Mike Pences awkward and telling response to whether the U.S. is morally superior to Russia

If you would like to see a man struggle, witness Vice President Pence:

Pence was asked on "Face the Nation" to account for President Trump having likened Vladimir Putin's alleged killing of political opponents to the United States'. Trump had told Bill O'Reilly: "What, you think our country's so innocent?"

CBS's John Dickerson asked Pence, "Do you agree?" And Pence had to draw a long, pronounced breath. Then, asked four times whether the United States is "morally superior" to Russia, Pence avoided and danced around the question before relenting (kind of):
DICKERSON: Do you think America is morally superior to Russia?

PENCE: What — what you have in this new president is someone who is willing to, and is, in fact, engaging the world, including Russia, and saying, where can we find common interests that will advance the security of the American people, the peace and prosperity of the world? And he is determined to come at that in a new and renewed way.

He should be ashamed of himself. He knows Trump is insane and yet he enables him.

Like trying to nail jello to a tree. And what is he talking about reaching out to world leaders? I guess if you consider pissing off world leaders as reaching out to them it makes sense.

Is that they have spent time with him and know how off the rails he is. Kelly Anne, Reince, Pence and all the rest have been behind the scenes and know what they are dealing with. Out of their own quest for power and their greed, they are allowing tRump to run roughshod over the Constitution and put all of us in jeopardy.

It is well past time to call an end to this charade. But who will do it that has the authority to save us from the madman? In the past two or three days there have been open calls for impeachment. How much more do we have to see before someone does the right thing??
