I'm afraid the root of the problem for the US lies in the electorate. The beauty and the danger of democracy is that a country gets the government it deserves.
When so much of the electorate looks at Trump, at what he does, hear the things he says and still believe that this man is not only fit to preside, but doing a decent job, then the problem is that these people have abandoned any degree of reason, human decency, pragmatism and completely lost the will to look at facts and observations.
What the man says is now gospel to some, no matter how wrong he is repeatedly proven... His actions are welcomed like miracles from the prophet himself, no matter how much experts and those competent in the relevant field say otherwise. What you have here is not a government, it's almost a cult: "Don't listen to anyone else, only I know the truth"...
So, I agree. Pence wouldn't be any better than Trump. He is a much more intelligent man, but his intentions are only to further the hard lined Republican agenda of helping the rich and impose religious social values on everyone else. It would be a breath of fresh air to have a president who's not only interested in his own massive ego and his own money and who would be more mentally stable, but the result for America at large would be equally as damaging.
There is still a large proportion of decent and intelligent people in the US, but their voices have been drowned out by the overriding loud delirium coming from the backwards areas of the country.
The crazies have taken over the wheel, and everyone is along for the ride. I personally don't think the US has ever had such a bad president/government. Seeing how Trump manages to somehow maintain his popularity through his propaganda despite all the evidences mounting against him, there is no indication that this was a mistake...
As his predecessor Bush Jr famously couldn't say: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...
Here's to hoping the moron doesn't start a global war when he inevitably enters a paranoid rage as things start crumbling around him.
Talk about lowered expectations....
