Long-time Maryland resident here. He may be popular in the conservative, Trump-loving parts of the state, but otherwise, he's not popular.

If Trump is impeached, Pence becomes POTUS and Ryan (or whoever replaces him if this afternoon is a fiasco) becomes VP.



No. Pence would appoint his own VP.

This. Everyone doesn't move up a rung in the ladder if only the president is removed. The Speaker of the House doesn't come into play unless both the president and vice president are removed at the same time.


Spiro Agnew was Nixons VP. He was impeached and replaced by Gerald Ford, then speaker of the house. Nixon resigned, Ford became President. Please understand how this actually works.

The so-called rain tax is a GOP stigma attached to dealing with a real problem. But go ahead and believe your fox news. In the meantime, all of the pollutants from the streets and fertilizers from the farms are strangling our rivers and there is no mechanism to deal with the problem.

See, Gerald Ford appointing Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice President. The appointment had to be approved by both houses of Congress. Ford himself had gone through the same process when Nixon appointed Ford to be VP after Agnew resigned.


Nixon didn't appoint Ford, he was Speaker of the House.

Totally, totally wrong, in every respect. Read a book once in a while!

You are a tool then. Thanks for nothing.


Just COULDN'T bring yourself to vote for Tony Brown? A man who is very much cut from the same cloth as President Obama? If Brown would've won, he would've been a shoe-in in 2020 for the Presidency. He could've been Obama 2.0.

But you and a bunch of other racists just haaaaaaad to screw it up.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me what Hogan did that was so great? All I see is that he cut education funds.

I'm a liberal D.C. resident and I liked that he banned fracking. Did he sign the Planned Parenthood bill?

Fabulously wrong. Nixon did appoint Ford. Ford was confirmed by the Senate. Ford wasn't speaker - Ford was Republican leader. They have this 25th Amendment that was taken so very literally at the time.

Mmmm long-time DC/MD resident here as well. Not a republican, and can't stand there party half the time. Hogan is actually very popular, and I voted for him.

I don't think not voting for Brown made someone a racist in and of itself. But it does raise my eyebrows when I hear a Dem didn't support the party ticket and oh, by the way, he just happened to be black.

I'm not saying it's racism.... but it's racism.
