Tina, Pence is squeaky clean. You're dreaming to believe that both Trump and Pence will be gone. Nixon's VP was a crook. Nixon knew he was a horror show; at the time everyone said he got Agnew as "impeachment insurance." Scandal hit, and Agnew had to resign. Nixon then got Gerald Ford, beloved in both Houses of Congress, and they had no qualms about impeachment. Well, not many. It wasn't like today when people think of impeachment as a remedy to the election not going their way. Pence can be wobbly on PP issues -- which only matters to conservatives -- but he's never been accused of being a crook. Quite the opposite -- he's been accused of being too much of a goody-goody for his personal moral stances.
Pelosi would love nothing better than to have Pence and Trump out of the way. The problem is, it's actually pretty difficult to oust a sitting President. Trump might get primaried -- and I hope he does -- but the hearings alone would last at least two years, until the end of Trump's term. Pence might, by that time, have gotten a pong by association. In the meantime there are Republicans trying to make a name for themselves -- Sasse and poor ol' Mittens being the two that come to mind. Mittens hasn't a chance. I'm no Trumpfan, but someone should have nailed him down on exactly how low of character does one have to be before he wouldn't accept an endorsement from them? We could start at Hitler -- he wouldn't dream of accepting his endorsement -- and work our way down to see where his hypocrisy bar is set. My guess is it's a good deal higher than Trump, and if he could see a political advantage to it, he'd have accepted an endorsement from the worst scum on planet earth. Which makes him a weasel, and not the man of integrity he's trying to position himself as.

I would agree that he hitched his wagon to a pretty putrid star. Word had it that Trump didn't want Pence in the first place, and would have preferred someone a little more on the liberal side. But he took Pence because he was supposed to impress the heck out of the conservatives.
Me, I see a guy who endorsed Cruz but was happy to take the VP job from Trump because he wasn't going to get re-elected Governor, and he didn't want to retire just yet. He's not a crook, but he's not going to win any prizes where people know what scruples are. But that's not the yardstick they're going to use to see if he's impeachable. Pelosi as President is just a smoke dream.
