. But I think that's the least likely scenario.
