I am beginning to think that the "Pence is doomed/Pence has no shot" narrative might be a little exaggerated.
That being said he would need someone else to also run, attack Trump 24/7 and basically nuke each other or Trump to not run.
As to the general election it depends on the economic and the popularity of Biden as President, but I can more easily see Pence winning a general election than Trump at this stage.
It is so easy to forget that most Republican politicians are craven opportunists and the media influence types aren't much better, basically chasing ratings and money.
I am reminded of a quote by George Will. "The only thing similar to the modern Republican Party is the Communist Party in the 1930's. They were the biggest proponents of opposing fascism until the Non-Aggression Pact between Stalin and Hitler, at which point they turned on a dime and became isolationists overnight. This continued until June 22, 1941 when instantly they were the biggest opponents of Fascism again".
