"He trumpets his conservative Christianity and avoids supping alone with any woman other than his wife, then turns around and steadfastly enables an avowed groper with a bulging record of profanely sexual comments.

He publishes a testimonial, “Confessions of a Negative Campaigner,” in which he invokes Jesus while vowing never to repeat such political ugliness in the future, then turns around and collaborates with a politician whose ugliness knows no limit.

No wonder he wants and expects a reward as lavish as the White House itself: He sold his soul. But I don’t think he studied the contract closely enough and thought the whole thing through.

There’s no political afterlife in this equation, just the loopy, mortifying limbo in which he and so many of Trump’s other acolytes dwell."

7. FIFY

Pence will not be able to distance himself from Manafort

2. The article doesn't mention that Pence lied about Flynn

and Mueller knows it so he may not be around in 2020 either. That's what happens when you "sell your soul to the devil". Pence needs to add a new word to his vocabulary...Karma.

He is going down with the ship.
