By refusing to invoke the 25th, Pence is behaving carelessly.
This nation cannot and should not be forced to go two weeks not knowing who the fuck is in charge.
This needs to end Monday.

(10,476 posts)Pence is on the outs with Trump, so he is useful where he is at the moment as the only person in the Executive Branch that cannot be fired. Plus there'd be zero support for it among th GOP, and you'd lose a handful of Dems too.

I disagree with Pence on nearly everything and am still upset he supported the election stealing lie for so long. But he committed to a peaceful transfer of power and all he got was a permanent target on his back for the remainder of his life.
