Dear @CNN & Jeff Zucker, I want to watch nothing but this “Trump, Pelosi and Schumer” multiple car wreck video on a loop all day. And I need close-ups of Pence’s face. Over and over. Please, please, please.

This photo was really from the Trump-Pelosi-Schumer fight today. Can someone please check to see if Mike Pence is actually still alive or is this a “Weekend at Bernies” type scenario where they just prop up Pence at meetings. pic.twitter.com/EX1qJvP5ft
