Any love for Mike Pence?

His own man? Mike Pence tries to separate himself from Donald Trump as both eye 2024

The former vice president is seeking his own political identity in the shadow of ex-president Donald Trump, as both consider 2024 White House runs.

Mike Pence looks like he will run against Trump, and is critical of Trump for expecting him to single handedly overturn the election and upset Trump has praised Putin in the past.

I do feel bad for Mike, after all, if he had tried to overturn the election it would not have worked and likely become a far bigger fiasco for the GOP. But for this he has been demonized. As for him being critical of Trump praising Putin at various times, no arguments there.

Trouble is, Mike has zero charisma and is identified more with the establishment as where Trump is viewed as an outsider ready to fight the establishment. These are big obstacles to overcome. Pence may not be able to do anything about the charisma issue, but he can begin to blast away at Trump for not building the wall like he promised, failing to overturn Obamacare with a full GOP Congress, and promising to lock up Hillary with no success. And lastly, he could blast away at Trump for his spending. What I do know is that unless Mike is able to connect with the anti-establishment using these types of tactics, he had no chance.

I'm guessing he has zero support here based upon what I've seen thus far.

Am I right?

What I do know is that perhaps Trump was the only candidate who could have beaten Hillary in 2016, but today with the country the way it is in such bad shape, I feel like Trump may be the only candidate who might not be able to beat Biden based on all the Trump hate successfully generated over the years by the Left. Virtually anyone else could easily beat Diaper Joe.

Mike Pence is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

He will be condemned for not supporting Trump and condemned for the years he did support Trump

Pence was his VP.

He is not a never Trumpster, yet he is critical of him.

I like that.

He should have thought of that before he sucked up to trump.

We like elected officials who fight against voter fraud. Pence shouldn't bother running again for any elected office.

Speaking for myself, no, I wouldn't spit on him to put him out if he was on fire. BUT... I can say the same for Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Lady Lindsey, and pretty much every other POS that turned on Trump after that stolen election.
You see, I supported Trump in 2016 once he had the nomination but a lot of what he did in that first year caused me some cringeworthy moments. IOW, I'm not part of a cult of personality (few are) but after what he went through for 4 years? He DESERVES the support of all Americans who give a damn about this country's survival. Pence will never beat Trump in a primary in any red state unless we have the same kind of felonious activities in '24. If THAT HAPPENS, look for all hell to break loose.

LOL Pence?

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like the poster is implying Republicans would commit "felonies" to give Pence a GOP primary victory?

The cult turned against Pence when Pence pretended to grow a spine.

 

[playtime]

no.

 

[Missourian]

I wouldn't have supported him for President before Trump... and I don't support him after.

The second coming of Mitt Romney... and just as lame as the first coming.

 

[Rogue AI]

Pence lacks the personality and natural charisma. I'd rather see Cruz or DeSantis as the nominee.

 

[hjmick]

Any love for Pence?

No. Absolutely none. Which is still more than I have for Trump.

For all the attention paid to the RINO orange man child, everyone seemed to forget just how very far right Pence is... too far right for a moderate such as myself.

If Pence is the nominee--I won't vote for him..

This "cult" never liked PENCE-----

He reminds me of sugary gay conman preacher----------they think they can "talk" and you won't question the logic in it. I've never seen as anything but...

He is an establishment pol-----pushed on Trump because his loyalty was to himself and the swamp..not Trump.

He and Graham should come out the closets..and stop playing their games.

 

[skye]

None.

No love for Pence at all.

How in the world does he think he has the slightest chance?

You guys always say that. I didn’t see you guys bashing Pence until he turned on Trump.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. None.
2. What a phony baloney.
3. Stiff Mike, should just fade away.
4. If he is a glutton for punishment bring it on Mikie!
5. He won't last past a debate.
