Why Bother? Mike Pence Hints at 2024 Run After Betraying President Trump, His Voters and America
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 02/01/2021 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/01/2021 4:26:03 PM PST by LibertyWoman

In the the morning on January 6th we noted Vice President Mike Pence would end the day in history branded as a hero or a traitor to his country. We now know that answer.

At noon on January 6th, while the President was speaking to a million patriots in the Capital, VP Pence released his own memo explaining why he was overlooking the corruption and election fraud which ended up stealing the election from President Trump, his boss, and the American people: “It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” Pence said.

...

We all believed that would be the last we saw of this horribly weak man who turned his back on his country.

But apparently not.

Evidently, Mike Pence is putting together a fundraising group to keep in touch with donors.

He just should not bother to waste his time or money.

I don’t care if he manages to finagle Trump’s endorsement.

He’s already blown what slim chance he ever had with me.

I respected his integrity and unflappableness, at one point, but he always struck me as weak, a pushover.

He did not have the fire that Trump had.

And his latest escapades sealed the deal for me.

I will not vote for Pence.

Sending the votes back to the states was the next step

It is not a step at all, next or otherwise. The Vice President has zero authority nor even a role to do that. Zero. That is reality. In fact no entity has the power to send things "back to the states" at the moment. If the Electors were invalidated, Congress would have been in charge of electing the President and Vice President. The role of the States was completely over with at that point.

If different Electors were to be appointed, that is something entirely within the purview of the State legislatures. They did not do so. He had one slate of Electors before him, and his only role is to have the opened and counted. That's it. The Constitution says he "shall" do so. Period. Any parliamentary objections he would rule on as a the president officer. That's it. He cannot make any declarations on his own. And even then, any rulings he made could have been appealed and overturned.

It is time to stop spreading misinformation on what powers and authority the Vice President has and also to stop smearing Pence personally for "refusing" to do something he could not even do. We should have more Constitutional knowledge and political savvy than this around here.

I thought he was stepping out of politics?

To paraphrase a famous cinematic figure:

What puts the ape in apricot
What puts the hot in Hotentot
What does Trump got that I ain’t got

Courage!

He is.

this article is probably made up nonsense just like everything else that comes from this publication as of late.

I know it is easy to blame Dominion and surrender to the it will never be a fair election again...and so on...but that is not the American Spirit. I believe Ronald Reagan said, comfort then, it would be a very American thing to do...

That being said, and putting the defeatist mentality aside,
Who is our bench in 2024?

My thoughts:
—DeSantis
—Noem
I am sure there are a thousand people out there not on the radar. I think Noem punches the gender identity ticket and is a reliable republican.

Odds on race: Noem/Desantis vs Harris/pick your favorite commie

I can usually tell if it is a smear campaign by the number of FReepers that I have no clue who they are.

I’d be OK with Rand Paul.

I’d have to see more of “A winner!” from him, but Rand looks good.

Pence isn’t fit to take out the garbage to the curb. He’s a filthy traitor, to Trump and to all of America. Ptooey!

I fully support your points. I am sick and tired of people buying into this weak legal opinion that Trump latched onto in a desperate attempt to keep power. It was about as bad as the Texas suit to SCOTUS. Trump should have known better and I feel pretty sorry for what Pence had gone through.

He would have been stepping outside his role, perhaps.

Nobody has the fire that Trump has.

We have to find another candidate and have plenty of time to determine the best one. He or she will have different strengths to go against Harris, who will be prez by then.

A desperate attempt to keep power? More like seeking a peaceful solution to the whole catastrophe. More like an attempt to check out the accusations of voter fraud. Getting to the truth about it all. Or isn’t that what you’re in favor of?

But it didn’t happen.

And by the way, Trump had nothing to do with the Texas suit. Maybe you knew that but just thought you’d bring it up as supposedly another terrible idea.

Mike Pence is compromised. A closet pickle smoocher and a backstabbing deep stater.

My family will work hard to elect someone else instead, if he runs. Just like we’ll do all we can to oust Kemp.
