Then run someone in 2020 and have their campaign basically be, hey you want government to work again, get rid of the swamp monster and let us get back to work.

It really is a pick your poison kind of scenario right now for the states. Trump is a special kind of bad situation but Pence is much more seasoned politician who knows how to "play the game" so to speak. Trump is actually preventing the republicans from being able to get away with making a lot more of the changes they would like to make because he can't help but draw negative attention to everything they do and is also divisive amongst republicans in office. If Pence were to take over I could see things quickly getting much worse for Americans, only much more quietly.
