Pence's effusive praise of Donald Trump at CPAC yesterday?

Did anyone else find it a little surprising?

After Trump and General Flynn supposedly kept him out of the loop about the conversation with the Russian ambassador, before they had taken office, and "caused" Pence to lie to the American people on nationwide TV, one might think his "praise" might be a little more guarded?

He seemed to have recovered very quickly from the stab in the back?

One might wonder just how much Pence may have known about the "Russian connection"? Did he know all along, but once it was discovered, there had to be a scapegoat? And General Flynn just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time?

It seemed a little peculiar to me?

just the palpable animosity between he and prezident bannon tells me something of who knew what when and how the inner circle fight for power is nasty and vicious with these evil clowns. Preemy has been around a long time, with his allies in place..he has known more than even the triumvirates-in-chiefs knew about the people in the admin, who could be trusted, who couldn't. I think.

IMO the main Repub. party hacked DNC for a couple years, hacked all the emails, voicemails its always been the way their party campaigns. fox & their hacker news buddies have always They knew what kind of 'character' trump has, his character didn't matter to voters. What mattered was he connected & generated votes for Republicans.

The CPAC is a RW group, its not a government body.

Pence will continue to do his job, and if/when trump and other Republicans are caught because of crimes (like Flynn was) they'll be replaced. Pence will be President & speaker will be VP.

Flynn should be charged with crimes or given immunity so he will turn on the others. It's been over a year now and Russia has already killed off several people in on the Russian collusion.
