Everyone can see where this is ultimately going [View all]

By Christmas of 2017, Mike Pence will be the President of the United States.

It is all tumbling toward that eventuality... and Pence is the least touched by the Russia scandal of all in the Trump White House.

It will be a good day for America... but also a very bad day for America. Most Americans, along with a compliant media, in a desire to move beyond the Trump train wreck, will give President Pence an inordinate amount of good will.

After the exhaustion of removing Trump from office, nobody will have an appetite for fighting Pence and the GOP. Most will want to "move on", and really how can we blame Americans? We're being desensitized to just how bad the traditional GOP is, because of the madman in the White House.

Nevertheless, for the very survival of the Republic, we must remove Donald Trump (and Steve Bannon) from power. We can deal with the regressive Pence administration that follows after that. One problem at a time.
