Pic Of The Moment: Trump Now At War With His Own Running Mate Over What To Do When They Lose

[MADem]

9. Pence is using "the royal we."

He is grateful to T-Rump for three reasons:

1. Trump pulled him off a re-election campaign that he was losing--BADLY.

2. Trump gave him national status that he can parlay into cold hard cash, either writing a book, or going for "political pundit" appearances on the newsers, etc. He also has a little juice from this misadventure that he can translate into other business opportunities. If he can clean up some of his views, and sell himself better nationally, he could go so far as to be a primary candidate in 2020.

3. Instead of looking like a nutter to those who know him, to those who do not (a much wider audience), he comes off as "the sane one." Thing is, that is ONLY by comparison but the wider US audience doesn't get down in those weeds, generally.
