The videos above are today’s reminder that the Republican Party’s problems won’t be solved by replacing Donald Trump with Mike Pence in the Oval Office. Everything that Trump has politically touched is tainted, including the Vice President. Pence has his own problems and bushels of lies hanging over his head in relation to the Russia scandal.
Mike Pence is not popular. The idea that Pence could replace Trump and all would be well is a fantasy that has been embraced by Republicans that don’t want to deal with size and scope of the damage that Trump is doing to their party.
The scandal isn’t going away, and replacing Trump with Pence won’t solve the problem.
