4. They DO really and truly want Pence

They knew no one like Pence would inspire enough idiots to come out and vote to make some states look "close" enough to give Republican governors a chance to toss the election Trump's way. But make no mistake, McTurtle and Ryan are no more happy with Trump than we are. They want an obedient lapdog in the White House, not a loose cannon.

When things look like they've reached the breaking point, i.e. Republicans truly fear losing their majorities in both houses of Congress, they will get Trump to step down, probably for health reasons. If he doesn't do as he's told, they would impeach him for jaywalking. Pence, once he is in, is exactly what they want: an mean, nasty Ayatollah who will sign anything they want him to. Pence could then slit the throat of his firstborn during a live press conference, and he wouldn't get so much as a slap on the wrist from this Congress.
