to the release of the complaint. If the GOP has jumped the ship, it is because they are trying to maintain power through Pence. I am just speculating. Is a resignation looming?

(11,495 posts)trump has already left his stink all over the GOP, and it will take years to clean it up. Also trump will never let them forget, unless of course he runs off to mother Russia, and his pal Putin.
Since pence has also been talking with the Ukraine, he may be in trouble also.

(19,948 posts)they are going to get a massive beating in 2020, for sure if Trump runs, but maybe they can mitigate the losses if they can get him out and replaced by Pence. Then they can blame the Dems for ousting Trump and then set a new narrative. There is no level they won't stoop to.

That's the downer. If and when Trump is gone, we then have a new problem, IMHO. That is we then have a theocratic, pathological, projecting liar on our hands.
However, he seems weaker and less capable at bullying than Trump, but what happens with his executive actions is going to be a concern as far as Christo-Fascism is concerned, etc. Pence is the poster boy of the Fundamentalist Right.
I would note that our foreign policy against woman's rights globally was not just dreamed up by this MisAdministration, it came from the Fundamentalist Right's marching orders which are a deep, dark hole of repression, etc.
