Don't forget the cabinet.
We are seeing right now what kind of damage even ass clowns can do. Effective administrators with that backing would be much worse.
This is why I waffle on booting Trump. He's a nightmare and no mistake, but he's so incompetent that a lot of the nightmare is just bluster. Pence would be capable of implementing things professionally (and quietly!) that Trump simply can't manage to do because he's such a fail whale when it comes to how government works.
On the other hand, Pence would hopefully get the Republicans back towards more rule of law than blindly supporting an autocrat like they do now.
On the gripping hand, a "successful" President Pence would be harder to beat in 2020 with what looks to be a weak Democratic field, with a lot of people so relieved that Trump was gone that they'd go back to voting their inertia instead of voting like they did in the midterms.
