I guess they could stage some sort of bizarre impeachment scenario though on what grounds, I have no idea. Then we'll get....President Pence. I'm not sure people are being careful about they wish for here
I think, to quote John Boehner, we need to truly bottom out before people realize we need change. I don't mean Trump, though he could be the bottom (anything worse and we're basically doomed, no?) I mean our entire political scheme as a whole.
Someone yesterday posted
this article on Facebook (see, it does have good points) about a rural Democrat in Indiana. I disagree with that Senator on most of his social points. Which is ok. The only thing that really bothered me was him being cautious about homosexuality forcing beliefs on people, when banning it is basically just that. That's mild, though, as what he said can be taken many ways and I won't assume the worst.
The point being, he's a Democrat that doesn't toe the line. He wants to represent his constituents (perhaps to a fault in some regards), rather than represent his party. He wants to do what he feels is right and best for his people (and the country, I assume), not what will make MSNBC happy.
to Boehner's point, we need to get back to people falling to parties based on high level beliefs, not every single belief. Politicians and people both.
