Former Vice President Mike Pence cast the 2024 election as a fight for the future of conservatism and called on fellow Republicans to reject the “siren song of populism” championed by former President Donald Trump and his followers.
“Should the new populism of the right seize and guide our party, the Republican Party we’ve long known will cease to exist and the fate of American freedom would be in doubt,” Pence said in what his campaign plugged as a major speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College Wednesday afternoon. […]
Pence linked the right’s populism — promoting a hard focus on ordinary people’s complaints about big government and so-called elites — to progressivism on the left as “fellow travelers on the same road to ruin.” […]
“When Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, he promised to govern as a conservative. And together we did. But it’s important for Republicans to know that he and his imitators on this Republican primary make no such promise today,” Pence said. “The truth is Donald Trump, along with his imitators, often sound like an echo of the progressives they seek to replace.” …

Sounds more and more like McCain.
Never put a Senator in the Presidency ever again.
Look Pence, we are all too listless to listen to you.
Who?
And before the 118th Congressional session began on January 3, 2023, the Democrats shoved through an amendment attached to an appropriations Bill in December 2022, to ensure that no future V.P. can question the counting of electors.
Radio talk show host Mike Pence would have had no political career at all if it wasn’t for populism.
So “America First” is now “populism”. FU Pence.
“Siren song of a Cowardly Republican”
You got your 30 pieces of silver Mike, now go away.
Pence has made the solemn and studied decision to run on an unpopularism platform.
Good luck with that, Mikey.

There, fixed it for ya.
Does that amendment legally supersede Article II, Section I, paragraph 3?
Pompous Pence is a deep State plant.
Especially in a choice between that and vinegar.
“Populism” == Nobody likes him except the people.
He has yet to come to terms with the current reality.
It's sad, really. Imagine working toward a goal all your life. There is no way to start over. Yet your goal is now unobtainable. The rules have changed forever. Pence lives in the past, hoping his dead party comes back to life. Each day Pence gets up and puts on his "chamber of commerce" country club suit, and combs his "chamber of commerce" country club haircut. But he soon finds that he's all dressed up with no place to go.
Pence Of Schiff
“siren song of populism”
It’s the wealth sovereigns running our government that our ruining our country.
Wealth sovereigns must be prohibited from government and politics to save our nation.
I’d love to know. It obviously pissed off a lot of people in the deepstate.
I wonder what Pence’s evening phone conversations are like with his repuglican buddies. He surely has an open line to Asa, Kasich and Ryan. He’s proof positive those undermining Trump aren’t worried about Trump being unable to win. They’re scared spitless he will.
It’s sobering to be as far out of touch with Americans as they have gotten, but then Mike seems pretty sober. Unfortunately, he like many republican leaders have just lost touch with the lifeblood of America that goes far beyond a dollar bill and platitudes.
