The left could tolerate a president Pence. He is a squish and they could manipulate him to doing their evil marxist work.
Resume enhancer for Trump
Most people in the Trump camp acknowledge that the man was a poor judge of character - that he elevated and allied with numerous people (e.g., Pence) and/or appointed them to positions of power and prominence although they, ultimately, were not worthy (with many of them actually turning on / against him later).
I choose to believe that President Trump was probably a better judge of character than most people - but that the D.C. swamp often forced him to choose the proverbial "lesser of two evils." Further, the Deep State was constantly at odds with him, undermining him and suborning his subordinates.
Look forward to voting for him again (for the third time) this November.

The magnitude of Pence refusing to endorse trump is what? SQUAT.
That would be like expecting Benedict Arnold to endorse George Washington. Who writes this nonsense?
Nobody even knows who this clown is outside of political junkies.
7/10 people asked wouldn’t be able to name Trump’s VP. Even fewer will care once his shiny, new VP is announced.
Proving many of these Republicans are “business as usual” tyrants. They have no intent of being servant leaders and abiding by their oath. They’re there for power just like the democrats but in a different way of getting there.
Did anyone really expect Pence to endorse Trump now, considering the Vice President”s current positions? I certainly did not. How much influence would a Mike Pence endorsement even carry? Probably not much.
Mike is most likely, now “retired” from elective politics.
He is a Statesman, ready to write more books and give more speachess and pop up on CNN or PBS.
This recalls to mind Trump’s speech circa 2:30am upon being called the winner of the 2016 election. He mentioned everyone but Pence. I thought right then, Pence & wife will never forgive the snub. Two holier-than-thou RINOs who had accepted a crap sandwich, running with such an unregenerate sinner. Fortunately, Pence on his own cannot pull dogcatcher votes.
This year, Trump doesn’t need to wear a Pence like an armband. It turned out he didn’t need it then.
The bastards never give up. Trump is the only one around that can put a dent in the establishment.
Headline “The Magnitude of Pence”
could have also been phrased:
“The Audacity of Pence” or the Sheer Gall!
Where’s the magnitude of influence he supposedly has if he never made it out of single digit poll numbers? At least that’s what I recall; I haven’t found his highest poll number yet.
Magnitude and Pence do not belong in the same sentence.
The magnitude of anything Pence does is so small as to require scientific notation in order to approach its nothingness. Goes for the WaPo and MSN also. No one gives a shi....er...gives a Dorkbama about anything they say.
Pence will be remembered as a Judas Iscariat - a betrayer of his master. The task which history upon him to perform was simply to take to a couple of weeks to validate the electoral votes and the bastard didn’t posses the loyalty and the guts to do it. He is a disgraceful human being in my book.
The Post’s language seems loaded. Surprise, surprise.
I don’t remember. Wasn’t it a pledge to support the eventual nominee? Not so much a quick response to an unexpected question, but a well-considered response to a question they knew was coming. It seems to me that going back on a pledge has some resemblance to lying.
Pence clearly has a book coming out. He also clearly wants a multi million dollar a year gig at MSLSD.
In biblical terms raising your hand stating you would support the eventual nominee and then not supporting the nominee shows exactly what type of man Pence is. He is a liar. He had the choice to hold his hand down and didn't at the time. He is now showing the world that he is a liar and his word is worth as much as saliva in a tobacco spittoon. There was a day when a man's word was worth gold and you could count on it. Pence is a coward.
Magnitude 1/4 storm.
This is literally a nothing story. He is just another in a long line of GOP lifers who have seen Trump supersede all of their political hopes and dreams in a single decade , who now petty and jealous and using the only supposed leverage have- to crap on their own candidate.
