All these years, Pence has, single-handedly, played two roles: Hamlet’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. A vacuous, barely noticed, fundamentally out of his depth idiot, a useful tool of kings and princes, he, like his Shakespearean precursors, will probably be killed when his usefulness ends. Trump clearly wants this quisling dead (along with a lot of other people), and he’ll probably get what he wants.
[A] protester in the Senate yelled: ‘Where’s Pence, show yourself!’

Recall Tom Friedman’s opinion piece the other day. He warned that Trump, Cruz, Jordan, Hawley, were doing extremely dangerous things, playing with extremely dangerous forces.
Well, here we go.
