President Pence? Could it end up being President Paul Ryan?!?!?!?

[SFnomad]

Every day it just gets worse for tRump ... drip, drip, drip. And most all of it is either because of tweets he has sent or things he has said. Obstruction of Justice and a cover-up are both on the table now, among other things.

That has led many to believe we could be heading towards a President Pence. But now we're hearing that it's unlikely that Pence was "Out of the Loop" in regards to Mike Flynn. Could we be on our way to Obstruction of Justice or cover-ups there too?

And if both of these could be proven and they're both removed ... could we really be looking at a President Ryan?

1. Ryan is the smooth sociopathic monster.

As opposed to the orange monster or the theocratic monster.

2. Not Ryan because

more leaked tapes of "crime family" conversations will be leaked, God willing and the creek don't rise.

14. Oh the creek is rising..

and guess who can't swim.

3. Been reading that Hatch is likely.

Apparently considerable squeamishness with something in Ryan's portfolio . . .

4. Ryan is next in line after Pence and then Hatch after that

That people like Sessions and Carson are even on the list of succession is just frightening to think about.

6. SEssions and Carson are way down.

[SFnomad]

12. When they have State of the Union or other such gatherings

There is always a "designated survivor" who stays away from the gathering ... and that person is sometimes down the list.

And they're not that far "down the list" ... Sessions is only 4 after Hatch. Carson is further down the list.

5. Hatch would be far preferable to Rayn, but neither is an attractive choice. If this

drags on until 2018, and we are able to take back Congress, a lot of possibilities open up for us and the country

7. It Will Be President Pence, Ryan or Hatch...

Get ready for it because Trump is going down and fast. That is why Pence has been quiet lately as a Chestnut Mouse.

Now, let's hope Pence and Ryan go down with Trump. Not excited about an President Hatch but he will not last longer than President Gerald Ford did. A remainder of a term.

8. I've read suggestions that Paulie is in it, too.

[Afromania]

9. If they are talking about Hatch

It's because people think the entire lineup of Trump and his flunky Voltron force is up to their asses involved with Russia. Hatch is the only person in the lineup that isn't a founding member of the Trumpanzee circus cavalcade of infamy.

10. Pence and Ryan are toast. nt

[standingtall]

11. Probably not

What seems to be forgotten unless Pence and Trump are impeached and removed at the exact same time whoever is president will have to pick a new VP and that person will jump to the front of the line to take over as President when all the dust settles.

[SFnomad]

13. The new VP would need to be confirmed by the Senate

Ford, the last VP that was appointed, took 6 weeks to get approved by the Senate ... and at the time Ford was the Minority Leader and pretty much a rubber stamp, at least as approvals go.

If Pence is under a cloud, I doubt it would go so easily.
