(837 posts)and that it would take out EVERYONE down to Hatch, who would be Prez if all acted upon.
Remains to be seen. Wildcard in ALL of this is, if true -- once allegations, facts, crimes become common knowledge ... how much continued GOP obstruction occurs ....??
I don't BET on Louise, but don't discount, either.
Time will tell, and good to know what possibilities are out there.

(7,768 posts)If Ryan is 'dirty', could the House elect a new Speaker and he/she would get the nod?

(505 posts)Best you could hope for is Mattis, he is 6th and Independent. Pence, Ryan, Hatch, Tillerson, Mnuchin, Mattis...
Further down the list there are 2 more Independents:

Of course, if some of the Reps or Indeps show some decency and we have evidence that the GOP somehow stole the election, then maybe Hatch or Mattis could make Hillary VP and resign in an attempt to rescue what is left of the GOP for the elections to come.

Also, remember, if it's something big, the entire GOP Admin and leadership will be disgraced, and it will get very interesting.

(13,081 posts)Because "They" hate chaos. Not good for business. Even if the FBI has the goods and releases them publicly, it won't go anywhere. Too many jobs, too much money at stake. Republicans will use Fox and Breitbart and RT to bury us in a blizzard of bullshit.
36% is apparently too dumb or too selfish to realize how badly they're being played.
My personal guess is, if Trump DOES go down as president, the figurative bleeding stops at Pence.
