Slight off topic since it's not on this disc, but I feel the same way about Quick Song. Felt fairly Slash-esque to me aside from the stuff in a 5/4 time signature (the intro/bridge/outro parts, basically).

Evangelicals will vote for the R candidate regardless. You could put Stalin out there with an R after his name and they'll contort themselves to come up with a "logical" defense of him as their political savior.

As for replacing Pence with Haley, and then stepping down even if re-elected, what about a last-minute decision not to run for re-election and seeing a Pence-Haley ticket? The Democrats have been focusing so much on taking down Trump instead of attempting to promote themselves as having a superior platform... what would they be left with if there was no Trump to take down? You can only do so much promoting of yourself via a "We're Not That Guy" strategy. Ask John Kerry how well that works.

Meanwhile, Pence could (should?) be sitting there quietly preparing for this possibility in the background, and he could step right out and attack everything the Democrats could throw at him-- which wouldn't be much because their preparation has all been for a fight against what would then be the wrong candidate. That's why actual, legitimate Republicans (as opposed to Trump-Uber-Alles Republicans) should look at removal via impeachment as being far from the worst thing in the world, but rather a potentially positive strategy for their party.

That said, fuck 'em all, I wouldn't vote for either of those three; and the Democrats have yet to embrace anyone worth a damn. I liked John Delaney, but the lunatic fringe of the party will never embrace his centrism.

I can't get into State of Grace at all, so it's gone.

I'd agree that even in an impeachment, he won't be removed from office. All you have to do is look back at the Clinton impeachment to see that party-before-country is the law of the land. Bill Clinton committed very obvious perjury. The Democrats basically said "Who cares? It wasn't THAT bad." Republicans in 1974 were all set to turn on Richard Nixon when it was obvious he was guilty. The Democrats didn't do it with Clinton and the GOP felt like they got a raw deal. Now because of that, the GOP won't do it with Trump. Party over country. It's why I'm an independent.

But regardless of removal, could enough damning evidence come out in a trial that would turn the middle-of-the-line/on-the-fence voters against him as long as the Democrats don't do something stupid like trot out an unbelievably-far-left candidate (which, unfortunately they will)? Election Day 2020 is only 369 days away.
