As Twitchy reported, major media outlets are still interviewing therapists and pushing out stories about “Trump Anxiety Disorder,” but lest sufferers take any solace in their belief that the president will be impeached as a result of the Mueller probe, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni stepped up Saturday to remind them that impeachment would result only in President Mike Pence, which likely would be even worse.
Mike Pence, Holy Terror https://t.co/CaruMXVqHd

There are problems with impeaching Donald Trump. A big one is the holy terror waiting in the wings.
That would be Mike Pence, who mirrors the boss more than you realize. He’s also self-infatuated. Also a bigot. Also a liar. Also cruel.
To that brimming potpourri he adds two ingredients that Trump doesn’t genuinely possess: the conviction that he’s on a mission from God and a determination to mold the entire nation in the shape of his own faith, a regressive, repressive version of Christianity. Trade Trump for Pence and you go from kleptocracy to theocracy.
Wow, he sounds awful. We’d better do everything we can to keep Trump in office and healthy.
Bruni dusting off long-forgotten Yglesias takes from the primary. Sure, Trump is terrible, but at least he’s not one of those conventional Republican freak shows. pic.twitter.com/50RHw0aedH

Don’t scoff — Mueller’s going to take them all down and we’re going to re-do the election.
I love this conundrum. ???

If there’s anything worse than Hitler, it’s Mike Pence.

If he was “literally Hitler,” they’d get rid of him at any cost. Perhaps it’s just hyperbole. ?

Literally Hitler is way worse than his brother Fuguratively Hitler and they both make Adolf look like a sad underachieving older brother.

Trump is literally Hitler, but Pence is Ultra Maga Super Literally Hitler.

Republicans are measured in units of Hitlers in the way torque is rated by units of Newton. Trump? Currently one decahitler. Pence? Apparently up to a kilohitler!

Remember- Bush was "literally Hilter" "and a war criminal" too- and now they say "even Bush was better". What they really hate is Republicans winning. It's all political.

To the Left, the only thing worse than the current Republican is the next one.
