As Donald Trump was being arraigned in Washington on yet another round of criminal charges, his running mate-turned-rival Mike Pence hurried to capitalize on the news.
Pence’s campaign unveiled new T-shirts and baseball caps for sale featuring the phrase “Too Honest” in big red letters — a reference to an episode in the indictment in which the former president called Pence to berate him over his refusal to go along with Trump’s scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
“You’re too honest,” Trump allegedly scoffed at his second-in-command on New Year’s Day.
Pence’s decision to seize on the words marks a notable change in tone for a usually cautious candidate who has struggled to break through in a primary dominated by his former boss. Since the release of the indictment in which he plays a central role, Pence has criticized Trump more aggressively, casting himself as the person who stood up to Trump, averting catastrophe.
Pence’s response might seem like the expected reaction of a man who had to flee for his life on Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob of Trump’s supporters violently stormed the Capitol building, clashing with police and disrupting the joint session of Congress over which Pence was presiding. Trump had convinced legions of his followers that Pence had the unilateral power to undo the election, and Pence, his staff and family spent hours in hiding in a Senate loading dock as rioters chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” outside. …

Pence’s chances?
Absolutely, positively zero.
Zip.
Nada.
No effing way.
Fat chance.
Suicide level.
Had Pence not removed his cojones, he might have had a chance.
I would never vote for Pence.
He’s a bigger fake than Romney.
pence just needs to name liz cheney as his vp
that will put him over the top
Lied about having classified documents in his possession. Lied, and then admitted to lying about not having the authority to reject electors. Lied about President Trump for his own political gain.
The riot is what Pelosi and dems needed to attack Republicans and Trump. Trump’s last stand was the legitimate challenge process that has been used before. The riot gave cover to short circuit that process.
Wasn’t it only days earlier Pence said in a speech there were irregularities and they would look at all the evidence on J6?
I tell myself Democrats just exploited covid fears and hyped antitrump fervor enough to generate slight margins in key states but some of their actions suggest more was going on than exploiting fear. War gaming a post election riot at the capitol? Pelosi rejecting national guard? The velvet rope line “insurrectionists” invited in by capitol police? And now we have indictments arguing over whether Trump was calling for peace (reason people read of his tweets) or lying in his tweet claiming they were peaceful but weren’t (TDS).
The cohesiveness of the republic is in deep trouble if questions about election integrity taken to the proper constitutional forum for final arbitration of a presidential election is grounds for criminal prosecution.
Trump has made unforced errors to be sure but the American people, not a Democrat cabal, deserve to decide whether he should be a candidate for POTUS and be the 47th POTUS.
Can Trump even respond to any Pence statements/attacks? Would that not violate his court order to not intimidate or contact witnesses?
He going to break through though , piling on Trump , who made everyones lives better right up until WuFlu
Stinking P.O.S.
Yes. Two days earlier, to be precise.
Wasn’t it only days earlier Pence said in a speech there were irregularities and they would look at all the evidence on J6? …
“I know we all have got our doubts about the last election. I want to assure you that I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. I promise you, come this Wednesday, we will have our day in Congress!”With Trump, promises kept; with Pence, promises broken, shattered even.
He misspelled Judas
Race Bannon will not be POTUS.
A court order that violates the Bill of Rights is invalid.
Penceing a loaf?
I am imagining what Biden is telling him - "C'mon Mike, don't worry. You did us a solid here. Stick with us, we'll take care of you. It's no joke."
How bad are these Republican backstabbers and posers?
Pence used to be Trump’s VP! This says it all!
Even those drooling in cups can probably figure this out.
“I know we all have got our doubts about the last election. I want to assure you that I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. I promise you, come this Wednesday, we will have our day in Congress!”The fact that Pence broke that promise flies in the face of his "Too Honest" slogan he is currently pimping.
