Trump will be A LOT easier to beat than anyone else.

It might feel good to get rid of Trump but there's not guarantee that Pence won't be just as bad. Plus, Pence actually sounds like a reasonable person with the demeanor of the President. The Republicans love him and would rally around him in 2020.

We need Trump to stay so we can take back Congress and win back the WH in 2020.
