I've argued previously that this was a win-win for Pence. God help us all if he's running the show. As much as I despise the idea of trump-as-president, I've warned my friends and family to not be too loud with the "impeach trump" calls.

I wonder if it matters today though. In Nixon's day there was still a such thing as a Republican statesman and Republican embarrassment and dignity. Those things are in retreat at the moment as party continues to erode the state. Paul Ryan couldn't even denounce Russian interference in the election, and Mitch McConnell seemed to enjoy the whole thing.
