With Pense in danger and involved, it is more important than ever to take the house in 2018

God forbid that Paul Ryan becomes President. Democrats have a slim chance of taking our country to sanity.
We could save our social programs and all the rights gained under Obama.

1. What really, really, really pisses me off is that Republicans should not have been in control

of the office because the election was tampered with by the Russians. Even so, if Trump goes we will be stuck with a Republican until 2020. That isn't right. There should be a provision for a new election.

2. President Pelosi!

4. I know! Right?!

3. I hadn't thought of that! We could get a Democratic President in 2018!

5. If we take the House, does Nancy become president...or would it

still be GOP?

6. The Speaker of the House is second in line to be president. Party affiliation is irrelevant.

If the president and vice president are unable to serve, then the Speaker of the House becomes president. At this moment, that person is Ryan. (Ugh). BUT if this succession were to happen after the Democrats won a majority in the House, then the Speaker will be a Democrat, and that person would become president.

The timing would have to be perfect, though.

7. The Senate is super important as well. We could shut down court picks.
