As you say, Trump is incapable. Can't do the job is can't do the job. Don't think this would be a misuse of the 25th.

The great advantage is that unlike impeachment, the House does not have to initiate the 25th. Assuming the generals and the bankers of the cabinet decide enough is too much, among themselves, they can get the ball rolling, without initial public debate.

The disadvantage is that 2/3 nut in the House. With impeachment, 50%+1 does the job there.

Still think Pence would be worse. Much worse.

Conservatives would have voted Trump to get Pence in the copilot seat, aside from voting party first.

He'd certainly be no picnic. More politically destructive--he'd likely mess up social programs and taxes a bunch, with actual ability to get things passed. Less destructive of trade, less chance of big new war. Less morally destructive--less corrupt and less corrupting, not an anti-president on twitter, no aid and comfort to nazis. Prob less likely to tear down the EPA....

Trump is mercifully incompetent and fun to laugh at. Pence? Not so much.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have elected not to attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors in December amid a political backlash among those who will be feted at the event.

The first family will not participate "to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Saturday morning.

The announcement comes as three of the five honorees — television producer Norman Lear, singer Lionel Richie and dancer Carmen de Lavallade — said they would boycott the traditional White House reception related to the celebration.

Saying he and the missus won't attend the ceremony is another petty example of his inability to fulfill his presidential responsibilities.

How long till his insult the boycotters tweet appears?

Twelve different charities have now dropped plans to hold fundraising events at Mar-a-Lago.
