this has come up from time to time.

Does anyone else think that Pence has been held in the wings away from the media? I know there is a lot to cover with tRump, but to me it seems like the GOP wants to keep Pence clean. If this is correct, then maybe they are just waiting to install him as a way to save face, sort of a concession to the tRump haters, while keeping the tRump lovers satisfied that they still won the election. I'm getting a sick feeling thinking of how this is being orchestrated. The only way to truly resolve this in its entirety is to connect the entire RNC to Russia.
