This year, Mike Pence should resolve to become our next president

What if Mike Pence:

Assessed his own political status as 2021 neared its end?

Considered his bravery on Jan. 6 and wants it as part of his legacy?

Looks ahead with dread to a Donald Trump nomination in 2024?

Believes in New Year’s resolutions? L If any or all of these scenarios ring true, Pence is going to do the right thing early in 2022 by announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing that his party needs to get rid of Trump and campaigning immediately to restore Republicans to sanity.

He’s probably persona non grata among the informed base, but that doesn’t mean the establishment won’t push him forward as the nominee.

[all the best]

Pence is only slightly more dynamic and charismatic than George Washington’s remains.

[Leaning Right]

Mike Pence for president? I ran that idea past a guy I know. His response:

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Trump can't run because remember folks, he's the racist.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Trump can't run because remember folks, he's the racist.

There’s not a single voting person in my circle of family, friends, acquaintances who would give Pence the time of day, much less vote for him.

The “snake” KNEW the consequences of a Biden Regime and he wimped out of actions that were constitutionally in his power to do, thus he stabbed Trump in the back & threw America under the “boot” of tyranny. He’s “done” politically, IMO .... let’s see if he’s too stupid/arrogant to realize that & tries to run in 2024.

It makes no sense
to vote for Pence

[kosciusko51]

Let him run. He’ll get heckled for being feckless backstabbing squish on 1/6, and waste a lot of RINO money.

[WellyP]

SCREW PENCE...... we don’t need that COWARD anywhere near the head of government!

[EvilCapitalist]

As someone who’s been to Mount Vernon, and participated in the wreath laying ceremony at George Washington’s grave, I can assure you that George’s remains are vastly more dynamic and charismatic than Mike Pence.

Lord love a duck!
The man is no better (nor worse) than DubYa.

He could hardly be called “Mr. Personality”
Spare us the snore, please!

Pence is an okay guy, but he can't win and he wouldn't make a good president, so he shouldn't even try. Also, Pence running would not mean that the GOP or the country had put Trump behind it, rather the opposite.

If Weisberg really wants to get over Trump the way to do that would be by assimilating Trump, not by repudiating him -- that simply leaves a big hole only Trump can fill.

[frank ballenger]

I think Pence should have known like criminals who later regret being in prison: If you don’t want to do the time then don’t do the crime.

He knew he was a chicken#@$@ cowardly a-hole for betraying Trump and 80 million voters trying to save our Republic.
He chose to do it in hopes of being the next Liz Cheney, Jeb Bush or Kasich American icon. Selfish.

[libh8er]

His whole strategy of getting rid of Trump, holding on to his supporters and getting back to the good graces of the establishment scum ...has majorly backfired. Now he doesn’t know what to do.

[stockpirate]

He should team up with Gov. Hagan and Chris Christie and she which can get the votes.....lol

[Pollard]

Seen near me last Spring

Pence deleted

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The crash-and-burn would be epic.

[Afterguard]

Actually he should become a conservative, then shut up and go away.

[cp124]

90% of the current elected GOP would support him. 90% of the GOP voters would not.
