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

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.”

“protectionist tariffs”

I advocate that the money to run the FedGov, except the military (which should be funded by the states) be entirely dependent upon Tariffs and Sales Tax. No income tax, no property tax, only Sales Taxes and Tariffs.

Then watch how fast the Deep State quits calling them “protectionist”.........

I would not vote for Pence or Romney if they were the only ones on the ballot.

Pence has no future in any party after he proved himself to be a uni-party stooge. Most people have no use for republican weaklings like pence. He should team up with dickhead Cheney and lizard Cheney and form a new party called the Profit Off War Party. Their slogan is, to hell with America, we bow down to the democrats so we can profit off war.
