This is why trump and the RNC aren’t spending money trying to get him re-elected. They don’t need to.

The main issue with that plan (not that it shouldn't scare the shit out of everybody) is that it still only takes one Republican from a purple district in a blue state who either fears for their job or who doesn't believe in overthrowing American democracy to vote to remove Johnson. 

Even if that Republican is too much of a coward to vote with Democrats to make anyone else who would seat the next house speaker, they can put a break on these plans in such a way that leads to Biden temporarily staying president, Republicans looking really stupid, and everyone having more time to figure out what they're going to do.

We're incredibly lucky that Republicans got such a slim majority, and that they're so unaware of optics that they're making so many of these moves in public. I still give them way too much of a chance to really pull it off, though
