I have to log off but here's a curve ball -

There's a school of thought that GOP's plan all along has been to wait for Trump to inevitably do something impeachable, then oust him and install Pence.

Then Pence can run as an incumbent without being vetted.

But the monkey wrench was Trump's base. That 31% is impenetrable and they make up something like 70% of the GOP electorate.

They can't afford to piss them off, so they're stuck with him.

Here's a 2017 blog post with more detail:

The numbers are moving, and they definitely want him gone, so there may be some calculations going on about whether, if they all stick together, they can roll the dice and maybe get away with it.

If Trump's favorable's start dipping below 30%, the game changes.

To be clear, this is NOT a good thing.

I know you hate Donald Trump with the fire of a thousand suns and want vengeance.

I know you want to lord it over the MAGA's.

But Pence would be worse. So much worse.

5/
Pence might seem boring and harmless, but that's how they get you. He is anything but. And he's an experienced, crafty politicians with strong ties to Congress.

Manafort tricked Trump into naming him Veep on behalf of the Mercers. Their agenda is terrifying. Google "C street"

Trump's incompetence and complete lack of interest in policy are the only reason we've had a fighting chance.

A real Republican would roll us on everything.

Never forget, Trump is the symptom. GOP is the disease. Trump's policies will not go away, they will get worse.

7/
I know y'all are getting sick of me telling you to eat your broccoli, but it's important to understand the big picture.

We have to beat him at the ballot box. Keep your focus on the election.
