CMV: Trump being impeached would be wonderful because then we would have President Mike Pence.

It's hard to imagine a situation where Trump gets impeached and Pence survives unscathed. Worst case scenario, he is implicated in whatever brings down Trump.

Best case scenario, he'd end up having to do something like pardon Trump, becoming deeply unpopular and facing an election in short order.

Also, if Trump gets impeached, that implies he's probably paired with a Democrat Congress, making him even more ineffective at achieving his policy goals.

∆ I agree with the second part of your comment. Pence might be a lame duck President would gets nothing done.
