... as the sort of slimebag he - such a godly man, you know - has always denounced. I wonder if he thought early on, "This guy's crazy. It would be easy to invoke the 25th and I can fulfill god's mission and become president."

Pence has said several times that he always thought god wanted him to become president. But any true godly person wouldn't sign onto the crazy criminal express because it's supposedly everything they despise.

Poor Pence never got his chance.
