"I'd rather have Pence."

I think we need to jump on social media and remind and promote the idea that Pence will be president. Give conservatives a way out and remind them that we are safer under Pence. We don't have to believe it.

Let's troll!

He'd be a toothless tiger.
He wasn't even popular in his own state, and his presence on the 2016 ticket swung almost no votes. The jellicles would have voted R if a giraffe was leading the ticket.
With an opposition House, Pence would be nothing.

And he's more of a 'normal' politician. He won't think to do the rallies as much. And Tangeranus' die-hards will look at him as something that crawled from under a rock and took their rightful God Emperor's place on the throne.

And look, I hate Pence and all of his policies, but he's not as CRIMINAL as Donald Trump. So he really should be president right now, over Donald Trump. Then we deal with him and try to throw him out next.

It's nuts but we still don't know quite what the fuck is wrong with Donald Trump. Is it dementia? Is it Adderall? Does Putin have something on him? Is he just crazy? Etc... what makes a man this ignorant/corrupt/brash? He's a freak of nature.

that we support further progress to theocracy? Do you think he'd get rid of Miller and his ilk?

It's not in their nature to put up with continuous religiosity.

They are fine with embracing the hatred Trump promotes.

Political party. That’s the only way it makes sense. They should be fine with Pence and remove the criminal.

Pence is an asshole, and I detest him. But trump's pathologies, his narcissism, desperation, and indebtedness to Putin have put our democracy at risk.

What Pence wants to do won't happen in a House of Rep run by Nancy Pelosi. And I think he'd get rid of Barr and Miller and maybe pompous Pompeo.

And I still think he's less dangerous, overall, and less likely to win.
