Mike Pence: Populism is a Pathway to ‘Defeat for the Republican Party’
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 6, 2023 | Cassandra McDonald

Former Vice President Mike Pence has claimed populism is a pathway to “defeat for the Republican Party.” Former President Donald Trump, the current 2024 GOP frontrunner, is known for his populist positions, which brought him support from many disenfranchised leftists and independents.

Pence made the comments during a Wednesday appearance on “America’s Newsroom” on Fox News.

“Well, look, you look at this Republican field, whether it’s my former running mate or some of his imitators, and there is a push in this Republican primary to to move us away from our party’s historic commitment to American leadership on the world stage, to a commitment to fiscal responsibility and reform in the face of a massive national debt crisis,” Pence began.

Pence continued, “You know, I came to this party, during the Reagan years, and and I really believe not only the pathway to victory for the Republican Party in the fall of 24, but the way we restore security and prosperity for the American people is to deliver a standard bearer and an agenda that’s built on that commonsense conservative agenda that has always delivered greater security and prosperity for the American people.”

“I think it’s a real choice in the party between whether we stay on the path of the traditional conservative agenda that’s defined this movement for the last 50 years and really is grounded in American ideals or whether we are going to follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles,” the longshot candidate added.

Pence concluded, “I really believe that’s a pathway not only to defeat for the Republican Party but ultimately it is the pathway to disappointment and decline for our party and for our country.”

“Pence rails against Trump’s ‘siren song of populism’”

AGAIN???

populism is nothing more and nothing less than the power of the people, AND it’s the opposite of, and the anathema of, the fascist deep state uniparty ...

anyone who “rails” against populism is signaling to the world that they’re a dyed in the wool uniparty fascist deep stater ...

[BTW, i don’t think Pence would come up on his own with the idea of railing against populism: this is something his handlers have ordered him to do ... somehow or other, his handlers think that trying to label Trump as a populist would hurt Trump ... whereas, anyone paying attention already KNOWS Trump is a populist and LOVES it!]

That’s funny. He is saying the sub rosa part out loud.

To anyone with a mind and a vocabulary, populism is “the people vs the elite”, or “the grassroots vs the country club”, or “the working man vs the jet-set”.

Why would this dumb sumbitch want to admit that he’s an “elite, country club, jet-setter”? No wonder he’s at 1%.

Fantastic! Whatever it takes to defeat Pence’s Uniparty (R).


My thoughts, as well :)

Pence calls his old maid wife, Mother. Sounds like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock mystery.

I thought Pence is on some of the Epstein Island lists? Having some geriatric sugar mamma and going off road to "have Fun" with a few underage girls would be the norm for a lifelong politician.

Many people on FR thought of him as a great Christian as he would only keep private company with his wife. That was probably due to him being able to get free jet rides to a secluded island where he could go at it with a few children. With or without his old wife's approval. This would allow him to wear the mantle of smug Christianity in public and then just be another politician when the cameras are off.

Pence is actually Satanic and evil, but I repeat myself.

I get the exact same vibe from him When I see his picture I think of a schoolyard, a London Fog raincoat and black socks.

Populism is what this country was based on! It is called the Constitution, By the People, For the People..He would have made a great English supporter in 1775.

Mike Pence has claimed populism is a pathway to “defeat for the Republican Party.”

That’s the general idea.

How about a Benedict Pence Skeletor Colter ticket.
That would run away with the Hamptons.

Pence is trying to take credit for all the good things Trump did during his Presidency. At the same time, he is saying Trump did nothing good and he and his supporter’s are evil and their policy positions are harmful to the nation.

Pence is a turn-coat through and through. He is either being paid to betray conservatives, or he has never actually been a conservative, but was pretending to be one in order to move the nation further to the left. Neither will get him votes.

Why IS he running for President? It is mathematically impossible for him to win without the support of Trump voters. I’ll not vote for him. I’ll sit at home or write in Trump if Pence is the nominee.
