+1, been thinking about this a lot too.
I just read through Pence's whole wiki, it's extremely depressing. But because he's a 'normal' politician I'm worried the fire might go out of the 'resistance' movement. The one good thing about Trump is he's so appalling you really have no choice but to be engaged.
That said, the chances of Trump doing something fully ******ed like starting a war with Iran, actually trying to build a wall, reinstating the Muslim ban, using a terror attack as a power grab to get full dictator powers etc...getting him out of office ASAP > literally any other scenario.
Question I don't know the answer to: In the event of impeachment, can Pence form his own cabinet, replace Sessions and DeVos with regular Rep hacks?
