A Mike Pence Presidency Is No Longer Just Dinner Party Chatter in DC — Is He Up to the Job?
MSN News ^ | October 12, 2019 | Bill Powell, Newsweek

As House Democrats ponder the politics of impeaching Donald J. Trump, they are weighing the possible outcomes. An impeachment inquiry could weaken the president before next year's election and give the White House back to the Democrats, or it could backfire, the way the GOP's effort to oust Bill Clinton did in 1998. But there's a third option: impeachment could succeed. As a senior staffer on the House Judiciary Committee framed the dilemma, "What if we're left with President Pence?"

That scenario has seemed far-fetched — until this week. At the moment there don't seem to be enough GOP senators who would vote to convict Trump if the Democratic-controlled House passes articles of impeachment against him. But the president hasn't been able to quash "Ukraine-gate," the scandal that erupted after a White House whistleblower reported that Trump pressed Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Releasing the transcript of the call, which the White House apparently believed was exculpatory, only intensified the pressure. A recent Fox News poll showed a majority — 51 percent — now want Trump impeached and removed from office. That was the first major poll showing a majority in favor of Trump's ouster.

Same thought here.

Counting their chickens before they are hatched.
When one is as full of them self as this rabid, radical gang, guess it comes with the territory.

Ignorant? What makes them believe THEY WOULD BE AROUND to witness a President Pence anytime soon? In their wildest dreams! Sorry, you stupid asses. There will not be a President Pence until he is elected in 2024. Such a shame, just keep doing what you’re doing; you have a possibility of missing this event as well.

Are they forgetting that there is a presidential election in 12 months. The American people are going to make a decision. Congress is not going to do anything between now and then.

Orchestrated demoralization.

I worked for Jimmy Carter. He was a lot of things, but nice guy wasn’t one of them.

The Rats want impeachment without a vote based on an anonymous source with hearsay evidence which will then be somehow voted on in secret by the Senate.

Mean, vindictive, sneaky, controlling, somewhat deluded and bitter.

It sucks your darling GOPe is benefiting from Trumps brass

They’ve done almost nothing to help him

Whores almost to a man and woman

They only benefit by comparison to the Bolshies

President Pelosi will have to find a way to get ring of President Pence after impeaching President Trump.

IMHO the qualities of the leader we will need to replace President Trump are defined by our enemy.

We need someone who has what it takes to fight and defeat the dirtiest, most unethical, most evil political force known to man (i.e. the Democrats). Our leader will have to get into the trenches with them and beat them hand to hand...withstand every kind of attack (on himself and his family) from every imaginable direction and to return deadly fire that anticipates and even understands the evil from which it comes. He will have to be willing to be accused of all kinds of filth and let it roll of his suit of armor. He must have a killer instinct but be strategic enough to understand that killing isn't enough (i.e. their earth must be salted like that of Carthage).

God bless him. He's a good man.

But Mike Pence is not that man.

Just as God raised up Trump, he will raise up another to take his place.

Have faith.

I like Pence, I think we should be looking at Ron DeSantis in the future.

No one in the GOP is up for the job.

Not anymore.

Any Republican not named Trump is done before they even start, the Demonrat Party would eat them all alive.

They are going to have to be dealt with before any gentle Repubics could possibly even be considered, not that I would consider any of them.

True, but I have a LOT of faith in the born again mentality and world view.

Two very important elements for a successful politician is knowledge and wisdom.

Knowledge is a collection of facts and data.

Wisdom is the ability to USE that knowledge wisely.

If wisdom is coupled with Godliness, I don't see a downside.

Pence will take the base Trump began and fine tune America

I can't agree with you more.

Today's talk shows will be a big tell.
