3. This is like the Keystone Kops of politics.

Pence is a politician he knows there are armies of keyboard commandos on the field, all ready to attack everything that he and the Moron does. They acted like rank amateurs.

There were news sports about Pence's planned fundraiser in LA, making it impossible that he could have stayed at the game for very long. The news also reports that many 49er players started kneeling during the national anthem in recent weeks as a peaceful protest, and it was widely known that they would do it again when Pence showed up. Trump popped off a couple of self congratulatory tweets right in the middle of the stunt, bragging about his fake pr stunt. The pool reporters covering the Vice President said they were held in their vans outside the game, in expectation of Pence's early departure.

So how did these geniuses ever expect to pull off such an idiotic, sophomoric, theatrical stunt without it all unraveling in their faces?
