      1. So the big hot take on the left is "Why push for impeachment? President Pence would be worse!" Can I explain why this is nonsense?

      2. Trump & Pence bad but different. Trump is chaotic evil, Pence is lawful evil. Trump is the Joker, Pence the Grand Inquisitor.

      3. Worst case scenario under Pence is The Handmaid's Tale (theocratic totalitarianism). With Trump it's Mad Max (nuclear apocalypse).

      4. America can recover from a theocracy (in fact it already has: early Puritan settlements). Less easy to recover from a nuclear holocaust

      5. Leaving aside worst case scenarios, the simple fact is that a President Pence would take command of torn, wounded GOP.

      6. If Trump quits or is impeached, the GOP will be ripped apart. Trump has a significant personality cult of 40% of party.

      7. Moreover, if Trump leaves office, he's not going to disappear. He'll still be around (Trump TV!), still tweeting. And he'll target Pence.

      8. Trump won by combining tradition GOP partisans with influx of more white working class. Trump leaving would blow that coalition apart.

          And Pence isn't picking up any centrists. VP Kasich might have, but no one likes Ayatollah Mike.

          9. Trump is already having trouble governing because of deep divisions in GOP between Tea Party house members & conventional GOP.

          10. Pence would take over the already factionalized GOP and it would have even more divisions (because of angry Trumpists.

          In fantasy scenario that Pence goes down w/ Trump and WaPo tape loses Ryan the Speaker, who would be your preferred GOP Pres?

          To me, for penc & tRump to go down, needs Dem House, in which case Nancy Pelosi is probly speaker, in which case first woman pres?

          After 2016 I'm done speculating what will blow the GOP coalition apart, they're held together by negative partisanship as best I can tell

          Dunno... that's what everyone said about Trump winning the nomination: it would fracture the GOP coalition. In the end, GOP voters came home

          This actually wasn't a huge effect, netting probably 0% nationally and 1-2% in WI/MI/PA when the opposite effect for CW is factored in./1

          This WWC shift, limited to a few states, wouldn't have been nearly enough without HRC also hemorrhaging to third parties.2/2
