mad, and alarmed. Probably did some very sincere praying for strength and guidance. And the aides! (The whole bunch deserve this and so much more.)

But as for dropping him, Trump probably never felt he needed a VP on his stage in the first place. Pence may just end up wherever Romney ditched Paul Ryan. Does that count as "dropping"? If so, I'd say right after a handful of obligatory joint appearances.
