Do Progs want a President Pence? Have they thought this through?


They're not going to actually remove him from office. A senate conviction requires 2/3rd majority and that's simply not going to happen.

The impeachment would be symbolic - red meat to throw to their base. It's no different than Republicans repealing Obamacare dozens of times while Obama was in office knowing it would be vetoed. Once Republicans had the votes and a president willing to sign a repeal, they couldn't get it passed. They didn't really want a repeal, they just wanted it to appear that way.

You are absolutely correct. My comment was merely tongue in cheek.
