Politico reported that Mike Pence has shifted from defending Trump to complimenting the governors over their handling of the covid-19 crisis. Lindsey Graham is asking for a briefing as to what the President knew about Russia, the Taliban and alleged bounty payments.
One has to wonder, particular in Pense's case, whether Trump's tanking poll numbers are a factor in their apparent slight change of heart. If they are seeing the writing on the wall, they may be calculating that the time has come to abandon Trump's ship of state.
Trump's Titanic administration has plowed through one iceberg after another; but then it hit the tiny corona virus and has begun taking on water. As we approach the November watershed, we may well see more of Trump's GOP enablers and administration cronies stop bailing and start swimming away before they are taken down in the undertow as Trump's Titanic sinks under the weight of its most colossal screw-up yet.
