which may get us Pence fairly quickly.

Part of me hopes he and the investigations go on until late 2018 and not give Pence much or any chance to "normalize" the situation. But the other part of me wants him gone yesterday.

If he were having fun presidenting, I'd guess this would go on a few years. But he's 71 and miserable, all cooped up and not able to enjoy his ill-gotten riches. He'll bail, claiming the investigations are bad for his base. Not the country, just his base, as he thinks he only represents them. A presidential pardon will follow and Trump will be back on some crap cable show, acting like this all never happened. Except the part about beating Hillary in the largest landslide evah. And the crowd size.

If for what ever reason trump is out early, I want it timed so the next president (Democrat) has the power and therefore, no pardon for trump. He would actually have to serve jail time.
