Put this in the category of be careful what you wish for. The instant that Trump won the White House, the chatter about impeaching him has been non-stop. The reasons many legal scholars, ethics experts, and political analysts give boil down to this. He has business dealings with foreign governments, most notably Russia, his family management arrangement still presents business conflicts, his possible violation of the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits presidents from buying influence with federal officials or receiving special treatment, and influence peddling and gift taking from foreign governments. These are all sticky points that Trump hasn’t done much to address.
But even if he doesn’t, the move to impeach is a congressional call, and the chance of a GOP controlled House and Senate making that call is virtually nil at this point. However, Trump’s business entanglements could continue to run afoul of federal law about money, gifts and influence with foreign entities. This could plop Trump on the congressional hot seat. But it’s a seat that would be disastrous. Because with Trump out you get Vice President Mike Pence. Trump is bumptious, obnoxious, and clownish. Pence is the prototypical ultra conservative in the gray flannel suit. He is business like, efficient, and knows how to run a political office. Trump will lean on him hard to do the behind the scenes, in the trenches work with Congress to get his initiatives through.
This will present no problem for Pence. He knows Congress, and the GOP establishment is comfortable with him. But Pence has his own agenda. It’s an agenda that’s been honed over time as an arch conservative Indiana governor and congressperson. Civil liberties, civil rights, and education, and environmental groups know him too....

In this regard, I think it would be helpful for Pence to intentionally try to appear less normal. He could work on an evil laugh, and take up various types of hobbies which are slightly “off”. He could work on his wardrobe and start dressing all in black. Perhaps he could get an odd tattoo with a vaguely occult flavor to be just picked up by a photographer from time to time...
“Impeach?! What in the blazes for?”
These people are heavily into the ganja.
Pence is a Christian. Their worst nightmare.
In case you are unaware, Ted Cruz is NOT eligible to hold the office 'vice-president'...
Well they can pray to their God that they get enough votes to impeach Trump and every politician they don’t like gets full impeachment and removal from office.
Yes, my bad.
