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!

(65,289 posts)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.

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.

They are fine with embracing the hatred Trump promotes.

(61,709 posts)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.
