All hail President Mike Pence! I actually do kinda wonder if that's been the plan all along.
Me too. As I have said I do think it will be using the 25th Amendment to say he is too crazy to be President rather than impeachment. But like with other never Trump plans it probably won't work. I can not see Trump giving up and resigning. Under the 25th Amendment if the executive officers say he is incapable Trump can put in writing that he is capable then 2/3'ds of Congress must override this. Trump will legally challenge any determination that he is incompetent and well might succeed as the language is vague as to what incompetent means and who determines it. I think it is likely Congressmen and Senators are going to have to vote.
Any Republican who votes to remove Trump from office at best will face well-financed primary opposition at worst violence from Trump supporters who believe maybe correctly that there was a globalist elitist coup.
It is not in the political interest for the Progressives to remove Trump. They do think he has mental problems and have openly stated their plan is to drive him literally crazy by resisting as much as possible on as many fronts as possible. They want him to be a total disaster for 4 years to destroy the reputation of conservatives and populists for decades. Removing him for a competent hard right politician would short circuit this.
While we do not like to admit it, sometimes we put ourselves in situations where there really is no way out. That is pretty much what I think America has done to itself. As I have stated I do think the man is mentally unfit for this job. Of course, if he does go off the deep end everybody's plan might be rendered meaningless because everyone will be vaporized. Even if it does not go to that extreme so much damage will be done.
