We need three clocks to hit midnight at nearly the same time: Trump, Pence, Ryan.

And by that I mean there needs to be enough evidence regarding Russian meddling in American politics against all three so they are impeached and/or resign all in a very short period of time. A President Pence or President Ryan are also disasters, albeit of different types. Hatch may be less so.

RussiaGate. Ryan to a slightly lesser degree. They were ready to steal the election (again) regardless of who their candidate turned out to be. Just Kismet that Trumpsky had his own deal with Vlad the Impaler.

he'd get to nominate a USSC Justice? He must have been pretty darn sure how things were going to go. Nobody else would have taken a bet against HRC.

We don't want any of these to become president as their first act would be to pardon the others.

Here's what I have proposed: Pence goes first (like Agnew did), while trump is embroiled in the impeachment process. Just to be ornery, (because he's mad at the GOP) trump names Hillary as the new VP (replacing Pence). Trump then pulls a Nixon and resigns, and Hillary becomes our rightful president! Happy Days are Here Again!

F*ck Ryan and Hatch.

And I wouldn't want that anyway since it would mean that soulless weasel Paul Ryan would become president.

If Trump goes first, Pence will become president. If Pence goes first, Trump will pick his successor who would then be first-in-line to the presidency.
