Here are the results of our “Which Fuhrer is worse?" poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking of the majority of those who actually do think.
And here are your comments:

I voted "Worse". He’s already got his eye on the WH with dreams of upsetting the applecart even more. At least with Dumpster we know he’s just crazy.

I voted "Worse" – because the GOP would be a unified voice.
At least now a small percentage of republicans are embarrassed by the antics and policies of Trump. That would disappear w/ Pence – a well-practiced hate-monger of longstanding.

Pence would be just as bad – but more focused…but he doesn’t have that trumpster bandwagon. He can’t fake it like trump, and his stupid "laws" as Gov. are being tossed..so we MIGHT have a chance. Plus, I think he was almost as deep in the election rigging as trump.

All depends on who controls the House & Senate.

With all the evidence against Pence and Drumpfenfarten, maybe we would get Schiff! With Ryan stepping down, and all the others with evidence against them, we should have them just about ALL cleaned out! ROTFLAMAO!

Worse, because, as Gene says, he is soooo far too the right, but also because of two other issues:
1- After tDump, the country may just take a time out for a few deep breaths, and he will seem, will appear, more reasonable, certainly less distractible, and calmer.
2- This will give him cover for his bonzo evangelical, "Jesus is talking to me" behind the scenes manipulations. See my posting, at C2, regarding the somewhat quiet, but gathering storm of evangelical, Dominionist politics: http://www.care2.com/news/member/565542931/4102295

Worse. He’s so far to the right of Trump he’s not even in the picture.

Pence may be worse because he has about the same agenda Drumpf has, only more zealous, but he won’t fill his administration with complete incompetence. His people may actually accomplish what they set out to do: make America white and Christian and have them serve their lords: the 1%.
However, Pence being worse doesn’t mean Drumpf is the better choice and he should stay on, He should go and take Pence with him.

I find him more sneakier, than dt, who bloviates on a daily basis. He’s more quieter, but certainly not a good choice (unfortunately) for the needs of our Nation right now.

better, as horrible as his policies are…..similar to Rumpenstein, he is not such an arrogant jerk…….although wouldn’t work for anyone, but his cronies either……..I am not sure the Cult of Pence is as large or crazy as the Cult of Trump

Well, this is another – I won’t call it a trick question, but definitely a tricky question. I’ve been thinking that Pence would be worse, because he is both a a Dominionist, and an experienced politician who know how sausage is made. But, on reflection, I’m not so sure. What I said is true, but it’s not the whole truth. What he lacks is the populist charisma (I know, I don’t feel it either, but his followers do). He isn’t the Messiah. Only Trump os the Messiah. And that would throw a huge monkey wrench into getting done what he wants to get done. Do I’m going to go with "Just as bad."
I voted worse. While Pence and Trump are virtually identical when it comes to policies, Trump is so flighty that, when he meets resistance, he moves on. Pence is single minded and will persist until he tastes blood. Furthermore Pence will strive to convert the US to a Dominionist Theocracy. Worst of all, if Trump goes down, the average ignorant, apathetic US voter will assume the problem is solved and stick his head back in the sand.
The new poll is up. Enjoy!!
RESIST!!
VOTE BLUE!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
New poll:
As strongly as I feel about this, I may struggle a little to explain it. Mainly I am basing it on where respect is due. A father owes respect to his daughter because she is his flesh and blood; he is responsible, both for making her, and also for taking care of her, including protecting her. Donald’s remark was the opposite of that. Now, Ivanka has some position in the White House, and with that go responsibilities, including the responsibility of being a decent human being (and yes, I know n one in the White House is up to that; therefore NONE of them has earned any respect.) Whereas a citizen has a right and duty to call out bad behavior by officials to the degree the behavior is bad. Doing so is not disrespect if the behavior deserved it. This did.
And then, of course, I also agree with Sally Field.
New poll: Who in their right mind would say something like that about their daughter? Or anyone for that matter? He’s a disgusting perv, and talks/looks at her like candy. He’s a revolting pos, and there’s no excuse. imho.
Yes, Joanne, I agree with Sally Field’s statement too.
i had voted ‘just as bad’ ?
New poll ‘trump was worse’ ?
Much as I abhor tRump, if he were ousted and Pence took his place, we would be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Sometimes it’s better to stick with the devil you know. As a Trekkie pal of mine put it, tRump is Harry Mudd, but Pence is Khan Noonien Singh.
Agreed that Pence would be worse for much the same reasons as you and others, TomCat.
Let’s hope everyone in Drumpf’s administration is kicked from the job together with Drumpf. Otherwise we’ve aint seen nothing yet.
I think Pence would be much worse. He has the veneer of “Christian piety” which Drumpf does not. But I think he would turn the US into a theocracy without batting an eye. Drumpf is just a useful tool of the evangelicals right now, but that could easily change without much notice.
The best remedy? . . . get rid of the entire kit and caboodle at the same time. The current régime is a cancer in the US that is danger of metastisising as we speak.
Thanks all. Hugs!
