Got a link to a reputable source to prove that?

If not, you're lying.

It was what followed that revealed the absolute incompetence and danger presented by having a corrupt and inadequate individual in office.

I agree that Pence would be a relief from the constant drama and outright stupidity, but he's no one I would ever support as a candidate. I'd give him a chance, of course, but in view of his record and stated opinions, he'd never be my choice. But he'd be a huge relief. At least for a while.

Shoot, Nixon would be a relief from Trump. As would any of the previous 44, at this stage.
The problem is, off the top of my head, I can't come up with a candidate I would consider having the ability to go against Trump. Schumer? Maybe, but just maybe. I can't see him capturing anyone's imagination. A potential perhaps is Beto O'Rourke IF he takes the Senate seat from Cruz.

Biden? Too old, although I like him and I think he is credible. I don't see many from this list as being able to capture that imagination.

You think that the investigation of Manafort was wrong, you don’t think there was suspicion of his connections.

What if it's no longer Trump, but Pence who's the Republican candidate in 2020? Who might beat him?

Yup, Pence would be more difficult to beat, as I indicated earlier.

Your feverish hopes and desires that maybe Mueller will come up with something does not constitute an actual basis for any of this.

There have been many leaks from the Mueller investigation, and you have no knowledge of any basis for the claims you supporting. But that is apparently the life of the constantly lying left.
If you have any sort of proof, bring it. Otherwise it didn't happen.

What if Pence gets indicted too, along with Ryan and McConnell? What if we are dealing with President Orrin Hatch by the time all the papers are served?

Neither has Trump. But they don't care about any of that.

Regardless of them being indicted or not they all lied and gave cover to the POS Trump and his criminal administration.

That is definitely true.

If Obama had half of what Trump has going on, McConnell and Ryan would be licking their chops to crucify him.

Many GOP Congressman and women have shamed themselves as they stand by silently while Trump embarrasses our country and insults our allies. They have chosen party over country, and I hope some of them are voted out in November.
