6. I tend to lean toward NOT impeaching now...

... for several reasons. The slow drip of scandal has not let up yet, and I don't expect it will. It has them somewhat paralyzed, or at least impaired. I happen to believe that the only thing worse than a dysfunctional republican government is a functional one --- and I fear Pence would lead a functional republican government.

I understand it's not a perfect scenario. But last November 10, I don't think any dem envisioned a perfect scenario for the next 4 years.

But I have a question. What do you think Pence would do that is better - for the Country or for dems - than what Trump and Co. are doing? Why would you prefer him?
