Mike Pence quietly lays the groundwork for a post-Trump future
Semafor ^

Posted on 09/27/2024 5:24:02 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Mike Pence stuck his head up this week to take a whack at Trumpism, urging Republicans to reject “protectionist tariffs” and “isolationism” while “unashamedly” recommitting to anti-abortion positions.

It’s a sign of what he’s up to behind the scenes as well.

(snip)

The former vice president’s Wall Street Journal op-ed taking veiled shots at Trump’s policy priorities is just a hint of what Pence is thinking as he waits for the 2024 election to play out. But the big question for Pence is: Is there still a place for him in today’s GOP?

The answer isn’t even clear to his fans: Pence doesn’t fit into “the Republican party of today,” said Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney. “The Republican Party of tomorrow may be a different matter.”

Good luck with that.

The Pence/Romney/Bush types aren't going away. They're just slinking back into the shadows where they can scheme and hope to wrest back control.

Mike who???? Oh...that “Mike”.
IF that “Mike” had a modicum of intelligence, he’d quietly drift off into the night never to be heard from again.

His post-Trump future should be, “Do you want fries with that?”

At Waterloo, the French force was multi national. At one point, whole Prussian regiments walked off to the enemy side. The French observed:

“Once a blackguard ...always a blackguard.”

The Pence/Romney/Bush types aren't going away.

They’re getting fitted with leashes so as to be lead around by their new NPR masters.

Pence is already on the ash heap of history.

If there is any post Trump future it will likely be with Vance not Pence. Vance will have to prove himself loyal and with the cause of MAGA in the four year term of President Trump but that is hopefully where the future lies.

Pence’s backdoor claim to fame in the GOP is equivalent to Kamala’s servicing of Willie Brown. His ‘use by’ date is expired and unless he can find some coat tails to jump on as Kamala did in 2020, he should consider fading away with dignity.

I would vote for a democrat before I would vote for Pence after what he tried to do to Trump

God separated the nations in Genesis 10. Globalism is the satanic abrogation of the nations. Protecting home industries is what makes countries great. No nation ever became great by exporting vital industries. For globalism to succeed, nations must be dependent and weak. Why? A nation too powerful can resist the Globalists (Satanic cabal at the top). MAGA is the enemy of globalists and their toadies like Pence.

Judas pence has already shown us who he is. I guess he’s already burned thru his 30 pieces of silver and is looking to get another paying gig

yes indeed, or better yet, leave that line on the ballot blank. They do not deserve support simply because they are slightly less repulsive than the other guy.

“isolationism”

The European Union is a far greater threat to American freedom than Putin.

Mike pensive is irrelevant.
He proved that January 6, 2021 when he ditched out of a perfectly good country.
