Pence wants Republicans to "run as Republicans"

Original Article

Posted By: WhamDBambam, 4/16/2023 9:20:23 AM

Mike Pompeo wisely opted out of the 2024 presidential primary this week, but if you were expecting Mike Pence to follow suit, you’re likely going to be disappointed. The former Veep showed up at an RNC donor summit in Tennessee last night and while he didn’t make an official announcement, he was going after the other primary contenders (including his former boss) and sounding very much like he will soon throw his hat in the ring.

Comments:

At this point, he's becoming a walking meme for the GOPe.

We have a bunch of "Republicans" now Mike! Such as Mitch McConnell, Cornyn, Graham, etc., and my state's (and yours too, Mike) Todd Young. Big spenders, back bone-less wonders. No thanks, Mike . . . just go away!

Don't agree with all the vitriol being thrown at Pence. He is a solid and decent man who served Trump faithfully and well for four years. Moreover, he did betray Trump in any way - at no point did he promise to reject those electors only to go back on his pledge. Cries of "Judas!" and "Back stabber!" are unjustified. That said, I do think that as president Pence might too easily slide into the George W. mode (that religious freedom thing in Indiana still sticks in my craw). I will support him if he is nominated, but wouldn't hold out much hope for major change.

# 15, kindly explain how Pence's acceptance of those electoral slates constituted a violation of his vice-presidential oath. You may recall that.he concluded that he had no authority to reject the slates, and that the law concerning the matter (the 1887 hodgepodge) was a real muddle. Pence acted in accordance with what he believed to be legal authority. Plainly, he took his oath seriously. Gut feelings or "knowing" the results were suspect was irrelevant to the execution of his duty as he saw it.

#17, it violated Pence’s oath to defend and protect the Constitution and to faithfully serve the American public. That “muddled” act could indeed have been used by the Vice President to take a step back and let states try to resolve their electoral issues. That’s what it was for. In fact, that act that didn’t say what we all thought it said was so weak, confusing and insignificant that Congress put all their effort into changing it ASAP. If that isn’t what it was for, why change it? Mike Pence is a traitor of the highest order and deliberately and with malice stabbed President Trump in the back.

Define, "Republican." All I can remember about the "Republican Party" is that it favored lower taxes and elimination of trade barriers. Which translated to fewer jobs for Americans and more income for those in the highest economic strata. Those welfare of the hoi polloi never counted for anything in that Republican Party. By the way, somebody really ought to tell Pence that his "Republican Party" is dead and gone.

This is going to be great! Trump will rollover Pence like a road flattening machine. Pence, the nonentity with zero charisma, and nothing to offer, except appointing rino's, will be a disaster at Republican debates. Remember how frightened Pence was, when surrounded by Trump supporters. Whined his wife and daughter were with him. I am sure they were standing in front of him.

Mike Pence has made a career of projecting the image of a righteous, pedantic fuddy-duddy. They scare me because of their inauthenticity. They do this because they believe it will be useful to them.

Re #17, he concluded wrong. If he was muddled on the law he had no business being vice president, let alone president. Most here know more about the law than he did on that crucial day. He was expected to follow the law. He did not. He failed. And then he turned on President Trump, to whom he was never loyal. The election was about law, not loyalty. Pence failed.

# 24, everybody and his brother is an outhouse lawyer. And # 19, the changes to that 1887 law were initiated after the fact. Pence had to work with what he had. And please recall that those electoral slates were already certified by the respective states. There were no "issues" as you describe it. Pence did his duty as he saw it. Whether or not he was mistaken (see my reply to # 24) should not lead anyone to question his patriotism. Whether or not he is presidential material (and I am NOT inclined to support him) will be determined by the voters in the primaries.

Long before the Department of Homeland Security attempted to justify the formal recognition of a "Disinformation Czar" to monitor Americans' speech or news broke that the State Department had been using a foreign organization called the Global Disinformation Index to censor conservative voices here at home, it was clear that the war for free speech had begun. For years, conservative websites struggled to survive financially as shadowbans and stealth blacklisting eliminated advertising revenues and throttled user engagement.

In 2019, Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman admitted while being questioned by the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday that he had leaked information to an anti-Trump whistleblower at the center of the Democrats’ partisan impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump. Vindman attempted to provide talking points to Trump prior to his “infamous” Ukraine phone call and then leaked a mischaracterization of the call afterward. Vindman was directly confronted by California Rep. Devin Nunes. Nunes asked: “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, did you discuss the July 25 phone call with anyone outside the White House on July 25 or the 26, and if so, with whom?” “Yes. I did,” Vindman responded.

"The information was leaked for [a purpose], to prepare the U.S. public for the crash landing that's going to take place with respect to U.S. foreign policy," he said.

The Czech novelist Milan Kundera published The Joke, his first novel, in 1967. It traces the fortunes of Ludvik, a young student, after his politically correct girlfriend shows the Communist authorities a postcard he had written to her as a joke: “Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky! Ludvik.” As a result of this whimsy, Ludvik finds himself expelled from the Communist Party, the university, and is eventually conscripted to work in the mines. That’s the way things are in totalitarian societies. No jokes allowed, especially not jokes told at the expense of the regime.

Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode. Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency and destroying the rule of law in the process? Or all that and more? Now with the election of Joe Biden, what had been a fast-tracked decline has accelerated at such an astonishing rate we can scarcely recognize our country.
