8. It's not a matter of that.....

.....it's a matter of the longer term damage. If Pence becomes President, he will win re-election mark my words.

I already see the spin with folks like my father in law, who is a Republican but who loathes Trump and didn't vote for him. He's angry and afraid about Trump and also at his enablers. But the minute I say, "Remember that if he is impeached or quits. That every single Republican INCLUDING Pence enabled this behavior and his actions" my FIL starts hedging and going "Well, I don't know that Pence knows all that is going on....he's just vice president".

And the media will do the same thing. In the long run Pence is just as dangerous as Trump is, probably more so.
