Franken: Impeaching Trump could lead to ‘zealot’ Pence

 By Olivia Beavers - 06/20/17 09:36 AM EDT


Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) is cautioning his Democratic colleagues that if President Trump is impeached, Vice President Pence would become president and he “would be worse” on domestic issues.

“He’s ideological, I consider him a zealot,” Franken told International Business Times in an interview published Monday. “And I think that in terms of a lot of domestic policy, [Pence] certainly would be worse than Trump.”

Franken said Pence, who ran Trump's transition team, was behind some of the “very worst” White House Cabinet nominees, including Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney.
Franken did say he'd feel better about having Pence as commander-in-chief than Trump.

Sounds like the talking points have been passed down to change directional strategy.

Same thing occurred in the late 90s when Democrats realized that impeaching Clinton could lead to 'idiot' Gore.

Same thing happened when the Dems put Biden in as O's VP.

Democrats have never held the key to impeachment.  Republicans do.  Republicans who become sufficiently dissatisfied with Trump know that his successor will be as solid a conservative as Reagan was.

The establishment and the DEMS want Ryan or Hatch.

Who needs a more civil tone, right Al? It's not enough to say you disagree with him.

Maybe someone'll take a shot at Pence, can't run the risk of a zealot being in charge.

One miserable individual, Franken.

Does anyone but me have a difficult time  taking the utterings  of Franken seriously? (that's rhetorical)

Only the Dems would elect this clown.
