If Pence does this, he will be one of the greats in American history, and I for one will be very proud to be wrong in my estimation of him.
“If Pence does this, he will be one of the greats in American history, and I for one will be very proud to be wrong in my estimation of him.”
What more can one say?
I have never trusted Pence. Validation will come soon. I hope my assessment was incorrect.
I think Pence is a stand up guy. Look, If we were in his
shoes, it would require an awful log of ducks in a row for
us to do something like we’re asking him to do.
It’s a weighty issue. I think it’s warranted, but you know
the media is going to play it up to the point his family
will be targets.
Then in your own head you have to ask yourself, is this
what I should be doing? Should I? Shouldn’t I?
You know, we can be very convinced of things and shoot
off a comment on a bulletin board, but we’re not the ones
having to make the call whether there was verifiably enough
crime to have turned the election around.
I think so, but I haven’t seen all the evidence that has
been or will be presented to him.
Would it hold up in court? I think it should, but then we
don’t get all the best information. We hear a lot of
sensational stories, and they sure have convinced me.
I’m still not the one man having to make this call.
I feel for the guy.
God be with him.
So far everyone on this site has bad-mouthed Pence even before he goes on stage on January 6th. We don't know what he will do.
It is best to withhold judgment until you have a reason to convict him.
But I will agree with you that if he does what is just and gets Trump's rightful second term restored to him, not only will he be a hero to 74 million+ Trump supporters but he will save the Republic for a while longer in the process.
He would be a shoe-in for president in 2024 as the man who saved Trump's win and the Republic.
He would be worthy of a real-life profile in courage.
“If Pence does this, he will be one of the greats in American history, and I for one will be very proud to be wrong in my estimation of him.”
I concur. I think Pence will pray for the right answer, and it will come to him...

So, you think it’s a good idea to establish a precedent where the sitting VP gets to choose the next President? Seems like there might be a bit of a problem with that. How would you like Harris to have that kind of power?
Me too
So he can be just another Spiro Agnew or Walter Mondale. Or he can be one of the great historical figures of American history.
We will know by next week at this time.
