Well, he leveraged himself very early with the Ryan Coup Plot. We see the end of it play out with Ryan on FOX. But looking closely Pence not Pence is in play. He has had a stand in double for a long while. He was put out front and leveraged with a fake scamdemic role that worked out nicely. The Media NEVER touched Pence, not once. So now we know RYAN kept the media OFF pence the whole time. So, I think his expriation date is long past due and POTUS has given the signal. Alot of doubles had to be used, its the only way. We HAVE To remain to appear STRONG in the face of CHINA, NO Matter What. SO thats a main reason. Next reason is you get EXACTLY what you expect from the person.  edit: The most important thing you got from Pence NOT Pence, is that Paul Ryan At FOX News DID NOT get the INTEL he wanted, he was fooled. He was a Part of FOX Playing their card the whole time affording nicey , nicey coverage for Pence and POTUS they KNEW THE WHOLE TIME they were going to Burry the KNIFE ! Its remarkable.
