in a joint announcement with Ryan and McConnell, Pence would state he's going to put 100% of his time and focus on crucial Senate and House races, supporting conservatives. His payback would be strong establishment support for 2020.
I hope he remains handcuffed to Trump, but were I Pence, Ryan or McConnell, that's what I'd see as the best case scenario in all this.

Everything else is just noise to support television advertising.

And the lifeboats are so full, they have to worry that some gross bloviator might make a wave.
