Strategy Reading: Pence the lesser of two evils

This article by Jonathan Crowe, Opposition in the Age of Gish Gallops proposes a strategy for the Medium Game. In summary, he observes:
• Yes, actually, from a world-annihilation standpoint, Pence as president is a superior choice to Trump.
• There is no way to get rid of Trump procedurally without the Republicans in Congress helping.
• It's going to suck to be a Republican in Congress under Trump, for reasons he explains.
• Republicans in Congress will stick with Trump not out of loyalty but fear of reprisal.
• If the Republicans in Congress lose their fear of Trump's reprisal, or fear something else more, they will gladly throw Trump under the bus in a heartbeat.
• Trump will no doubt be eminently impeachable, should they ever be minded to do so.
• Therefore it should be the Left's focus to foment strife between Trump and the Republican Congress.
I'm not doing his argument justice. Go check it out. Strongly recommended.
