While President Donald Trump escapes his tumultuous White House for a campaign rally in Florida today, Republicans in Washington must be wondering how they can get rid of this guy.

The quicker Mike Pence takes the oath of office, the better!

It's not that anyone should be surprised. I mean, the Donald Trump in the White House is the same Donald Trump everyone saw during the campaign. Did they really believe he would pivot into, well, a president?

Yet, it's probably worse that most people thought.

You know what's happening. And where it's going isn't good. Trump's chances of holding office for a full term seem to be diminishing.

If he resigns, it would be much less damaging to Republicans for it to happen sooner rather than later. The longer Republicans appear to support him, the more tainted they become.

If Pence becomes president this year, he'll have plenty of time to establish a normal administration and to disassociate himself from Trump by 2020.

He won't have instant credibility, of course. After all, he bought into the Trump candidacy and has been a loyal vice president so far despite how ill-served he's been by his boss.

Remember, Trump fired National Security Adviser Mike Flynn Monday, supposedly for lying to Pence about his conversations with the Russian ambassador. Yet Trump was told Jan. 26 about Flynn's talks ... but never let Pence in on it. So, Flynn was sacked for lying to Pence while Trump merely withheld the truth from Pence. Yeah, not much of a difference. Pence should be ticked off about the whole deal.

Pence ought to quit, except ... he might be president in the near future.

For the sake of our country, let's hope he doesn't have to wait.
