That said, I quail to imagine how bad things would have to get before a Vice-President and Cabinet would invoke it. Pence, for example, would have to remove his tongue from Trump's ass long enough to even see what a loon he works for, much less grow the sack to do anything about it before it was much too late.
Yeah - Pence is just as bad with his religious agenda he wants to push.
Oh, I loathe Pence and, in some ways, fear him more than Trump. If Trump were to be removed from office, sitting-President Pence could be harder to beat in 2020 than Trump would be. He'd pick up the Trump faithful, possibly win over some independents by parroting the usual conservative bromides without being as outwardly offensive as Trump, and whip up enthusiasm among the now-demoralized Christian Right -- perhaps enough to get those idiots out in big numbers. Couple that with the Democrats' long history of fumbling around and fucking up apparent slam dunks, and you have a recipe for four more years of "My god, what have we done?".
Pence is a piece of shit. The problem is he's an experienced, polished piece of shit. Trump is just Trump in all his toxic, ignorant glory.
