(38,958 posts)as too who would be worse, well that is open for some discussion. The one in the photo above would most certainly be so.

(58,785 posts)a COMPETENT Trump would be far worse. Pence comes closest to that because he is, of course, literally closest.
How's this for a dream that could conceivably come true, even if not likely, if Pence went down with Trump: President Nancy Pelosi. Yes, I know some don't like powerful women, but if it happened it'd mean we had a majority in the house, and very possibly the senate. She's tremendously competent, and we could get to making our big 2016 agenda, and more, reality.

(6,697 posts)The thought of President Pence keeps me up at night.
Trump is an embarrassment and his staff is so busy either picking their noses or everyone's pockets there's not much time to create real mayhem.
Pence would be taken seriously and has a belief the Republican Party was created by God to wipe everyone off the face of the planet who is not a member of his church or Jewish.

(30,481 posts)The mayhem he is causing runs deep. From gutting departments to the tax scam. Look at the EPA and what has happened. Trade wars coupled with a hair brained foreign policy.
The guy is having a huge impact.
The clout they would lose with Trump either being impeached or stepping down would be huge. Then off to elections with a Republican Party in tatters.

(24,380 posts)I think Congress would and could do more to keep him in check
I detest every possible stance he has, but he isnt as inept as Trump is.
If Trump got impeached after the midterms, I doubt the American electorate would keep a whackjob evangelical around, provided we can put up a decent candidate

(4,407 posts)Trump is in it for himself; Pence is in it to prepare the way for the second coming of an angry and vengeful God. Also, he could work better with the Republicans in Congress to do more long-term damage.

Kanye running in 2024.
Kanye would be worse.

(2,863 posts)Of course I'm not really serious, but when I see folks like this in line for the presidency I wonder if we really wouldn't be better off without anyone there at all.

(43,209 posts)Well, technically speaking, we've got serial killers in prison who would arguably be worse than Trump but even then....not a whole lot worse.
President George Zimmerman, perhaps?
