    Interesting how a Republican, who was disparaged by Trump, and Trump encouraged a mop to execute him, is seen to be stepping out forcefully and making a bold statement by supporting candidates who didn’t publicly advocate for his own (Pence’s) execution.

    As I recall Pence was chosen as vp to lock up the conservative religious/evangelical vote. Seemed to work pretty well.
    Also saved pence's career which was about to go in the dumpster.

    There’s more wild unicorns in America than conservative Republicans.

    He got NWO instead. I don’t have the flow chart handy, but I think they’re both on the same level as “puppy kicker.”

    No, he just spent 4 years being the flip flopping, former hillary supporting, cheating, lying, TV celeb, vulgar, chauvinistic, fake tanned buffoon's lapdog.

    I am more worried about how the game ends than I am how the 1st half went.

    He has clearly had an epiphany.

    I understand the political difference for you, but he is making the unpopular choice lately. (I say unpopular because all of our friends on the left like to tell me how Trump owns the party and how no one has the guts to stand against him).

    Pence won't win an election I assume.
    But he is helping some good people win theirs.He is making some cracks develop.

    By far his biggest failure in office. He hired a lot of duds. Trump had very few people on his side. Pence was one that surprised many. The GOP would do anything to rid themselves of Trump. Whether you like him or not, he is giving them a run for their money while battling the dems/media at the same time.

    He scares me because I think he wants a theocracy here. My mistake I thought people who wanted theocracy actually believed in god and didn’t use it to control the sheep.

    After looking at the video of the Capitol building on January 6th, I'd say he had plenty of people on his side.

    He has no other choice. The Trumpers hate him no matter what because just one time he did the right thing. It's not an epiphany, it's just political expediency. He was making calculated choices when he was Trump's lapdog and he's making calculated choices now.

    That's true at this point and maybe was the whole time. But I'm also willing to give him some credit for doing the right thing when he did. IMO and like I think you're saying, the hard core Trump supporters don't now hate Pence because he is establishment or supports globalism or whatever else they want to say about him. Imagine if on January 6th Pence would have somberly walked up there before throwing on a MAGA hat and declaring that Trump won. It would have been a much worse day for our country, but Pence would have been a hero in their eyes for coming through. I know what he did was to meet a pretty low bar, but there's no doubt in my mind that some other people would have decidedly differently in his position.

    Pence was obviously just a godless ANTIFA woke crisis actor Soros never Trumper deep state plant. A cunning infidel who lay in wait in his VP office, like a snake in the grass, waiting to disrupt the one god’s vision for our divinely anointed holy lord emperor: Donald J. Trump.

    If he wasn’t pro-End of Days, Pence would make a good D. He effectively portrays their general strategy here.

    Opening salvo: Your previous BFF/new death sentencer sets you up to end America, hypes a “wild” rally, speechifies at said rally again calling you out by name to end America, sends the crazy mob to you, they bring along a gallows, chant en masse for your death, attack the building and send your own office literally running in terror, old BFF tells aides this is going perfectly, refuses to call off the rabid dogs, then spends the rest of time confirming you are a traitor and enemy that deserves whatever the nuttiest nut can dream up.

    Devastating “direct” counter-attack: after only about a year and a half, endorses a candidate no one knows who is running against another candidate no one knows that his attacker endorsed, said endorsement being about three sentences and in reality an attack on yet a different guy, not either of the endorsees here. Not a syllable about the attacker or the reason for the attack (although the attacker prominently featured “election integrity” in his endorsement of the Qandidate) but a lot of hyperbole about “reckless” B/H agenda, scary Mexicans, phony CRT fear porn, etc. IOW, the exact same platform the attacker cooked up over the years, with the passive omission of your own treason.

    Man, talk about an epic slug-fest!! What could possibly be next?? Dream hypo: after Trump signs a hit contract live on Truth Social (once they get a teenager to code that capability) to have Pence shredded by wild boars during HT of the SuperBowl, Pence fires back with a brutal attack on Kaepernick, printed on standard paper size fliers in 8 point font and posted on 35% of the telephone poles in Kansas City (Kansas; the Missouri version has an insane number of telephone poles.)

    If Pence keeps up this courageous fight, he may still yet be admitted to the D club. He is showing some true D backbone for sure.

    Nah, Pence is still a Christian nationalist who wants to outlaw abortion at the federal level.
