You're just falling for Trump's rhetoric. I would think a new Pence would have a better chance of winning than Trump, and I doubt Trump will stand again.

Well time will tell, there is nothing we can do about it.

Which is essentially a non sequitur to the discussion. One big films difference between Trump and Pence is that Trump may talk about Armageddon, Pence believes it is a good thing.

He's worried about impeachment, not legislation.

No. He's also worried about legislation. If part of Congress becomes Democrat controlled, they can pretty much stop any of his proposals. His wall will become even less likely to be built, for example.

Even though he's already started his 2020 campaign?

My take is that he's bothered by none of that. The wall was a means to get elected, nothing more. It's like his warblings about Google yesterday, it's not about legislation, it's about the Donald.

Yep, I think he's just doing that to keep people happy, I doubt he will be able to be bothered.

I don't think he's enjoying it. If he gets through his first term he will quit while he's ahead.

I think he is enjoying himself. Also when he leaves office he won't have the same presidential protection he has now to prevent him being prosecuted for the things of which he is currently accused.

Will resign the day before he is due to go and Pence will issue a pardon.

I get the impression Pence isn't too thrilled with Trump.

The wall is not like his warbling at Google. The latter was all about discrediting reliable sources of information in order to keep the faithful believing. The wall is just one of many pieces of legislation he wants to get done. Trump seems to love his monuments. The wall and all the other legislation would be his monument. A Democrat House might take that away from him.

By the way, Trump will go for re-election unless he believes he will lose. His ego will demand it. On the other hand, if impeachment looks inevitable, I think he will resign like Nixon but he will spin the narrative to make it look like it was a witch hunt. I think that will be very bad for the Republican party.

Pence is ideologically at least as bad as Trump, but he is politically more competent. I think president Pence with a Republican congress would be much worse than what we see now because stuff would get done.

When Trump does the world a favour and leaves it, hopefully his send off will be treated with the contempt he deserved in life.

And that's why I hate Trump and his ilk so much.

So very often they manage to reduce people to their level.

Being so insensitive is quite bad but I could forgive a leader that was insensitive if they werern’t also so destructive.

Bob Woodward has a new book out called "Fear". Read the summary on CNN

I've preordered the Kindle edition.

America needs to amend its constitution so it is much easier to get rid of a president. Trump is a conman of the worst sort, imo.
