i think he is definitively panicking

Trump came to Washington unaware of the game he was playing. He obstructed justice while putting out false stories on Air Force One about Don Jr.'s meeting with the Russians. His whole life is about spinning and lying. You can't do that in Washington when prosecutors are involved.

President Pence would be worse, imho. Trump is basically an increasingly unhinged unknown quantity most of the time, and his party has to spend a LOT of time and energy containing him and doing damage control etc. On the other hand.... Pence knows exactly what he is doing. He is calculating and incredibly smart. Soooo it's hard to decide which is worse, but overall, the thought of Pence in charge chills me even worse than the daily tantrums we have to deal with from Trump right now.
