Over at The National Interest, Jacob Helibrunn has a good piece on the possibility of Trump dumping Vice President Mike Pence.

Here’s the last paragraph of the article:

The cold, hard fact is that Trump has never stopped being the chaos president. The notion that he won’t seek to upend his campaign now that his poll numbers are badly sagging seems improbable. But Pence, too, may be calculating his personal odds. Over the past four years, he has served Trump with canine fealty. But if he reckons that Trump is doomed to lose badly in 2020, he might prefer not to be on the ticket. He could portray himself as a martyr who had been casually given the heave-ho by Trump and remains the only true representative of the conservative faith.
