Alan, a very chilling thought to think Pence could have actually been hung. Why would not his secret service protectors not started shooting the ones who who going to hang him? And frankly, it seems that even the crowd might baulk at actually following through with a hanging, although I know crowds go mad. I guess the crowd could have overrun the secret service and they could have killed him. But it would have been a bloody mess all on tv. Very hard to actually envision.

Susan,

Of course this is all speculation. But, the secret service detail is just a few guys, and many in the crowd were also armed. The reaction of the crowd? Who knows?

Haven’t the hearings been riveting? It’s so much worse than I ever expected. Curious what will happen with Trump. It’s such a complicated question about him.

By any reasonable standard, Trump should be indicted.
