Maybe I’m overthinking things and giving Republicans too much credit for thinking ahead.
was thinking about a part of Bag Man, Rachel Maddow’s Incredible podcast, and how prosecutors were nervous up until the very last second when Spiro Agnew walked into the courtroom. I will feel this same way until Nancy Pelosi is voted in as speaker.
is it possible that Trump knows he’s going down (even he has to realize this by now) and will eventually be forced to resign. But what if Pence knows that he is eventually going to be brought down, too? That’s not out of the realm of possibility. Here’s where I get nervous. What if they decide that it’s better to protect the presidency for the next two years? If things get very bad very quickly, they could before Jan 3 and give the country President Ryan instead of risking a President Pelosi.
Mid it a long shot that this happens? Absolutely, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if it did happen, even against the longest of odds. That’s why I won’t rest easy until It’s Speaker Pelosi. There are no guarantees before then.
Again,I know the chances of this are very long, especially given the egos involved, but they aren’t zero, either.
