    Some of the most obsequious praise for Trump feels to me like a form of idolatry. https://amp.thedailybeast.com/my-theory-on-why-mike-pence-kisses-donald-trumps-uh-ring-so-fulsomely#click=https://t.co/j7cQ6BfEIU …pic.twitter.com/xwz0IvRRiE

        Pence sounds very cultish and cartoonish at the same time.

        I normally find him pretty likable. But the lavish praise is...something.

        It’s weird man. I’m fine with him loving Jesus, but idolatry is spot on. It’s unseemly for someone in his position.

        The @TheAtlantic's recent article talks about the 'Servant Leadership' perspective - Pence's is just around you said, borderline idolatry.

        Matt, if Trump sees this he’s going to be furious you used a photo where you can see a bald spot. Also, where’s the damn Christmas suit? I’ve been waiting!

        The possibility that your theory might be correct scares the hell out of me.

        “Perhaps Pence is making the ultimate sacrifice (his dignity!) in order to keep Trump’s agenda from veering into the fever swamps of nationalism.”

        Funny that CNN felt the need to define "sycophant" on air after someone joked about it...How illiterate is our country?

        You can pick up your Haldol dose at the CVS. CNN's reporting shows Trump was heavily involved this time around (vs. during healthcare).

        It's like the David (Pence) to Saul (Trump) analogy, where David respected Saul to honor God, but torqued up too far. Defeats the purpose.

        Still not good enough for Donald, because Pence was clearly qualifying this by saying “To me”
