re: #62 KGxvi

Pence also has the luxury of being the only person in the building that Trump can’t fire, since he’s technically an independently elected constitutional officer. Trump could freeze him out, and the job would return to the old bit about being worth a bucket of warm piss… but then again, if the Senate ends up 50-50 and Pence really wants to be an asshole to Trump…

Exactly. I pointed this out earlier today.

Tomorrow is going to be absolute war between Trump and Pence. One of the reasons that Pence thought he could get away with this is that he can’t be fired. He felt safe enough to backstab Trump, who could demand that the House GOP impeach him as VP but that is NOT going to happen.
