Regarding Pence, the smart (i.e. - not playing to the wingularity base) move would have been to stay for the game and issue a statement along the lines of:

Even if you don’t follow through on anything, it puts the ball in the players’ court and makes it at least look like you care (hell, it might even end some of the protests if you actually take the meeting). I don’t see how this is so difficult.

That would’ve earned him a dressing down on Twitter. He has to stay on the good side of the white nationalist Trump base to earn their support for his 2020 or 2024 presidential run.
