(25,406 posts)and that a Republican House or Senate would confirm that (it takes both houses), then you're not merely dreaming, you're delusional.
Yes, we might take the House back in 2018, even with the gerrymandering that took place after the 2010 Census, but getting the Senate back in that election is a really heavy lift, given how many seats we have to defend. And I cannot think of any reason Pence would even possibly consider nominating anyone other than a Republicon to be his VP. And unless he is personally tied to some Russia scandal, he would not resign, nor would a two-thirds majority of a Senate that was about half GOP impeach him for anything, he's certainly not Trump in their eyes.
Bottom line is, as much as the Russian leadership may well have wanted Hillary to lose, it was the American people, through the institution of the Electoral College (while it may be archaic, it is still Constitutionally valid) that gave us the result we saw in November.
