I just had the realization that Donald may have made a critical error in choosing Mike Pence.
If at any time Donald becomes an obstacle to their agenda, Republicans will apply the 25th Amendment to push him out of office while celebrating Pence's ascension. Republicans love Pence, Donald not so much.
He might as well forget the idea of receiving a pardon from Pence, too, as to do so would cripple Pence's chances at winning the 2020 election. McConnell plays the long game, and he surely has his eye on replacing Donald with Pence for 2020 -- all he needs is the right opportunity to get rid of Donald.
If this scenario plays out, it'll happen sometime before the primary season because incumbent GOP will need wins on the board and to do that they'll need to remove his toxic sludge, first. Once Donald is gone, Pence will clean shop. It's at this point that the conservative agenda will accelerate with renewal for Repeal & Replace, not facing distractions from the chaos that was Donald's administration.
And Pence is the only person in the administration who cannot be fired by Donald.
Pence is Donald's Achilles Heel and he doesn't realize it.
