I now think we need to slow down on impeachment/removal (and why we should always listen to Pelosi).

7. there is no path at all for pelosi becoming president, except if she runs in 2020.

perhaps you're banking on her becoming the speaker of the house after 2018, then getting rid of both benedict donald and pence?

republicans will never allow that to happen simulaneously.

even if both go, they will remove one, appoint a new republican veep, then remove the other.

that way they keep the white house in republican hands.


ok, ok, there's a tiny window in which they remove one, then the other immediately drops dead before they can confirm a new veep. so maybe there's a one-hour window. of course, they'd lie about the time of death, so it would have to be something like a public decapitation so they couldn't get away with that. very remote chance....
