12. Pence Would be Just as Bad or Worse

I do not think Mike Pence would be a better option. There is a part of me that think Mike Pence is actually the person running this country. The things that are happening now are happening because Mike Pence wants them to happen. The things that will happen after Trump is inaugurated will be because Mike Pence wants them to happen. I do not think Pence would be more diplomatic. Do you mean more diplomatic toward Democrats, or more diplomatic towards international leaders? I do not think Pence would be more diplomatic to either Democrats, or foreign leaders.

It would be much better to give that money to either the Democratic Party, or to different Democratic Party candidates. That money could be used to help Democratic candidates get elected at the state and national level. How many Senate seats, governorships, and state legislatures will Democrats attempt to protect in 2018? The Democrats in each of those elections could be given at least $1 million. $1 million is not a great amount of money in a campaign, but it would help any candidate.
