Pence Skirts Direct Question on Whether He Would Drop Out of 2024 Race If He Fails to Qualify for the Next GOP Debate

'We're working really hard to qualify for the debate,' the former vice president told NBC's Kristen Welker

--------------------------------------------

Pence got asked directly on Sunday if he would drop out of the 2024 presidential race should he fail to qualify for the upcoming third Republican primary debate.

The former vice president wouldn't directly answer the question.

"We're working really hard to qualify for the debate," Pence said in response to the question on NBC's 'Meet the Press' posed by host Kristen Welker. "I don't have the most money in this campaign, but I do have the most experience."

To qualify for the Nov. 8 debate in Miami, candidates must demonstrate campaign contributions from at least 70,000 unique donors and register at least 4% support in two national polls, or in one national poll and one early-state poll that meets the Republican National Committee's polling requirements.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley are the only Republican candidates whose campaigns have announced they have qualified for the third debate so far.

I am running because it is no time for on the job training.

I am the most conservative and most experienced candidate in this race.

RE: Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley are the only Republican candidates qualified for the third debate so far.

That’s like a favorite long running TV series that loses the big star, then the second rank stars and then tries to get by with unknowns and the old assistants. (Like NCIS Mark Harmon, David Macallum (RIP) Pauley Parrette and Emily Wickersham gone but we can have the underlings now and the guy from Office Space we didn’t like the first time).

NCIS has turned into a yawn fest - much like Mike Pences’s campaign.

Pence was always a follower, not a leader.

Most vice presidents are like that.

Since I was a kid I hated the lulls in movies and TV shows which I know call exposition or characterization.

The latest Chicago PD and Blue Bloods have ten minutes of a show at a time with “should this relationship go to the next level?” and “I remember when your grandmother had a problem with someone she would try to get through to them like this.”
Instead of “Shots fired at officer. We need backup.”

Chicago Fire used to have points of heartfelt conversation where I was about to get up to see about a snack when they rang that klaxon horn and everybody ran to the fire truck.

I’d be happy if he dropped out of the human race. He gave us Biden.

Actually, Mike Pence was in charge of the coronavirus task force. I would say he was a complete failure. He did not seem to know as much about many aspects of the situation, as we knew just by reading what was posted on FreeRepublic.

I suspect the fly would get more votes than Pence.

At this point he just in it to hoard money. He knows he’s one of the most hated people in the GOP and doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell to be the nominee.

Mike “Quisling” Pence has to check in first with his globalist paymasters and Rona ROMNEY McDaniels for his marching orders.
