This what happens when, for four years, you sit on your thumbs as VEEP and don’t learn a thing about your Constitutional duties. Instead, he got the glory without doing a thing. Now, with his entitlement thinking he wants the presidency handed to him. Did this habit of entitlement cause him to sit back in the Senate and let the kickbacks line his pocket? Does Trump know something about Pence that could be costly?
He was deep state plant from day 1. His plan was to appear to be loyal to Trump so he would be the next "MAGA" candidate if it came to that after which he would basically return Washington to business as usual. They saw right away that Trump was a bigger threat than they though. They didn't anticipate that Trump would go stronger so they had to go all out on the steal. The couldn't afford to have it seriously questioned by congress so the fake "insurrection" to stop the debate. It was an added benefit that Pence got exposed.
