He also got a letter at the Bush funeral, which is still a mystery what that was all about.

See "7 days in May". ....

Sometimes you have to play ball..

I would agree, where it concerns Pence.

1. His speeches are not his own.
2. When he says: 4 more years of President Trump in the White House, I get revulsion. Not at the idea, but how he says it and the face he is making.
3. When he was interviewed on being on the ticket, a straight question, he answered in a convoluted way, such that he did not add anything substantial to yes, I am happy and thrilled to say so (which he did not btw)
4. I haven't seen him do anything that leads me to be trusting at all.

He seems like the silent guy, the sigma behind the throne. He may not even like to be in the spotlight, and despite the media training, he is as charismatic as a second coat of paint.

So when Miller, who's wife is Pence's press secretary, ostensibly puts a feather in the VP's ass ....

I dunno, he may have been more on the background, but he has overseen some important dossiers: Space Force, NASA, warp speed, and with him being VP and Prez of the Senate, he also gets a Natsec briefing.

Maybe, the guy has more in him than we now can give credit for. And maybe for the better. The wilder the surprise on Jan 6.

I would neither hope for it, nor discount it.
