Pence will probably not have much time to execute his vision, and he'll have virtually no mandate to do it. They'll get massacred in mid terms even though the dynamics are in their favor wrt seats in jeopardy and it will be even worse in 2020.
This is how I feel though I'm not even sure how much it would harm the party. Hell, could trump legally just run again after being impeached? Now that would be great.
It took me less than a month to come around to understanding that pence wouldn't be nearly as bad and I have the same fear about him being very effective at pushing a horrible agenda.
