I thought that Pence deserved all the credit for saving the country , there are unsung heroes that deserve some credit, Chris Liddell is one of them , without his work we wouldn’t have a country either, the planning and execution of the transition from one administration to the next takes usually more than a year and the refusal of some departments to cooperate made this almost impossible.
