Mike Pence destroys his remaining goodwill among MAGA Republicans: It’s hard to say if Pence a useful idiot for the Democrats or if he was an establishment Republican pretending to be a MAGA Republican

As Vice-President, Mike Pence was reviled by the DC Democrat establishment and their PR wing that masquerades as the news media.

Pence is religious, conservative, and pro-life, he also believes in marital fidelity and traditions. He seems to stand for everything that liberals abhor.

They disparaged Pence as anachronistic and misogynistic because he revealed that never dines alone with a woman other than his wife and neither does he attend any event where alcohol is served unless his wife is present.

When Pence was lectured by the sanctimonious cast member of Hamilton the media applauded it.

They mocked Pence each time he led prayers in the White House alongside Trump.

When a fly landed on Pence’s forehead during the 2020 vice-presidential debate, Pence was compared with excrement.

The attacks received by Pence paled in comparison to the Trump Derangement Syndrome that plagued all liberals not just in the US but beyond.  It would be fair to say that Pence was attacked by the media the same way Romney and McCain were during their respective Presidential runs. It wasn’t personal or destructive as it was against Trump.

But since leaving office Pence has been the recipient of favorable treatment by the media.

Left out the most likely possibility:

Pence is a p-———. A virtue signaling boy sprout.

I’ve never thought much of him.

Your #6 +10.

From the article:
It’s hard to say if Pence a useful idiot for the Democrats or if he was an establishment Republican pretending to be a MAGA Republican.

Much worse - he was both.

No need to label the whole man. He was just WRONG concerning Trump on Jan. 6 and election fraud.

My thought always was that Pence is a moderately conservative GOP loyalist. Once Trump was the nominee in ‘16, he agreed to be VP, not because he was a MAGA true believer, but he thought to refuse might start an avalanche of GOPe refusing the nomination, and this would sink the GOP chances down ticket.

So, he provided lukewarm support, and ended up alienating both sides. Fate has moved on.

He is to a tepid bowl of oatmeal as Jeb is to a guacamole bowl.

Although I admire President Trump a great deal and will support him fully if he runs again, from all of the traitors discovered during his term in office I am not impressed with his ability to evaluate the character of those in his “inner circle”. This is one of the very few significant weakenesses Trump has.

Weeks after the news of the discovery of classified documents at Joe Biden’s offices and homes caused headlines, Pence’s lawyer discovered a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence’s Indiana residence. Pence’s lawyer volunteered this information to the appropriate agencies and the news appeared in the media. Was this a move by Pence to make Biden’s mishandling of documents seem like business as usual? One could wonder why Pence’s lawyers did not undertake a similar search for classified documents at Pence’s home when Trump’s home was raided.

Swamp pond scum.

Who knew that flies were smarter than voters?

You’ve summed up Pence the Worm very well, Mr. Rhino.

There’s a special place in Hell for treasonous swine like him.

Pence would be wise to run for the US Senate from Indiana in 2024. He has zero chance to be elected President.

You've hit the nail on the head.

If he was a TRUE team player for our side, he'd secure the US Senate seat for us.

Instead, he's just like that back-stabbing greaseball from New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, who could have picked up the Senate seat there last year for the Republicans.

Not mutually exclusive ideas.

Im sure he was given a list of candidates all pre-selected by the Rinos for him to choose.

Pence isn’t tagging along with any other faction. I believe he is simmply giving his own principled opinions which happen to be out of the Republican mainstream.

Pence was an establishment conservative that Trump picked in order to get votes that he might not have gotten otherwise.
