Since he just fired the Secretary of State, how long before he fires Mike Pence?

He probably thinks he has the authority?

I cannot remember a Secretary of State getting fired in such a humiliating way? I cannot ever remember a Secretary of State ever getting fired at all??

One would think that in a civilized country, a Secretary of State would be asked to resign? Not fired by Tweeter.

Pence probably does not feel that secure?

Trump could decide to run with a different Veep candidate in 2020; FDR had a few different VPs during his 3 and a bit terms.

...Pence appears to be ever so quietly waiting for DTs to drop dead or be impeached. I think he feels secure. DTs -- whatever he knows or doesn't know about his ability to fire his own veep -- never seems to get set off by anything the quiet Pence says or does. Shhhh.
