Three steps to President Pence

Step 1 - actors within the Federal goverment, "anonymous" hackers and the Corporate Media collude to damage Hillary just enough to give Trump the edge in the General Election.

Step 2 - Republicons in the House and Senate immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Trump re: the mounting illegal activities being alleged against him. This seems to be the most logical reason (to me) that many Republicon anti-Trump politicians have done the turn about and are now endorsing him.

Step 3 - Upon Trump's impeachment, we are faced with President Pence. Goodbye Supreme Court, Women's Rights, and all the other Progressive legislation that have been hard won over the years.

This is a coup attempt, pure and simple IMO...

it's okay to call me crazy...

We must prevent Step 1 from occuring at all costs... GOTV..!!!

That's pretty far out though. Pence would be awful, freaking awful. Creationist homophobic asshole.

...and by God, I'd applaud him. No matter how contemptible Trump is, the GOP "establishment" is worse. The idea that they can dispose of Trump is as absurd as the German conservatives who thought they could "tame" Hitler.

If Trump is elected (turn around three times and spit) look for that very scenario to play out!

The FBI would reveal the Russian connection after the election, but before the electoral collage votes. The Republican electors would then vote for Pence instead of Trump. Coup accomplished.

1. There are a lot of crazy Trump Republicans in the House.
2. I don't think the Democrats would play along. If Trump does win then they are going to let him take the Republican Party down for good.
