Mike Pence is done as VP...

...and that's why Graham has been showing his ass. He's known it since the Kavanaugh hearings and is positioning himself to replace Pence. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

....or somehow be impeached and removed.

Trump can’t just switch him out willy nilly.

And if Pence is out by any means, Pelosi should follow McConnell's example and say that the people need to decide it in the next election.

Presumably at the convention, the delegates could elect the VP they want, but probably they'd go along with Trump.

Fun!

Talk about signing up for a 3 hour cruise. I am not so sure about it, but like the theory.

He knows where every single body is buried and every last skeleton in every closet in the White House and Trump Tower is hidden.

Pence is also the evangelicals' favorite.

Graham is a warmonger. He just talked Trump into slowing down the withdrawal from Syria. He wants to be SecDef, not Veep. Of the four referenced here, Petraeus has already said 'no thanks'.
