Looking for the exits

At Trump’s campaign, many aides are coming to grips with the reality of a loss. But at campaign headquarters on Sunday, staffers were met with walls covered in print-outs of Trump tweets and a doctored newspaper front page encouraging them to fight on — an idea that came from the highest ranks of the Trump campaign, according to a person familiar with the episode.

Others, like Vice President Mike Pence, have simply gone dark, raising eyebrows among Trump allies.

[...]

“Where the hell is Mike Pence?” a senior Trump campaign official wrote in a text message Sunday afternoon, noting the vice president has been missing-in-action save for a single tweet on Nov. 5 calling for “every legal vote” to be counted.

Mike Pence would like to still have a career.
As of Sunday, however, Trump’s legal team was still struggling to mount a legal offensive backed by tangible evidence of voter fraud. And some of those closest to Trump, including Melania Trump and Kushner, have been suggesting he look for an eventual off ramp.
Melania and Jared would like to go back to New York without too many wounds.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
