11. You skated right past the answer when you mentioned Pence...

... I respectfully disagree with your assessment that the GOP won't impeach Trump. As you said, they have a compliant Pence. They don't NEED Trump. What they want is to ram their agenda through and they can do that just fine via Pence.

If the pressure is kept on Trump, and the scandals keep coming up, and the bullshit keeps flowing, and his approval rating keeps tanking, the GOP will be running scared because they know they are tied to that filthy scumbag. They can impeach Trump and get him out then install Pence.

There might be short-term fallout because they originally backed the monster, but they can try to use this to their advange to proclaim themselves heroes who "saved" the country.

And going forward they can hope all the anti-Trump activists go home, Pence continues to push the exact same agenda, and they can dismiss any opposition by stating: "Hey, we gave you guys what you wanted; we got rid of Trump. Now let us slash taxes for the rich, eliminate abortion and mandate Christian-led prayer in schools."
