What if the Dems could make this deal with Trump and the GOP.

We will agree that Mueller and the DOJ will drop any pending or current investigations and charges relating to the 2016 election.
All involved will receive pardons for any crimes they might have committed.

In exchange, Trump and Pence both resign and Hillary and Kaine are installed as Pres/VP.

Of course, this can’t happen constitutionally. There is no mechanism for it.
But, if it could, I bet privately a lot of the few somewhat sane Repubs would take the deal.

Trump resigns, names Hillary VP, then Pence resigns. Kaine named VP.

Been asking for that option since the election..

4. Me too.

That is my ideal scenario. Or if Pence goes first, trump could install Hillary as VP and then immediately resign. It would be similar to when Agnew resigned.
Whatever..... but something's gotta give here.

6. trump can't name vp at this point

a mechanism that could work for hillary would be for the house to make hillary speaker of the house. (don't have to be a member of congress). Then Trump and pence resign. Speaker becomes president.

Then Kaine could be selected speaker. I don't think he becomes VP, but in case of hillary's incapacity, Kaine would be next in line.

There is a perceptual problem with this scenario. It would make the deposing of Trump/Pence to be a political thing. In reality it is a criminal thing......The important thing is to send Trump to prison.

No one goes on a witch hunt looking for a crime....any crime...unless it's political.

3. NO! IF anything like that could happen, The Pubs would make it impossible for any Dem to

govern. Think multiple hearings per day, EVERDAY, for FOUR YEARS.

That's RIGHT!

5. Not necessarily.

If the democrats take back the House, which is a real possibility, the hearings would be conducted by the democrats. Time to look into Niger!

But first we have to flip the House and hopefully the Senate in November.

9. Well just as good: they resign and line of succession makes the democratic

Speaker president.

Not another " Then Hillary would be President " bullshit, fucked fantasies.

You assholes lost the election, grow up already.

Why would anyone in their right minds put a bunch whiny, screaming, bitching overgrown brats in charge of anything?

This is one of the reasons you jerkazoids lost in the first place and you're too stupid/ crazy to get it.

What psychedelics excreted that fantasy?

Here is how hilliary can become president":

the clintons move to Haiti

all the clinton supporters move to Haiti and vote clinton in as president. Then they can lock up and dispose of the current Haitian government and the libs can turn the place into a socialist / communist paradise.
