You are on your way to the hospital for out-patient cancer therapy and a car T-bones you at an intersection, resulting in a severed artery in your neck. When the ambulance rolls in to the hospital, the medicos will turn immediately to the gushing artery as it poses an imminent risk to your life. The cancer, certainly dangerous in its own right, will be dealt with only once the bleeding has been staunched and you can focus solely on the unique danger it poses.

Makes sense to me. We get rid of Trump first and then deal with Father Pence.
