That's The Question

So, the Professor talks about "what if", in the event that a blue wave rolls over Congress during the midterms.

SO WE AREN’T THERE YET, but we may reach a point at which the question has to be asked: Trump or Pence? It’s not Trump or Hillary as it was in 2016. The alternative to Trump now is Pence.

That is something that the Dems might not have considered. 

If the Democrats would have gone along with the Republicans in 1998, and impeached President Clinton, removing him from office with a Senate conviction, we wold have been left with President Al Gore, who might have been a shoo-in for re-election in 2000.   History may have changed, and the Democrats wouldn't be in the bind they are in now.  It's an interesting hypothetical. 

Hillary isn't even in the equation.  And, she certainly should not consider running in 2020.  She's a badly flawed candidate with a history of losing against at least two flawed opponents. 

So, the question become:  If you remove Trump, who are you left with?  The answer is Mike Pence.
