I know the premise to this hypothetical is absurd, but had the Republican Senate done their patriotic duty, and removed Trump, and Pence turned out to be the man leading the nation for the last 6 months, how would our country be different? 1.How would he have responded to covid differently, impacting the pandemic and the state of the economy? 2. What kind of shape would he have been in to take on Biden, and would Republicans be in better shape in Congress? 3. Do you see him as helping get any major initiatives through Congress, on immigration, the budget, health care reform etc that Trump could not? Any thoughts on what this country be like if Pence were in that office?
This is highly speculative. We know now the reason Pence was chosen was that Melania believed he would be the least to betray her husband. She was spot-on with that observation, but as for him doing better, that is hard to fathom. He is, after all, just a puppet.
Pence is forever stained with being trump's sycophantic lapdog, willing to spout evident lies to pander to trump's ego. And he's a complete religious hypocrite for sucking at trump's rancid teat of immorality and hateful demagoguery while pretending to be a Christian. Let's face it- anyone still working for trump is damaged goods. Anyone with any shred of intelligence, decency or patriotism abandoned him long ago.
Bobbins! Anyone right wing is damaged goods. That you pretend otherwise makes you perfect for shepherding.
This fake mentality that Trump is a blip, and Republicans and Democrats can go back to their elitist right wing outcome without consequence, is just not credible.
I think Republicans would be in much better shape. They would probably lose the presidency anyway, but they might have had a better chance at keeping the Senate, I would think. Assuming the Senators who are now in danger of losing their seats had been among the ones that voted to remove him, of course. Who knows if the response would be better to Covid 19. His response might have been to listen to science, or to order mandatory praying. Sort of a toss up. He might have gotten some things through Congress, but I doubt he would do it before the elections.
Pence was the captain of Dirty Donalds Covid response team and we all know how well THAT HAS NOT GONE!!!!
If Pence, then Left World News repeats same Coo- Coo clock accusations of white nationalist blah blah adding in probably more Christian bashing since Pence is more conservative religiously than Trump is
Its not remotely the same. He is a consummate boot-licker, which we must admit is an important part of the VP job. They are paid not to think. Not to decide. Not to contest. He is supposed to reflect his bosses views. But he was a former governor and Senator as well and far more politically astute about govt actually functions, than Donny. If he was the 'decider' and Trump was out it should impact the decision-making process. Pence may be a religious nut and a sycophant he's not a narcissist or a sociopath and he is capable of making decisions on a different foundation than Trump
I was willing to tolerate Pence IF the Senate had done its job and impeached and removed Trump, but we know what happened there, so other than Trump resigning sometime before the inauguration to avoid trial and prison, he's irrelevant.
Pence is way worse than Trump - who are you trying to kid. What are you talking about - true wolf in sheeps clothing is Pence - Goblin x 2
It's funny to see lefties continually cry about the Senate supposedly not "doing its job". They have no idea of the Pandora Box that the Dems opened. Now any President can be impeached on nothing more than a disagreement of ideology. By both parties. And if they do know they don't care because thier TDS is to strong and they can't think rationally.
It's anybody's guess, but I have maintained for years that if Trump was impeached and removed from office, impeachment proceedings against Pence would have begun within two months of Trump's removal.
Mueller and Schiff and the rest of Gang Sorry failed completely to lay a glove on Trump, so now the racist and and misogynist charges are coming out (through frustration!) --- --- And meanwhile, the LQBXT bunch are silent because Trump has quietly appointed homosexuals to senior positions. That's still no guarantee the Log Cabin crowd will vote Trump but it's at least hopeful compared to raiding the Stonewall Inn. Christian-bashing isn't going to go well across the "wristline" between Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Church attendance (not mere membership) was still very high until Kung Flu and likely will resume soon once our tyrannical "governor" gets what's coming to her politically. Watch this all go away after the election if Donks win. Their excuse will have paid off and stupid voters will have saved them.
