Pence needed to take a cue from his very colorful Founding Father predecessor: Thomas Jefferson.
History records that beloved FF had the audacity to open up the votes and count only the votes for him - a self-interested counting that resulted in his being made President.
It was at a time when Jefferson truly was convinced the common man was getting trampled under the feet of the Federal Government
History records that at that time, the Democrat-Republican Party split into the Democrat Party (which still exists today) and the first Republican Party. That Republican Party has no continuity relationship with the present one, although it can be argued the present one has subsumed the character of the first one.
The point is: while might does not make right, and the end does not justify the means, there comes a time when one MUST take up usage of the tools available to be had, and do those things - however self-serving or distasteful it may appear - that are necessary to address the situation.
Pence appears to have blown his primary tools - and Americans have realized this.
