You raised an excellent question because it's one that probably lurks uninvited into the recesses of our minds in view of the cloak and dagger theories that hang today like a fog over the D.C. Swamp.
I can't picture V.P. Pence, an upright man, being involved in any kind of nefarious palace coup that would culminate in President Trump being unseated and replaced by Pence. Not to be intentionally flip about it, the Vice-President is rather a Mr. Goody Two-Shoes with a strong evangelical background.
Reince Priebus was a lawyer out of Wisconsin who rose through Republican ranks to become chair of the national GOP party, then during the last presidential primary he forged a political and personal relationship with Trump...and now he sits at the right hand of the most powerful man in the world.
I doubt he would jeopardize his lofty position by being secretly disloyal to his boss. Would any of us do such a thing? I doubt it.
I'm not a Pollyanna, strange things happen in this world, and there certainly are cabals in existence right now to take President Trump down, but I don't believe he has any such untrustworthy personal staff members in his inner circle. He may have some that will prove to be incompetent over time, but "disloyal"...I think not.
Since we're all so emotionally invested in the President's success, it's easy to become a nervous wreck when we hear and read conspiracy theories. I cope with it and stay strong by humming a few bars of "Praise the Lord, but Keep Passing the Ammunition" !

From what I know, Pence is clean as wind driven snow & Rience is pragmatic but smart enough to know he will never get another shot like this & would be a fool to damage it.
Obviously he either misunderstood or the media got it backwards; Repubbies were questioning Franken about HIS mental health. He has been worrisome since he stopped making porno movies.
