Donald Trump‘s Christian Conservative running mate Mike Pence has had a wrenching few days waiting and watching and disavowing Trump’s sex-ridden audio from 2005.

On Sunday night there were rumors swirling that Pence may walk off the ticket.

During the debate, Trump blatantly threw Pence under the bus on how best to deal with U.S. strategy in Syria. Pence, who was a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said the nation should seriously consider using air strikes against President Bashar Asaad‘s regime.

Trump flat out disagreed. (RELATED: Trump Openly Disagrees With Pence On Stage)

Pence didn’t tweet during the entire debate.

The Atlantic‘s editor-at-large Steve Clemons came out with this explosive rumor during the debate.

Despite the rumors, Pence broke his Twitter silence post debate.

WaPo‘s Philip Rucker revealed this on Saturday.

According to the IndyStar, Pence is “sticking with Trump in public” but “in private he is holding his options open.” Sources told the newspaper that Pence is “feeling low and concerned but soldiering on.”

[dcquiz] Pence’s reaction to Trump’s Access Hollywood hot mic commentary was as follows:

“As a husband and father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump the eleven-year-old video released yesterday,” he said in a statement. “I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people. We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night.”
