I'll say it. Pence will be worse.

[Socal31]

"Tinkle Tinkle little Czar" needs no introduction, but he is not American Taliban. I'm not a woman or LGBTQ citizen, but a Pence admin scares the crap out of me.

This all cant be real.....mental midget or relig-nut?

[NutmegYankee]

1. I disagree in part.

He is part of the American Taliban.

[Socal31]

4. To me, his brand if racism and sexism is juvenile and easily countered.

Whackos like Pence, with at least a room-temp IQ can fly under the radar until 3 SCOTUS appointees are ready to inflict Evangelical Sharia.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. It will be awful.....

...but it won't be worse. Trust me.

Pence will try all he can to push a super conservative agenda, but he's not pathologically impaired to the point he'd start a war over a petty insult.

Plus he'll be forever tainted with his association with the Madman and have musty stink attached to him. He can run but he can't hide.

I can at least see to 2020 with Pence. Can't say I say the same about Trump.

[Dorian Gray]

9. I agree

Way conservative. His agenda is probably too conservative for many of the conservatives running for re-election in two years. I think we can weather him. He's a politician.

And at least I wouldn't have to look at DT's face for the next four years.

Can't he (Trump) just go to jail?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Hopefully Trump stink will help us in 2018 as well. Nt

[Phentex]

12. Exactly. Pence is the devil we know.

I can't stand him and I thought he would be worse. I assumed trump was just a narcissistic bozo. But he is clearly mentally unstable and has been compromised.

[Pholus]

3. That was part of the plan. Pick a replacement that might even be worse...

[HAB911]

16. I believe that is the reason Ryan and crew supported him

they were confident when the time came he could be removed. Win the WH at all costs with this in mind.

[J_William_Ryan]

5. Both

And Pence would be worse than Trump.

[Silent3]

6. They're both horrible prospects...

...but I fear Trump's instability and would-be tyrant personality more than Pence's fundie conservatism.

If Pence takes over at some point, I'll consider it out of the fire and back into the relative safety of the frying pan.

[Mike Nelson]

7. Agree...

...that's the idea. He is the real deal, without the outrageous... a more smooth move toward the extreme right.

[uponit7771]

8. This was for pence all along

[greatbaldeagle]

11. I disagree

Big Con Don is not mentally stable. How can anyone be worse than a lunatic with access to nuclear weapons? With Pence i don't have the same concerns about whether or not we will have an habitable planet in 4 years. And at least women and the LGBT community have the possibility of moving to more progressive cities/states/countries if Pence threatens their civil rights. That's what many African Americans did during the Jim Crow era. Moving to another planet isn't exactly an option yet.

I get that both could be dangerous but who is MORE dangerous? A psych ward patient with a gun or a sane but deeply religious man with a gun?

[shraby]

13. If they start an independent investigation on the t.v. machine it's hard telling how many

heads are going to roll. When they start asking what did you know and when did you know it, either they lie until the lie won't cut it, or tell the truth and haul more into the pot.

They might just get Pence, McConnell and Ryan all at once. Remember, Ryan tried to distance himself from trump before the election, so he probably know the fat was in the fire.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Worse in some ways, but I suspect he's got a better temperament...

for the nuclear football.

[BlueStater]

15. No, he wouldn't.

He'd be horrible for minorities and the climate, sure, but I wouldn't fear that the USA would get nuked under him.

Yeah, this is what counts as a plus in this day and age.

[cyclonefence]

17. At least there would be no second term

which would be a major concern with Trump presidency.

I do agree that in many, many ways Pence is worse than Trump.
