Hot Airs Allapundit has a theory and it goes like this. President Trump, along with many Republicans, myself included, see the Democrats impeachment inquiry as another coup attempt. The thinking is, that if lawmakers call for Pence to be impeached along with Trump, its the same as saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be President. If the Senate ever voted to remove Trump or Pence, or especially both of them, the GOP would be done as a party.
