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’s campaign unveiled new T-shirts and baseball caps for sale featuring the phrase “Too Honest” in big red letters"

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.

I think congress taking action to clarify the role of VP in counting electoral votes as only ceremonial suggests Trump’s argument that Pence could have sent things back to the states in question had some weight.

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?

Yes. Two days earlier, to be precise.
“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.

A court order that violates the Bill of Rights is invalid.

There is that photo that some posters have posted on some of these threads. The picture has Biden talking to Pence, while Pence is looking away out the window.

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.

— Pence, 01/04/2021
The fact that Pence broke that promise flies in the face of his "Too Honest" slogan he is currently pimping.
