I'm watching the video from Ft Drum. Even with many natural applause lines, Pence and his wife got only a polite even lukewarm reception. Polite applause only. No huahs, to cheers.
Nada.

Apperently he ended the speech with “the best is yet to come”.
Is that true?
Yes. And there were many other dogwhistles including comments like "Now more than ever, readiness is important." Stuff like that. To me, it seemed like he was trying to imply between the lines that they might be called to action immanently. Reception was definitely cool. I'd bet most of the people in that room think he's a traitor.
So if Trump's pep talk at the Ellipse is part of this, it must take great courage to play the role of traitor, when you're actually a patriot.
I'm reminded of an old anti-commie film I found on You-Tube of all places. It's worth watching honestly, "I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE FBI."
An undercover Fibbie joins CPUSA and plays the part so convincingly his own family disowns him.
But all is forgiven when he testifies in open court to everything he saw and recorded the Communists doing to subvert America.
You see, he was never a Commie. He was operating under deep cover all the while, even though it cost him those he loved best.
"YOU ARE WATCHING A MOVIE" ? ? ?

"the best days of the greatest nation on earth are to come" then a quote from the Pledge of Allegiance.
It was not inspirational and ended with The Liberty Bell march.
Personal note: Liberty Bell march is one of my favorites.
But for Boomers (I'm GenX!) it's the theme song to Money Python's Flying Circus -- a farce comedy program. Quite funny at times. Sometimes blasphemous. Usually risque. Always something completely different.
