He will be able to implement changes that will remain in force indefinitely, and the nation will be so relieved to see Trump gone, he will have a free hand to do so. Whatever Trump does will be quickly discredited and can be undone. The nation can eventually recover from a military or economic disaster. Pence wants to build a different kind of America altogether.

Forces have already been set in motion, in his own party, to remove him before the campaigning gets underway for the next mid-term election. The Democrats will be blamed for it, a charge which they will gladly accept, (which will provide the Republicans cover from the revenge of the trogs), but it can't happen without GOP assistance. But as I keep on trying to tell you guys, be careful what you wish for. Trump's replacement, and the dismantling of his constituency, is not going to signal a new era of liberal sweetness and light in Washington. The agenda will still be the same, a return to the politics and economics (and socio-cultural fascism) of the early twentieth century, and this time there will be no Teddy Roosevelt around to bust the Trusts. Frankly, I think we're better off with Trump. Trump is history.
