Yes, about a hundred years further.

... Ironically, I'd take a Trump presidency over a Pence one.

Me too. Add Cruz and Rubio to that list. I'm with the legions of Trump supporters who silently believe Trump could be controlled, or shown the nearest shiny thing, and send him to bed early, satiated. But career guys like Pence/Cruz et all have the knowledge to actually dismantle more of America.
This willingness to gamble with the future of our nation by electing Trump absolutely floors me. How well has the Republican Party controlled Trump so far? Talk about delusional thinking!
I'm with Ammo here... this is crazy talk. I'm convinced that the first thing Trump would do as prez (he's probably done it already) is to see exactly what he can do as prez unilaterally - 'just how much power will I have?'

He's unpredictable. He might send a 'police action' against Costa Rica because of a deal that went bad 15 years ago and he wants to get even. WTFK what he will do - THAT'S what scares me the most.

It's not a gamble if you know how a person will act, and I don't think Trump is unpredictable, just malleable. "Wanting" a loonie like Pence or Cruz (compared to Trump) is truly dangerous. Trump, by contrast, can't do half of what he says he'd do.

Uh hello! The german ruling party under President Hindenburg made Hitler chancellor because they thought he would be a figurehead, and they had enough controls that he couldn't do any damage, and their control over him would keep the nazi party in check. How did that work out? Trump has many of the same goals and attitudes as Hitler. The parallels are uncanny.

Truth.

I find it interesting that Pence didn't list "American" on his self-defining who he is.
Religion, economics and Party before country.

Well, if you listened to Trump's convention speech you would understand that "America" is a terrible place with a terrible military that nobody in their right mind would admit being aligned with.
